I know the standard for cooling coils is 50 to 100 feet of stainless steel coil, but has any out tried to use plastic refrigerator tubing? or Copper? I Guess 25 feet on 3/8 in copper might work as well?

get a cold plate.. thats the hot setup. How many brews do you plan on having on tap?

I'd avoid the copper. You'd need a ton of plastic tubing too.
I second the vote for the cold plate. I have both a stainless coil jockey box and a cold plate jockey box. I really prefer the cold plate much more.

Ooooh thats cool!
Thanks, I'm trying to put one together for my Bachelor party in February, I have two threw wall taps from my old fridge conversion that I will use. That looks like a sweet set up for you wedding. The place we are doing the reception said No kegs, but I got them to throw in a Super selection of Anderson Vally beers.

So I went a little over board, But I was thinking that some day i might want seven taps! or I might try using the 5 remaining paths linked together as a wort chiller , that way my jocky box will have two uses.
I got this on ebay for 108 with shipping. it is new with all the fittings.
is looks to be $50 less than the cheapest I found, and There are two left if any one wants one.
