I've had my kegerator for years (on my second one) using picnic taps to dispense my homebrew. I decided to use picnic taps since I don't drink beer everyday and I felt that this way everything is kept cold and clean including the taps and the lines.
However, I've had two occasions now where guests would dispense beer and leave the picnic tap on top of the keg. Closing the top cover would pinch open the tap and all my homebrew would fill the bottom of the kegerator. It just happened last night. CRYING! All my American Wheat wasted--almost completely full!
Anyway, I'm thinking of adding a beer tower to avoid this situation from happening again. Are there beer towers that are kept cold inside the tower? Are the taps and trapped beer kept cold?
I have 4 kegs. Should I use a 4-faucet tower or two 2-faucet towers?
Is the Perlick 630SS faucet the way to go?
Another thought is to build a low wood collar around the top of the freezer and place the taps on the front of it. Thoughts?
Thanks!
