Direct draw beer refrigeration/dispenser

by Eric Hall » Sun Mar 04, 2012 9:45 pm

I am looking for a local place/person that sells, services and modifies these units.

I want to modify the normal two tap setup and make it a 6 or 8 tap system.

Thanks in advance

my email is pnmliquorsetown@gmail.com

Drinkswell does this work. How many full size kegs will it hold?

Not a local company but a local location.
AB on Produce Lane has these units and can modify your 2 tap tower into a 4 or 6 tap.
But like David asked it depends on what size kegs you are using ?...1/4, torpedo...etc..

A fine beer may be judged with only one sip, but it's better to be thoroughly sure.

My beer hat is a bit dusty, but there is an incredible guy that has worked on most of the taps in louisville. Of course, I can picture his face -- brown hair w/ beard, and drove a pt cruiser for a while--- but can not remember name to look up contact info.. He put in the lines for O'shea's, helped browning's tremendously,,,,, help me out here guys, has 2 really nice kids,,,,, I'm sure jeremy markle or the bbc guys know who I am desperately trying think of his name.... When the sun comes up my memory may come back..

That would be Ed Bullen, owner of Drinkswell. I met Ed through Brian Reymiller.

The coolers can hold 4 half barrel kegs. Would be using mostly 1/4 and 1/6 barrels with a few full half barrels thrown in.

They have two poles with one tap each. I think having 3 on each pole is reasonable.

I will be calling a few of these places today. Thanks for the info.

The first place to start is your beer distributor. They will give you the best deal.
