Hi iam looking for some advice i stuck with my new build i am currently running 3 kegs in a chest freezer running a controller. Due to the design the taps are going to have to be mounted on the counter. This is an outdoor setup and im worried about keeping the fluid in the lines cool enough as in summer it gets up to 38 oc. My plan was to use soft copper pipe (coil) and wrap it in a tight spiral around the lines and then return back to a metal tank in the bottom of the freezer running at 1oc and use a pump to circulate glycol. Whats your thoughts? I do not have enough room to ru a separate freezer to cool the glycol.

I don't think you need to use copper and wrap it in a tight spiral. I think that is overkill. Search for DIY trunk line and you will see that trunk line uses 2 regular hoses for the glycol loop. You just need to insulate the trunk line well. Alternatively you can buy pre-made trunk line.
 
Thanks for your advice i am going to get a cobra 3 tap flooded font and ill see how it goes.
