Well, Ive finally updated all 14 faucets to Perlick 650ss Faucets, used the stainless shanks that I already had, and updated to John Guest Shank fittings, Bev Seal Ultra 235 ¼ ID x 3/8 OD tubing, and John Guest fittings on the quick disconnects. I have 12 ft of stainless hex bar on order, and hopefully will be able to change out all the tap handles for hex stainless tap handles soon, and Ill update with new pictures then. Here is the current state of the kegeratore/walk-in:

Couldn't you fit a fifteenth faucet on the end of the box? I mean, why not think big?

Just put a thread about it in the DIY section. That's a granite top and reclaimed cypress.

That's an amazing 14 tap setup!
Thanks! It has been a lot of fun to work on and tweak. This hobby has been great!

Seriously - that is a sick setup. A sickness I can appreciate. I was worried about myself when I went to seven taps, but you have given me something to strive for!
The walk-in is a killer. I can't say how often I wish for more cold storage - and I have two full size stand-up freezers on STC-1000's, two shorties on STC-1000'c and a kegerator that holds nine kegs. Still not quite enough room for hops and yeast.

^^ Very nice. I'd love to have a walkin freezer.
I think with 14 handles, a buffer might be worth getting. The handles wouldn't be the only things you'd use it for.
Looks like the perfect task for a stupidly cheap angle grinder and pads from Harbor Freight...
Cheers!
I know the HF stuff is inexpensive, but if you already have a lathe you could fit a three-grade buffer to, that might be the better option wrt ease of use.
Presumably you can hold the handles to the buffer and work the full length and all sides on each grade, whereas with an angle grinder you're confronted with either chucking the handles (very limited access) or chucking the grinder (good access - but can be a bit tricky to manage) and you'd have to switch pads...
Cheers!
Yea, I'll need to do more research to find what will work best for me. the triple buffer attachments are over $50, but give me the flxibility of three buffing wheels. So, I'll look into the angle grinder attachments and figure out what can work best for me. If I go with the angle grinder, I would just put the hex tap handles in my vise, and rotate for each side. This would be more work and tedious than the lathe option, so we'll see!
Find a bolt with the same thread, put that in the vice, screw the handle on, rotate as needed.
Hmmmmmmmm, that is an interesting option. I need to find a buffer attachment for my angle grinder first though!
That's just a brilliant idea!
Cheers! (wish I'd thought of that! )
