Hi Beermati, I think you may be over-thinking this. The copper is used as a radiator to conduct heat away from the beer lines down into the cold box, where it is dissipated just like any other heat (eg from a room-temp keg). You don't need the copper to go all the way to the end, you don't need...

Well, I'm proud of myself -- that's exactly what I thought it was! Another GREAT idea -- I was thinking of using 1/4" melamine board, which is a PITA to work with. This will be much better.

MMMB, what did you use to line the interior of your cold box?

TH, Very, very nice job. I am plannig to do the same thing with flashing so the door seal will work. I had not thought of usig magnetic strip to hold the fridge to the box though; very ingenious! Have you tried taking the temp down to beer dispensing levels yet? And any update on the...

Hi, I'm new to the forum, which is a WEALTH of useful information. I've been brewing a long time but only recently kegging, and now I'm building a bar at my ski house (www.snoplace.com). My question is about using a Danby mini fridge (I believe it's the same as what they use to make their...

I think the pipe he used for the tower is actually ABS. Ingenious use of an upside-down toilet flange to mount it!
