In just under two weeks I am closing on my house. This house comes with a second full size fridge located in the basement. The basement is unfinished and not ready for a bar, so I want to run a tap line to the kitchen (one floor above).
I am looking for feedback and ideas to help make this work.
My idea so far is this...
The kegs will of course be in the fridge downstairs. I am going to run a 4" PVC pipe from the side of the fridge, to the kitchen wall. Inside of the PVC, I will run two plastic tap lines from the kegs in the fridge to the wall in the kitchen. This of course does mean making a hole in the side of the fridge. To keep the beer cool, I was thinking of tapping a hole from the freezer and running a pipe that will go from the the freezer, into the PVC and to the top of the PVC where it will open up short of the end so the air can circulate back down to the fridge. To get the air moving, I was going to use a 4" inline duct fan from the home depot for $14.
At the top where the taps will be, I want to mount an access panel so that I can to maintenance on the lines when needed. I am just going to use to standard taps since there won't be room under the cabinet for a large tap handle.
If anyone has suggestions, or experience with this, please let me know.
Cheers
