I have been working on building a new bar for the basement that will incorporate the 3 vessel e-herms into the bar area instead of a separate room. While I work on this I wanted to be able to use my nice back bar fridge that will be eventually built into the bar. I threw a top together out of double layer MDF and some face trim.
The main attraction though is the tap tower which I am building by hand. I will be using this tower in the final bar and scraping the temporary bar top.
The tower is made out of 4" copper pipe that I cut to size and drilled holes for the shanks This pipe took some serious polishing to give it a shine. It was coated in Renaissance Wax then to prevent oxidation. I am using parts from Still Dragon to make everything connect with Tri Clamp. The ends are soldered on copper Tri Clamp slip adapters. This is a design element I am very excited about because it will tie into my brewery right next to it in the final build of the bar. My whole brewery is all Tri Clamp connections.
The taps are going to be a stout faucet on Nitro for the 1st and 8th tap with 6 CO2 taps in the middle. The 6 main taps are Perlick 650ss. The fridge is a Glasstender.
I will update pics as I make progress.
