Hi, thought i'd share a little project i did last week.
I wanted some cold air in my font to stop the first beer being poured from being all head, so i figured a little exhaust fan to grab the cold air from under the element and blow it up some tube, into the font hole under the wooden bar. I had 240v power source so i got a computer fan from jaycar and built a box from plywood that i had lying around. I need some 25mm conduit for my herms i'm building and used that for my ducting. A 240v illuminating switch and hey presto.
Maintains between 4-6 degrees at the very top of the font, i could probably get it colder if i had the conduit running right up the top but my hole is a little small so its just wedged in there at the moment., if its humid it get condensation on the outside if you're into that. All i know is that after having in on for an hour or so, the first beers are pouring perfectly. Probably overkill but i like to tinker.
