Homemade Two Tap Tower

[atimmerman88]

I'm going to be making my own 2 tap tower for a freezer I'm acquiring.

Just curious if there is any reason I can use an elbow like shown in the pic on the back of my shanks?

Didn't know if it would increase foam production or anything

I wouldn't use a brass fitting with beer...

Cheers!

Sorry...should have clarified Ill be buying stainless elbows or plastic ones, only have brass now for mocking up

You might get some issues from the sharp bend - but I wouldn't expect it since poeple put expoxy mixers in their dip tubes and don't have issues
FYI you can get standard 90° hose tails (if you have the room for them) http://www.farmhousebrewingsupply.com/stainless-tail-piece-1-4-90-degree-bend/

Thanks for the info! It looks pretty big so idk if it'll work. I've got a 1.5" ID aluminum tube I'll be using as the tower so hopefully I can fit 2 lines

Question for those machinists out there...


From all I can tell shanks are 7/8"-14 thread

I can thread the jam nut from my shank on the tap, but I made this



And it won't fit on my shank

Any advice ?
