Son of Fermentation + Beer Engine Combo

[LabRatBrewer]

While reading the DYI threads and bookmarking many future projects, I wondered if you couldn't combine the Son of Fermentation project with the RV hand pump project (beer engine) for serving cask ale? I saw a thread for a nice keezer/beer engine combo. Is there any reason the SoF wouldn't work in combination with a beer engine? I know the fermentation temp might not match cellar temp for cask serving so maybe it could not be used for both purposes at the same time, but could be a multiple use project?

I can't see why it wouldn't work, other than as you mentioned your real ale wouldn't be at cellar temp. I imagine you could come up with some sort of gorgeous hybrid.

I think it would work. I am eyeing a white storage cabinet in my garage that I could build the dual use contraption into. Time to get out the measuring tape (and learn to use google's sketch up program). Hmmm.

Be sure to post pics of your progress, I'd love to see what you come up with.
