Hello, I am looking at my options and was hoping for equipment and material suggestions.
I have a small coffee station/espresso countertop area. I am looking to add a tap tower and also a tiny sink. I want to send my reverse osmosis water to a spigot as well. Could I just have a small sink bowl, like 12" or so, and the tap tower behind it, in lieu of a regular sink head? And have my RO water connected to one of the tap handles? Or should I integrate a small drinking faucet somewhere, I just feel like it will be in the way. I only have between 36" and 48" total for this countertop, The coffee station is going to take up 22" or so. and the sink 12". My wife would prefer it closer to 36" total, but 48" is the max that can fit the space. So anyway. I'd like it to go to one of the tap heads if possible. I don't know yet how many heads to have as that question for me has more to do with how long does the beer last? I don't want to drink more just because of pressure to keep cycling through beer. But I like the idea of having a fresh pale ale on from my favorite brewery. I also have a keg of bourbon county that I'd like to tap. And wouldn't mind space for a lager or something as well. So maybe 3 beers plus water. I love the idea of one of those Vienna draft beer towers but they are pricey. Micromatic and Perlick seem to have really good quality towers.
I don't really have space for a regular kegerator under this countertop. It's basically just going to be a sink cabinet with a countertop over it. So there's access to run pipes and stuff underneath. I want to run it down into the basement and have the kegerator/keezer down in the basement somewhere. I envision there will be about 25' of lines to get it to where I want it to be. I'm right at square one here so would love for any suggestions. I need the beer to stay under 40F at every stage all the way to the glass. Was also thinking one of the taps could be a czech side pull if I get a keg of pilsner. Does it need to be a pilsner or can I use a side pull with any lager?
