I'm in the planning stage for my draft system.
Here's what I know:
- I got a 14 cubic foot frigidaire chest freezer from the inlaws.
- I have no room inside the house for it except in the basement crawl space (about 5' high).
- There is a brick chimney for the boiler and water heater running right up the middle of the house
- The space next to where this chimney is in the dining room is currently being used as a liquor cabinet
- There is a good sized hole already in existence where I can see the basement when I open the liquor cabinet
Here's what I plan to do:
- I'll put the chest freezer in the crawl space and run the lines up the chimney to the taps I'll have installed in the liquor cabinet.
- I have enough room to run the lines nearly straight from the top of the freezer to cabinet, so I can use a 4-5" diameter insulated PVC pipe to seal the lines from freezer to tap
Here's my question:
- what would be the best method of cooling the lines for the nearly 6' of travel from the freezer to the tap? Keep in mind this is vertical travel but it will be 100% sealed from outside air.
Thanks for any help you guys are able to provide!
