I'm building my first kegerator, and I'm going to make a tower for the taps out of black iron pipe. I understand that these towers can get warm between pours, causing foaming.
I've seen solutions that involve pumping cold fluid (or blowing cold air) up the pipe, but couldn't I just create a heat sink inside the fridge to get the same effect? I mean, extend the metal from outside the fridge to inside, and let the metal itself conduct the cold up (OK, conduct the heat down) and keep it cool.
Has anyone tried this? Did it work, or not? Can anyone think of a reason it wouldn't work, or some other drawback I'm not thinking of?
