    Cooling long run

    My original idea was to not have any coolant at all, and recirculate the beer. There are beer pumps, but they run on CO2, not electricity. If I could find an electrically driven pump, then it seems that you could just circulate the beer through the keg to keep it from getting warm. Is there...

    Cooling long run

    Thanks for the tip. If I understand you correctly, that's essentially how the glycol long run systems work. It looks like I could build my own trunk line, or buy the premade stuff from micromatic. I haven't priced everything out, but it seems like I could run stainless product lines and...

    Cooling long run

    I'm thinking any potable water rated pump would work. It's cold, and the flow rate can be low (there's only 12oz/10' of 1/4 in tubing, so pushing .5 gallons/minute would cycle 50' of tubing every minute.) The biggest requirement is it would need to be rated for the pressure, and be food grade...

    Cooling long run

    I've been researching how to cool a run from a keezer in my basement to taps in my kitchen. I've read a bunch of post about using air or or glycol, but I had an idea that I don't see anywhere. I'm assuming I'm missing something that makes this fundamentally impossible, so please point it out...
