DIY flooded font

[rockeye84]

Just thought I would share some pic of my diy flooded font project. Made out of pc water cooling gear and a few bits & pieces from Bunnings.

Love it

Funny though, when the mechanics of life are exposed, they appear somewhat lesser to the anticipated.....

A beer font looks awesome, but when you know how it works, you realize the beer isn't magically cooled....

Very cool, rockeye. Looks like you've got an (ethylene) glycol mix as the coolant? I've heard that the over time beer line might be permeable enough to allow contamination, hence why food grade propylene glycol is normally used instead. Do you even need any kind of antifreeze in there? Your keg fridge isn't going to be sub-0, right?

It's just a enviro safe green corrosion inhibitor that doesn't contain glycol. Just to stop the inside of my font rusting. But cheers 4 the heads up anyway.

What was the size of the pvc stopper you used?
