I have built a copper cored trunk line with six beer product lines to chill the beer from the Kegerators to the taps. i have a small submersible pump to circulate the cooling water and the flow is good. I realize that chilling a water reservoir in a kegerator is not the most efficient way of...

Yes Duncan. They are all Duotight. I looked at using barbs with Oetiker clamps but it’s tough to get the crimper in there. The Duotights are easily removable for service - especially from the shank end rather than the hose end. Additionally, the price of the tower shank with Duotight connector...

Yes it does. A quarter turn will illuminate the bulb and indicates the bar is open! Paul

Here are some pictures of the build progress.

After six months or so of reading how homebrewers have tackled building an esthetically pleasing, reasonable costing and functional way of serving their precious homebrew, I have completed a beer tower and trunk line and thought I'd share the pictures here. My main design criteria were: - Six...

I have a Kegco XCK-1B which comfortably holds four corny kegs with four taps on the air cooled tower. The ‘bump’ which most fridges and freezers have is very big inside and makes the unit very deep. It measures 30”. The unit is solid and designed for commercial bars and it is very loud. The...

Thanks for all the constructive guidance Duncan. Good point on putting the return lines inside the trunk line insulation. I hadn’t thought about them picking the ambient heat up. I like the idea that the returns have less ‘resistance’ than the copper feed and instead of bringing the two ends of...

Hi - I have read a number of threads on here regarding DIY Trunk lines and before I start building one I'd like to confirm I have all the key points addressed. I have two Komos V2 Kegerators on order which will be placed side by side (with the recommended air gaps). There will be a total of...

+1 for a BIAB mode to be added to the controller. I had never thought about why it is designed that way but you are right - its geared up for RIMS & HERMS systems. Thanks for the insight Bobby.

Thanks. I currently have a four keg setup with 5.5 feet of the 4mm EVA tubing and Duotight connections and it’s perfect. I am hoping I can get a similar pour with a six tap system but am concerned about the warming of the lines. With the existing traditional kegerator system, the lines and the...

Thanks for the good review and the warning about mounting requirements. I will read the information on the site. where did you buy yours from? Paul

Good tip Bobby. Allowing for an extra 4” on each side for each of the two units will be tough But if I keep the air moving I should be able to reduce that. Are these units available anywhere now? The MoreBeer & Keg Factory sites both state August-September timeframe. While that timeframe would...

I am building a home bar and will have six kegs feeding a homemade 'T' type tower and I have couple of questions. 1) The line length will be around 7-8' maximum. What is the best way to ensure cold non-foaming beer? Just insulate the lines well and keep them away from heat sources. Have a...

I am looking to buy a couple of kegerators to store eight corny kegs. I do not need the towers since the kegerators will be built in (under counter) and I will run the lines to a six tap home-made serving tower. In looking at my options there is either the Commercial quality Kegco HK38BSU-1...

Anyone?

Hi - I am building a bar but need to decide on how the Corny kegs will be coold before I finalize the design. I would like to have space for 6 kegs plus 2 'on deck' for conditioning. I realize this is a lot and could live with space for six kegs if needed. The kegerator would be located under...

Just to close out this thread. I ended up buying a tower shank and using a belt sander I was able in 5 minutes to sand off the curved pieces designed to fit around the tower. The metal is pretty thin and with carefull sanding I was able to get it sanded evenly so it is indistinguishable from...

This is good. The bar itself is about the same size as I was planning and I’m also planning on a poured concrete surface. Is the main bar (the high part) also concrete? One piece? How easy is it to pull the freezer out to change a keg? How does the top of the freezer attach? Any more...

Mmm- the drip tray. I forgot about that in the design. Thanks. Paul

Interesting ideas! Thanks. I hadn’t considered a vertical freezer and not sure it would look good. In addition with my previous builds the max number of corny keys I have managed into a vertical was five. And that was enough to collapse the frame and push the caster up into the body! Also the...
