So me and my roommate decided we wanted to have a few small parties this year. However college parties always have what....beer and jungle juice. Fair enough, we have a kegerator with beer on tap.
But the problem is in the jungle juice, its always in some make shift cooler or container where you just scoop out your beverage and keep on drinking.
I might be in college but I prefer to have a little more class than that. I still want to have fun but I don't want to "party like an animal"
So after a few days of brainstorming and a weekend of design/build. I have come up with this!
Went from this...
Using some of this...
To mock up this...
To build this!
For my bar!
The container that holds the juice sits upstairs (note the steps are right behind the bar). The bottom of the container sits around 9' above the end of the tap.
So .44 x 9' = 3.96 psi, considering most beer taps operate at 4-6 psi I am at tapping pressure, however I need to tweak it to try to slow it down some as you can see why here.

Just figured I'd share my little build, I think it came out pretty nice actually!
Next is my little modification for below the tap I am installing a simple system to chill the liquid before it is poured, for fresh chilled drinks!
I have a friend with a plotter printer who is going to use some beer/liquor logos as his test prints to get it up and running, that he is giving to me, so soon the walls wont be so bare, haha.
This is what taking engineering in college does to my brain!!
