hey guys...I have been Homebrewing for about 3 months now...have done 4 batches and doing my fifth this weekend....love it. I have been bottling my brew up to now, however, I am in the process of clubbing out my unfinihsed basement....and of course I will be adding a wet bar.
The end of the wet bar will butt up against an enclosed room (closet if you will) that will be big enough to hold a beer meister or converted refrigerator for (3) 5 gallon homebrew kegs. My plan is to install the tap handles on a mock end of a barrel on the wall just above the bar top....so the hoses from the kegs will need to run from the fridge/beer meister to the wall and thru it.
my question is this.....what about the beer setting in the hose between where it leaves the cold refrigerator and to the tap handles? It will obviously get warm.....so the first bit of the pour will have to be tossed...etc. Will it sour in the line, etc.
Im sure some of you guys have installed "remote" coolers/refrigerators for you kegs withe the location of the pour handle a distance away....any advice? Issues with this?
Thanks!
