I have one quick question for you. Since you're using the stainless steel table now, how did you mount the chiller and the pumps to the new brew stand?

So much for my normal attention to detail. I see you thought of everything and included it in the text. Thanks for the quick reply, I'll try and read closer next time!

No worries! There's a lot of text there and it's completely normal for skim and look at pictures mostly. I should probably throw a picture up to make it more obvious as you're definitely not the first one to ask. Cheers!

Hey Kal, I have a question about the Micromatic Stout Faucet. Their website says to not pull the faucet more than 45 degrees. Is that how you pour? Do you need to do a push back on the faucet at all at the end of your pour? With this 45 degree limitation, do you find that you can be the only one to pour form the faucet for fear of damaging the diaphragm? I suppose I could have called Micromatic with these questions, but wanted to go to you as a trusted and knowledgeable source

I'm really not sure why the 45 degree limit exists. I've sometimes pulled all the way (and locked it) and sometimes not (where you have to hold it). Works both ways. I believe I used it for years pulling all the way, and then someone mentioned you weren't supposed to so now I try not to. You don't have to push back, at least I don't.

That's an interesting thing for them to say... I feel like every time I get something on nitro in a bar, they are pouring it with the handle at 90 degrees - forget about 45!

Hi Kal,
I've looked at your build many times, and this might be in the 26 pages of the build, but could you specify or point me in the direction of the dimensions of the brewery by itself as well as the bar area? Also bathroom dimensions would be helpful if it's not too much trouble.

Hi!
Brewery's approximately 13x11', bar's approximately 13x10', and the bathroom's widest widths (including 5x7' sauna) is approximately 12x12'.

Kal, what do you have on tap now, and any plans for 2020?
On tap right now are the items listed under my user name (to the left). Got a Kolsch that's going to go on tap soon, after that some hop experimentation using my Electric Hop Candy Jr as the base. Cheers!
