A curiosity turned obsession.
Hi,
I got lucky and got my hand on a used 5 taps glycol chilled professional beer tower for next to nothing. The cooper needs restoring and I would like to take it all apart and restore it to its former glory.
I was wondering if anyone knew of an online resource that could help me on taking it apart. I looked around and couldn’t find any. My guess is that because they are meant for bar use, they are installed and maintain by professionals that don’t need forums to guide their work…
Taking the copper pipes apart is easy, but the shanks have me puzzled. My kegerator shanks are held to the tower by a lock nut in the tower. This one is completely different and I have no idea how to do it. The backstop of the shank also holds the glycol copper line so it can't be turned to loosen anything.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks.
