Beer Tap

[chimpo]

Took a notion as you do a few weekends back and bought a ex pub beer tap :whistle:

I never thought mch bout it at the time and it wasnt till it arrived that, where to mount it sprang to mind and also was I going to have lines outside the fridge with warm beer so I decided to modify it to fit in the Top of the fridge.

First of was getting a flange and 1" Stainless BSP union , had these in my box of bits.
Once welded I welded some tube underneath and a nipple.
Then drilled a big hole in the top of the fridge :mrgreen:

screwed a big nut and flange on the inside and job done. still needs a bit of tidying but its now on top of the fridge in the garage and no external beer lines apart from inside the tap and the pipes insulated.
If I make a Keezer for the house at some point I can see this being my option.

Off for a well earned beer :grin:
