Hey everybody. I've been working on this keezer build over the last week and so far all is going well. I do have a question regarding the beer line though, but first I will post the pics so the question makes a little more sense 
.
Collar built
Enclosure built and temporarily connected.
Picked up a little marble today. Have to make the counter piece still. Was just sizing it up here. (Will more than likely be going three tiles wide)
A top view of the keezer. I also am still working on the insulated box that will house the faucet/shank/beerline, but for now, I will use this dusty speaker monitor as a placeholder haha.
And the view from the side. This is where the problem arises.
Sooo. I am trying preserve the freezer used for this build and not destroy it by running the beer line through a hole in the top. I also had originally planned to run the line right through the collar in front, but decided it was at an awkward height to pour a pint. I am hoping to run it through the collar in the back, and into the insulated dispensing box on the counter.
If you look at the last picture, you can see where the temp controller line is running (which is right about where the beer line will be coming from) and that means there will be about 6-7 inches of exposed line. I have read people here using different cooling methods to run a line 10-30 feet, but with this short of a distance, is there really going to be a problem? I do plan on using some sort of insulation around the line that is exposed, will this be enough?
Let me know what you think!
..Okay, decided to take one last pic, of what I kind of envision this to amount to haha. (Minus tower holder, faucet, finished counter, driptray, etc, etc)
