remot draw

[jelway]

I currently have a regular single tower store bought draft beer system. I've placed it under my step and have attempted to build a cooling sytem to allow me to place my taps approx six feet away. it follows the same general idea that micro matic advertises. I can only seem to drop the temp down to 55 degrees from 75. I have a remote temp. probe in the cooled area. I know that the unit may not be strong enough but it doesn't run all the time. I have a blower but the price to purchase the plumbing is a little to expensive for me. Any advise?????

Need more info. What kind of a tower. "Under your step" is a little confusing. Not certain as to what type of a cooling system you are building. Micro Matic advertises several types of systems. Please advise.

It was a standard kegerator with a three inch tower. I removed the tower and made a home version of your remote draw system that you advertise on your web site. I utilize a blower and the air returns back to the unit, so it's a close system. I can elaborate more but I'm not sure how much I'm allowed to write.

Be aware that a kegerator's refrigeration is normally sized to maintain a certain cubic foot area. If you add to this, such as conduit, you may be overloading the unit and it will not perform correctly.

Write as much info about your system as possible. Send pictures.
