Love the glass rinser. Is that plumbed to cold water line?
Christ I couldn't drink a beer in there if I had a gun to my head. Yikes.

No....I have a small torpedo keg I fill with water, put in the keezer, then pressurize with the CO2 I'm using to push the beer. The liquid OUT line feeds the glass rinser. About 18-20 psi is enough to get it to spray. Side benefit: the water coming out is cold, and helps chill the beer glass.

If you look at the pic below, you can see the torpedo keg on the right, with the line coming out of it and attached to the inside of the collar. It exits the inside on the left where it attaches to a bulkhead shank. The it comes out and feeds the rinser.

Judging by those tap handles, you almost would have that.
As for me, I would find it hard to ever leave.
To each their own, but many o kegs were also killed...

This is great. Question: What keeps the water from going bad and growing "yuckies" in it seeing as it has no ABV content? Love the idea, just don't want to rinse the beer glass with dirty water.

I just use RO water, and it's under pressure. I just added water to it a couple days ago, nothing going on in there except water hanging out.

@mongoose33. great thread! What color stain is that on the newest build? I am in the middle of my build and considering a red mahogony or red chestnut. Like the deep red on that pine collar you have.

I think it was Chestnut. What was weird about the way it turned out is that I didn't realize how good it would look if I stained the inside as well. I was just doing that to seal the wood. I'd originally planned to put 1" foamboard on the inside of the collar, but there's a lot of wood there, and it insulates fairly well.

Thanks and yup I think peeps underrate the insulating value of wood as long as cracks and crannies are sealed too. Thanks!
I always wondered if there was a weak sanitizer solution.

Sorry, I didn't see this last post until just now.
My torpedo keg is clean, and all I'm adding to the keg is clean water. I'm not sure what yuckies could grown in there given the lack of a food source.. At any rate, I've had to refill the Torpedo keg several times and never have I seen anything in there but water.
