Shown above is the first pint poured from the fridge/kegerator. For you beer geeks, I switched from a "Cobra" picnic style tap to the normal draft tap or faucet. I also downsized the liquid line to a 3/16" ID from 1/4". Huge difference! 1/4" line does not offer enough "head" or pressure drop on the beer where as 3/16" gives you approx. 2 psi drop per ft of line. Serving pressure is typically around 10-12 psi so at 5ft of line your beer should flow ever so slowly out of the faucet to produce a perfect pour. As seen above, the stout has a nice 1/2" to 3/4" head.
Here's the front, 2 taps, only one handle right now. I cut a camshaft from a 1979 Chevy Camaro to use a handle. Wicked Boss, Guy!
The guts....keg of homebrew stout, C02 cylinder, C02 lines (red) coming from a 3 port manifold. Also seen are random bottles of brew and a Helles Lager still in the secondary fermenter.
