I’m going to order the same tower. I noticed it came with 4’ serving lines. Did you use the supplied lines or replace them? I wasn’t sure If they are long enough to not have foam. What serving pressure are you running? Thanks!Not sure the dimensions but I can just barely squeeze a CO2 tank on the hump, 3 ball lock cornies, and a 1gal mini keg! Tubing management is, um, difficult because if I stick them behind where they don't get in the way then whichever loop is closest to the back freezes... PITA
I didn't measure but I'm pretty sure they are way longer than 4'. I used what was provided but might upgrade at some point. It is not the typical line I'm used to. It was rigid like really small PEX not like the extra thick vinyl. It was a PITA to get the barbs on my MFL fittings into the tubing. I had to boil water to heat it up and still required patience! It comes with oetiker style clamps as well, which is great, but I didn't have a tool. A pair of wire cutters sufficed but the tool would have been nice. I haven't figured out the best way to manage the tubing either. With 3 kegs it is pretty tight and the most natural place for the tubing is against the back wall, but it freezes the line closest so I need to get some insulation for the tubbing to prevent that. Other than those small issues I freaking LOVE that tower and kegerator combo! Really glad I didn't go the keezer build routeI’m going to order the same tower. I noticed it came with 4’ serving lines.

Thanks for the reply. That’s what I wanted to hear. It would be cheap enough to swap out lines with something more flexible I guess. I’ll be ordering that and maybe a tower cooler as well.I didn't measure but I'm pretty sure they are way longer than 4'. I used what was provided but might upgrade at some point.

I double insulated the tower and still have to pull and drink a couple of ounces on the first pour to get to the cold stuff. Let me know if you do order the tower cooler, it's on my list!Thanks for the reply. That’s what I wanted to hear. It would be cheap enough to swap out lines with something more flexible I guess.

That is a brilliant fn idea! I've lost a ton of stickers to dieing fridges!I've cut up magnet sheets so my stickers are able to be moved around or replaced easily!

The irritation will be well worth it bc it already looks pretty damn cool.Mine's still a work in progress - the black pipe draft tower is giving me @#$@# fits. Still need to do the wiring on the control panel/shelf at the back that'll control lighting for the chalkboard and under counter lighting as well as install the regulators and whatnot.

Awesome seeing some love for Knoxville on thereGot it late last fall. I had been saving up stickers for years; one of the sides is completely covered as well. Have a dual-gauge regulator in the back. In addition also have a beer fridge/fermentation chamber and a yeast/hop fridge (also all covered with stickers).

After 23 years in the Navy, and nearly a decade of brewing, I’m finally retired to my forever home, with space to build and house a kegerator. I made dis View attachment 564025
I love your background. Just cut up six pack holders? Are they glued in place or how are the held up?
