Flooded font lines

[balconybrewer]

Hi all,

I am about to start constructing a new bar and have a flooded font to content with, what sort of lines (beer, silicone?) do most people use to circulate their cold water / glycol?

Cheers

The real question is are you going to buy a glycol or water system.. ..I use standard beer lines from Keg king.. however at the moment I am running a keezer with fans to pump up cold air.. Glycol in the future when I move house and have a bigger bar.

I use 12mm silicone, a small pond pump hooked up to a 20lt jerry that sits on the compressor hump.

Gotta keep that one in mind

20lt jerry would take up a lot of space, worth it bats?

I can fit 8 kegs without using the hump so it's no problem for me.

I have a run of about 4 metres from my fridge to the font on the bar. I have a half inch copper loop that runs from the fridge, up through the font and back to the fridge. Reservoir of 5 litres of glycol sits in the freezer and is pumped through a short length of silicon, through the door and then joins onto the copper circuit. Beer lines wrapped around/cable tied to it.

I was running water at fridge temps through the circuit but wasn't cutting it. Glycol at -15, even a small volume works great. Whatever you go with insulate heavily.
