I've been given the task of figuring out which fridge would make the best 2 corny kegerator(sanyo 4912) and how best to add taps to it. I've actually put alot of time into searching and clicking everything I can find on the subject and can't find anything on DIY tap towers. I saw Biermuncher's pvc tower but can't find a thread on what materials needed, where to get the elbow shanks/ etc. I Don't know what the individual parts are called. I know what the shank and the faucet are but not so sure on how many and what washers do you need. Is there some wierd spacer you are going to need to get the taps to form to the convex shape on the outside of a 3" diameter tower? What diameter of PVC is needed to make aforementioned spacers? If i go with a ventmatic or perlick faucet is there a different elbowed shank I need or does it matter? What parts are needed to make a metal tap tower? I can find plastic/pvc parts (pvc toilet flange, etc) and paint but I can't find the shiney metal parts in the hardware store to duplicate it in chrome. I can find galvanized steel but I want it nice shiney. Any help on this topic will benefit someone who wants to drink more hand crafted NON BMC beer! All of that said I've seen some great ideas on insulating towers and using a copper pipe to transfer cold to the top as well as foam insulation added to the tower filling up the space. All great ideas that I can't wait to employ, just need to get some info on parts so I can build a tower in the first place. :cross:
