What do i need for serving?

bramswell · Mar 24, 2009

Hi crafty brewers

i dont have the luxury of cornies yet and was wondering what i need to serve my beer from taps? i was thinking of building a board with dalex tap fitted

i have a plastic keg and a beer chiller and a flojet pump

can i have a pipe from the keg, gas up (s30 fitted) and just run it through the chiller to another tap or will i have to use the flojet pump? and would i put this before the chiller.

i would rather not use the pump as i was hoping to build a HERMS and use it for that

or would it be best to buy a beer engine and draw it through the chiller from the keg

Personally i'd go the beer engine / cooler route :thumb:

would i need to buy anything else like a check valve and is it ok to keep the keg gassed or do i need a breather?

My set up at the moment is as follows (but I use cornies):

c02 cylinder -- cask breather -- cornie gas in

cornie beer out -- check valve -- beer engine -- mouth -- belly -- toilet

That's the only bar where I'd prefer a warm one...
