I have been wanting to build a Jockey box for a while but the cost of stainless tubing or a chill plate has kept me from it. The problem is that I want at least a 4 tap. I have seen designs that have 50 foot of tubing per tap. There is no way I can afford it.
Here is my plan. Make 4 short 10 feet long counter flow chillers. It would still have everything submerged in ice water in a cooler. A small 12 volt pump could run quite awhile on a power tool battery whitch I have plenty of. It would much more efficiently cool the beer.
Do you think it will work? Yes I know it will be a little more complicated but I think it's a good trade off.
