Tower on Jockey Box

[Ki-ri-n]

So I'm adding a tower to my jockey box (cooler with a cold plate). Do I need to make a hole only large enough for the beer line or do I need to make it as large as the tower? Either one ok for help keeping the beer line in the tower cold?

I was going to add more insulation in the tower seeing as how I'm only running 1 tap.

All I wound up doing was removing the slim flimsy Styrofoam liner and replaced it with a pool noodle that I cut to fit.
Worked like a dream, even during the 4th of July.

Just wondering why you mounted the supply line in the lid as well? Do you have a pic of it all hooked up? I also would like to mount a tower on top so I'm just curious?

It had to go somewhere and the top just seemed more convenient. Don't have a pic of it all hooked up but I could take one. Just picture a keg hooked up to CO2 and a beer-to-beer jumper from them keg to the box.

The PVC "stand off" is so the cold plate doesn't sit in water, only ice. There's no drain port on the cooler I used. It sits about 1.5" off the bottom and keeps it centered in the cooler. At the start, you have to use your hands to make sure there's ice under the plate at the start-that's it. Good for a day in ~90° heat.

The cold plate I used is a two pass plate. But I looped it seeing as I only have 1 tap.

Thanks for the quick reply! Great idea with the pool noodle! I will be using that for my pending build!
