I've been looking at posts and plans over the past week or so for a keezer build. My fiancé and I are in the process of house hunting, and she's all for building a "pub room" if an extra bedroom/game room permits (no begging or pleading on my part, either).
My plans are to build a counter/bar that will allow me to place the keezer underneath it, with two tap towers on top of the bar (two faucets on each).
So here is my predicament: instead of installing the faucets directly to the wood collar of a keezer like I've seen in most plans, the lines would run from the keezer, out of the drilled holes in the collar, and up to the towers installed on the bar top above. This means I would have a section of lines exposed, which obviously means the beer in the exposed portion of lines would be room temperature. The only thing I could think of doing to help alleviate the temperature problem would be to build some kind of insulated arm that would encompass all exposed lines from the side of the keezer to the bottom of the bar, but that just seemed like it'd be ineffective and a huge waste of time. Does anybody have a recommendation for helping maintain a suitable temperature for the short amout of exposed lines?
