    Check It Out: Kegerator Rebuild & Upgrade

    1.) I think you're probably right. The second is very likely not required. The tower fan I purchased isn't the most powerful thing so I felt having the other fan would help keep air moving and temps more constant. My theory: The more the air circulated, the more even the temp would be throughout...

    Cooling: I decided to go with both. Running the line through copper tubing, alongside a thick tower fan. Plenty of room for return flow. PVC piping is capped off and I cut a hole in the cap to run part of the shank in. The shank has a chill to it, but I wouldn't say it's cold. I'm thinking that...

    Hooked everything up inside: PVC Hole: Used a dremel to carefully saw out a 1.5 inch circle on the top, dig out insulation, and saw a 1.3 inch hole in the interior plastic. Dropped in a 1.5 inch PVC pipe connector, and secured it with hot glue from bottom sides, and edge seal. (This will allow...

    Securing copper pipe to tower

    Anybody have additional ideas on this? I'm looking to have the copper tube run through a 1.5 inch PVC pipe (will be insulated on the outside) so I can also utilize a draft tower fan for tower cooking + kegerator air circulation. Since I'm trying to blow air through as well, the friction fit...
