Hi all. So I had a kind of crazy idea to turn an old barrel or nail keg into a portable jockey box.
Basically, you'd fill the inside of an old 5-10 gallon barrel with waterproof insulating spray foam, add an SS coil on the inside, add a beer shank and tap, and a beer line in from your corny keg.
Here's my quandary. To keep with the look of the barrel, I would like to do a traditional wooden spigot instead of a modern SS faucet head. Something like this: https://morewinemaking.com/products/wood-barrel-spigot-8-cm-3-long.html
Does anyone have an idea of how I might adapt this to work with a shank, or even just a beer line? The spigot itself works for gravity, and I imagine if I feed a line into the spigot it would serve ok, but I'm not sure if the spigot could withstand the PSI.

Want my beer to stay cold but still be able to be dispensed in period vessels!
