I am providing ten gallons of a single beer to an event with a good number of people. After reading countless threads on the matter, I have decided on biding a small jockey box, single tap, with a 120 ft of SS coil. I want the coil large enough to be able to handle a near constant flow of beer, from a room temp keg.
I am intending to use a Perlick 525 faucet, and was thinking of using a small round igloo cooler. I have an extra 10 gallon, that I was going to use as a mashtun for 5 gallon batches, but since I never do 5 gallons I have never used it.
Instead of lugging around a 5lb CO2 tank, I see some using 20oz paintball tanks. Is there enough CO2 and pressure in those tanks to keep up with a good demand on two 5 gallon kegs? My understanding, is that I need a good amount of pressure to push beer through 120ft. of coil. These would be really nice, as they are a lot easier to lug around.
I am also looking for the best price I can on the SS Coil. The best price I can find is $168 from wholesaledraft.com, but not being familiar with them i am a little learly when everyone else is over $200 on the coil.
Any help would be appreciated.
