looking for a creative value concept fora draft beer system for your hotel, bar or restaurant? in this video i'm going toshow you how to turn a standard, back bar cooler into a fashionable, draft beer system. coming up! hey, rick uzubell again from cabaretdesign group, where i share my personal ideas and tips on bar design, draught beersystem design and product reviews. later in this video, i'll give you 'today's takeaway.' if you're new here, please consider subscribing and check-out the show notes and links in the 'youtube description' below.
now let's jump into the show! some hotel, bar and restaurant owners have turned to kegerators as an alternative to a glycoldraught beer dispensing system. when it comes to kegerators, not much has changed over the years, but that's becoming a problem, inlight of the emergence of craft beer. although this style of bar equipment isreliable, it hasn't been good for commercial bar design, becausetraditional kegerators are 29 inches deep, which doesn't conform to the world of 24 inch under-bar equipment. the other problem
is that they don't havefashionable, multiple-faucet beer towers. not to worry, because i have an idea for you. consider the following design example of a hotel bar. although ibelieve glycol draft beer systems are the best investment of any draft beersystem, they sometimes don't prove to be the best, most cost-effective solutionsfor some existing hotels, bars and restaurants, due to limited locations forwalk-in coolers and therefore, extremely long trunk lines and many physicalobstacles. if you want to serve 8-to-10 varieties of craft beer and desireremote draft beer towers, but don't want
to invest in a glycol draft beer system,consider the alternative we used for this bar design. i turned to a little-known bar design secret, adapting a standard built-in back bar cooler. this type of cooler is 24 inches deep, can handle 8 brands of beer and is readily available. for this application, i used the following bar equipment: 1). a glastender lgt-8, 8- faucet beer tower and secondly, a glastender bb-84 back bar cooler
also needed are the tubing and regulators for connecting eight brands of beer, a co2 gas cylinder and mechanical blower, to complete the process, the same as any air-cooled draft beer system. to achieve this, some 4 inch schedule 40 pvc will be necessary to act as the beer shaft. you can have your own remote kegerator simply by calling glastender, perlick or beverage-air, for their local factory-approved installer.
it's very important to note that the draftbeer tower discussed in this example are (designed) for air-cooled systems. towers usedfor glycol systems simply will not work. see you next time!
