+1 on the perlicks... you cannot go wrong with them... they JUST WORK... and they work forever.

FYI plan right now is... setup solenoid valves to turn existing fully functional perlicks on and off. I will put some effort into designing a proper valve / faucet system but that could be a little ways off.

yeah looking at removing the valve from a perlick faucet i think. but i need to figure out how to find a cap / bonnet to seal it. anyone know the threading size on a perlick bonnet?

I mean in terms of function sure, in terms of form it would look terrible.

I am now seriously considering attempting to cast my own faucets.

basically i am planning on placing the valves BEHIND the shank in my kegerator. so I'd just want faucets that are full open all the time. no tap handle... just a faucet without a tap at all.

I love the classics, and that is one beautiful old fridge.

So this may sound strange, but what I am looking for is a beer faucet, that has no valve in it. no tap handle. Just a straight pass through. The reason being I want to use some solenoid valves ( I have already built a working mockup ) for something. I don't even know what to look for to...

from my experience... think about how much you homebrew and how much your beer disappears. When I had 2 kegs max on my fridge I thought it would be a small amount... turns out my beer goes quick enough I rarely have both kegs populated at the same time. Also with co2 ran outside I got 3 kegs...

atm no. i'd need to put something together... i just have the x3g at this point. I can tell you this is a remix of two thingiverse files. http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:31395 <--- the pumpkin itself. http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:141354 <--- threaded tap handle. the trick...

just some halloween fun. 3d printed some pumpkin tap handles.

I desire to enter this contest. Please consider this post my entry.

NYC Resistor chiming in. I brew at http://www.nycresistor.com/ with friends. I'm not opposed to inviting you by sometime when we brew. =) privmsg me an email and I'll loop you into our little brewing gang. I think there's also a homebrewers meetup at burp castle once a month.

It's got a decent void percentage.. but i didn't want to go too high on the glow in the dark one as it's partially transparent.
