Couple questions for those that have been there before... I'm about to convert a regular fridge into a kegerator. Taps thru the fridge door. So 2 questions:
1: Shank length - I want to keep it as short as possible so they don't protrude too far into the fridge space. Quick measurement shows I've got approx 2 inches to get thru the door itself. So I'm thinking something like this: Chrome Plated 3 1/2
Or should I look at the next size up? 4.5"?
2: Given these are on a fridge door do I want to space the tap out a bit? I can buy one inch spacers. Or do you find your tap handles are far enough from the fridge door when in the closed position that it doesn't matter? Obviously this will effect question one above... lol.
Which brings me to question 3 even though I said only 2 questions....
3: Drip tray!!! I'm going to have 5 taps, will a 14" drip tray be enough or do I need something longer?
Thanks!
