Yeah....has to adjust to humidity and temp. Should be fine until your a/c guy finishes HIS work...then, your floor will buckle

Lol. I have a crappy window unit going right now but the fluctuations are huge. Every time I open the garage door humidity goes from 40 to 80. New unit will be a 2 ton mini split.

It sounds like things are moving along quickly. You weren't kidding about getting it done as soon as you sold the Road Runner. Your are going to have room for LOTS of mead soon. You are going to need to buy your honey by the bucket full. :D
 
Haha. Not quickly enough! I wanted to have that floor in uh today but that's Ok. One more day won't kill me. Electrician will be putting in a sub-panel for all the power and some fancy isolated power for the tunes. Very important! Lol.

Ok! The Micro Matic model 4301 arrived last night. Here is the glycol unit:

And the tap tower:

One of them is a nitrogen tap for Guinness.

Here is the medusa of tubes and regulators I will have to figure out:

Cost for this pro kegging system is about 12 thousand dollars. My cost was about a buck's worth of gasoline to go get it from the restaurant THAT WAS THROWING IT AWAY in favor of a new unit. Total amount if time the thing was operating? 1 month.

Fortuna wants the TARDIS to have lots of mead on tap.

It's probably a Cyberman in disguise. That's allright though, I'll take another Cybermead my good man!

That's just amazing! $12,000? Even if it was $1,000 it would be stunning

Among other things, it has a gas blender for perfect carbonation with every pour! That's the black box that says "Micro Matic" on it on top of all the tubing. That thing alone is almost a thousand bucks and the tap tower is like 1200!

Of course, if any of it turns out to be broken, well that will also be grudgingly reported.

I think all the tubes and chrome and dials will be set up just like, you guessed it, the TARDIS!!! Lol. It has high pressure tubing that's red and blue and yellow as well as clear. Tanks hoses dials tubes plexiglass and metal should be able to go together like the center console!

Don't be jealous yet. It may still be just a good looking pile of junk. OR so expensive to set up that it won't make sense.

Hahaha. Your mead is the only thing that matters. What good is a bunch of tubes and faucets without lots of good mead?? Besides, it's only so I can get ready for you, fatbloke and several others to show up! Because what good will it do to have good mead, a tap and a bar with no one to share it with???

Well, maybe the a/c guy that gave you the tip knows someone....or the people that installed it.....or de-installed it

Yes indeed! It was the A/C guy himself. He told me he would give me a hand setting it up. This guy is getting a big tip! (or I'm going to buy his 1958 Oldsmobile 4 door hardtop..it's sweeeeeet)
