I'm going to be building my freezer/kegerator in the near future and I had an idea for a tap handle. I have a really old trolling rod with one of those old, big saltwater reels on it (see http://thumbs1.ebaystatic.com/d/l225/m/mgrpH-6uyjt2IQ8DC9yzAHA.jpg)
I was toying with the idea of using a hacksaw to cut the grip part of the rod off and use the grip + reel as a tap handle. But I'm pretty sure this is going to be too heavy.
Does anybody have any insight as to how much weight I can put on a tap handle before the faucet is not going to stay closed? I'm getting stainless perlick faucets.
Thanks!
