HI Topgun....I ordered the liquid filled one from this site earlier tonight...so should have it in a day or two...but I tried filling a freezer mug, then immediately filling a stein, and the stein didn;t foam out, in fact, it was a 'little' lacking in foam,,,wchis explains why I'm not seeing a lot of bubbles in the beer (coming up from the bottom like you woukd expect)...I see 'some' but not a lot...so I'm probably a little flat becasue of the underchilling of the beer...and obviously, the tower is allowing the beer line to go warm...So I'm going to adjust the temp exa tly when I get the thermo, and in the mean time, I've upped the pressure a pound or two..can beer be recarbonated?
I'm thinking I'll get it dialed in pretty well by the next keg...of course that will be at 4000' higher alt than I am now, so I'll probably have to do some more tinkering..In the mean time, I'm mulling over in my head, some methods to keep the line cool in the tower....I'm thinking I may set up a little low voltage aquarium pump to pump cold water through a copper or aluminum line coiled around the line in the beer tower...Maye have it sitting in a couple gallons of water in a container in the fridge with the keg....If that isn't good enough, then maybe add a little condenser coil (like for a tranny cooler), in line with the cooling coil, and a low voltage computer fan to push refridgerated air through it....
Ahhhh... the lengths we go to for the perfect beer!
