So I am building a 8-tap bar with remote cold storage and glycol cooled trunk line. I have a 8-tap air-cooled tower that I am going to use. I was originally going to build it right on my keezer and just push cold air from the keezer through the tower. So now I am looking at putting a small liquid-to-air exchanger with a fan inside the tower so that the glycol loop can go through it and push cold air directly into the tower. The other option is to wrap the shanks in small copper tubing so that the glycol cools the shanks and keeps the foamy pours to a minimum.

Any other ideas? Also, what temperature are people keeping their glycol set at for trunk line? I have this chiller: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B004SKZ328/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20
