Advice for Beer Taps in my kitchen

Post by ChrisG » Thu Feb 03, 2011 10:29 pm

Since getting kegs from Norman (cheers m8) and fitting taps to my fridge in the garage i'm now thinking about the most easiest way to dispense the beers. Yes the fridge is quite easy, but its raining cats and dogs and blowing a gale up here in Stirling and cant really be bothered having to go out and get soaked :)

So here is what i was thinking...........

My beer fridge is located in the garage and its attached to the house next to the kitchen so i could run beer line through to taps in the kitchen.

But here is the thing......i have 3m of 3/16th line and that is used in the beer fridge but what size should i use if its running to approx 5-6m would this size still be okay or should i use 3/8th?

Got the okay from the wife too ;)

I did a small bit of research on this to get the beer out of my chest freezer with all intentions of pumping beer up from the basement to the kitchen counter. It would have been tremendous! Until the wife killed the idea.
Good luck.

I have done a very similar thing and went with one of these:

It works perfectly. Next step is to get a through the counter beer engine, with a swan neck that comes up through the counter.....
