I picked up a Glastender 60" Back Bar Cooler on Wheels, Model BB60-L6-BSH(LL), 115V at a local auction site for $225. The initial plan was to put it in my utility room behind the basement bar and run taps through the wall. This is still possible, though this thing is HEAVY and the idea of getting it down the stairs does not sound appealing.
I had an idea to place this in my garage. I could run the lines through the lower wall of my garage, across the unfinished ceiling in the utility room and down to the wall taps on the back of the bar. This would be a run of about 10-15 ft.
the two questions I have are:
1. does anyone have experience cutting j to one of these rigs? If I keep it in the garage it would be ideal to cut through the side wall of the cooler but I don’t know if there are components opposite of the compressor that would prevent that.
2. For a run of 15 ft, what’s my best option to keep the beer cold along the way? Insulate PVC around the lines? Use a blower? There will be a 4-5 turns in the line.
And, just generally speaking, anyone have experience owning a commercial cooler?
Thank you!
