Finally 3 beers on tap

[Bearcat Brewmeister]

Over the last month, I finally finished my freezer conversion and made the beers that are the first on tap: Scotch Ale, APA, and Porter. I plan on rotating those and variations on those since the first two are my favorites (recipes posted) and SWMBO loves the Porter. I used my new Line Length and Pressure Calculator to get the beer lines and pressure right for each style. Thanks to Dude for his post on the Ventmatics from eBay and David 42 for his post on the secondary regulators from American Science & Surplus.

Looks great but...

It ain't finished until you build some drip trays.

 

[Bearcat Brewmeister]

True enough. Right now, I stand and wait for the last drops (kind of like standing at the urinal). It definitely is non-value added time that is taking away from drinking.

That secondary regulator setup is exactly what I am building right now. By the looks of it you got most of your hardware from kegkits as well. Awesome setup, I can't wait to have the same.

Damn drip trays are expen$ive. I'm still waiting till I can afford to fork out another $160 on that convenience.

How big a driptray are you looking at?? My 36" wasn't even $160!

Looks great! But I think you shud send that north (to my house).Chapeau!

36" is about what I need. I also need a wall mounted tray which tends to be a bit more expensive.

if im looking at this right you might be able to fit another corny in there

 

[Bearcat Brewmeister]

Nope, doesn't fit by about an inch and a half. Three is good for now. If need more, I will just sell this one on Craigslist and find a bigger one there.

Ah yes - that'd do it. I suppose you could fab a nice wood shelf that matches the collar to use a non-wall mount tray, but time vs. money it's probably a wash compared to just buying the wall mounted tray.

Looks great, BTW.

So does the OP's

Very nice! Great job and 3 separate regs too.

Min of 2 regs was a requirement as I am in the position of having my one of my favorite brews being Scottish Ale. Note the last reg has a Y splitter on it. Did this so I can hook up my recently purchased Blichmann Beer Gun for filling bottles to enter in competitions and pass out to friends.
