Forced Air System
I got my forced air system working a couple of days ago and everything was wonderful (1st keg- Smuttynose IPA) until the next morning when I checked the temp in the fridge. I have a super insulated 3 inch PVC pipe running 6.5 feet up through the floor of my kitchen ending at a double tap on the counter. I have a small blower in the fridge running through a small 1.25" hose to the taps. It really works well, beer is perfect from glass to glass EXCEPT the motor on the blower does put out some heat, raising the temp in the fridge. MikeF asked about this problem before on a different thread, and no one answered. Should I use a larger blower so it doesnt work as hard? It was a hypothetical question at that point, but now it is for real. Also, the insulation inside the tap tower itself could use to be replaced. It is very thin. Does anyone know of sheets of neoprene or some other insulation that can be cut up and put inside a tower? Thanks anyone/everyone...
