So I bought a freezer and font

[2cranky]

Thank goodness for that!
I was starting to think I was unwittingly desecrating a shrine to the beer gods.

If I show it enough respect it should turn out like this:

Will the full font fit on the fridge?

If so could you split a line from a couple of the kegs and two taps run of one keg.

Then not only do you not risk anything - you dont have to walk all the way to the end of that great big fridge for you favorite brew - it can have a tap at each end.

Great idea but it doesn't fit. I could possibly fit 7 taps but the join would then be odd. And I can only fit 6 kegs in the freezer.

Hey Digger I think I'll keep the stout taps - 1 at least. I only have one spout and its a plastic one. The other 2 will take a screw in spout though.
What would you suggest as a more suitable font? I was originally going to go for two triple T posts. But they are hard to get at a good price.

I recon a few cobra fonts would look the part or the others in this pic. 3 for $250 and there not far from mine. Dunno where yiu are but could post though the business pritty cheap.

Just thinking it's a nice bit of kit but on closer inspection i think the taps are lockin types and all mine are snaplock.

Thinking food though.

Nah... They are all snaplok in the Gumtree image.

That is an absolute bargain as well.

 

[Digga]

I mean 2cranky's are lock in. I'm aware that the ones I posted are snaplock so cranky's taps won't suit my setup and the ones I posted cranky would need other taps.. doesn't work.

You may be able to unscrew the snaplock/lockin adaptors from the font and swap them over...

 

[2cranky]

Seems you can only get butt weld ferrules for triclamps. So all the 3" ferrules are OD 3" not ID 3".

Bloke I spoke to suggested some flared 3" stainless exhaust tube and just slip it on.
Maybe if I can polish it up enough it would look okay.

You would be able to interchange the 3/4" adaptors from the tee bar founts from the gumtree ad with the bridge fount. Not the cobra in the gumtree ad though. It is a different adaptor. Still snaplok, but different thread in the back section.

 

[2cranky]

yeah thanks
I think I've settled on the goal posts.

Sell the magnificent 10 tap set to someone that can use it as is and buy the setup you want. That way two people could be happy rather than heaps who don't believe you should be cutting it down.

Mate all due respect but I believe I own it.
If I want to fit it to my set up then that's my right to do so.
If someone wants to come up with a deal I cant refuse I'm willing to listen but giving me grief over it is out of order.

 

[malt junkie]

I had a freezer a few years back that fit 12 kegs and that font would have been glorious on top. Chestys are always popping up maybe watch out for something bigger. As you say it's yours to do with as you please. But be a little understanding when you slip on the pluddle of tears in the AHB foyer if you do cut it up. Obviously if you do decide to go with the biggest freezer on earth and 10 taps, we will all want to assist in it's christening, hell how ever many taps you end up with we want to help with the christening!

Your right, it is yours to do as you wish. ( didn't say it wasn't). Sorry for having an opinion and suggestion. It seems it has taken a lot comments/suggestions prior for me to give the grief that is "out of order".

Got this nice little sleeve made today.

 

[Pnutapper]

What is the material 2cranky?

 

[2cranky]

Hey Pnutapper,
Its just 3" stainless exhaust flared to fit a 3" pipe. It will polish up pretty good I think.

 

[Pnutapper]

Kewl!

I am watching this thread with great interest.

 

[2cranky]

Yeah Surgery might be this weekend. I've got a cool reciprocating saw I've been dying to use. :lol:
