Jockey Box coil

Post by Keith » Thu Oct 10, 2013 9:44 pm

Hey Dave,
You planning on stocking Jockey Box coils and fittings? Or is this something you could source? Just wondering a price. Hoping to have one built out for next summer. I think it will be interesting to tell the wife hahaha.

Thanks again for the great service. I'll probably see you again in the next couple weeks.

Hey Keith,

Can currently have no plans to bring in Jockey box coils, but I can look into it. Thanks

I have made some 20 ft 1/4" OD coils. Interested?

20' would be great for a prechilled keg, however I'm buildign this out to take a weekend punishment. Not sure 20' will keep the beer cold enough with 4-5 guys pouring off it.

What's your experience with warm kegs and the 20' length?

Never used warm kegs. In fact, I've never seen anybody do that.

Also, the tubing I am using is 1/4", not 3/8" as most commercial coils are.

Yea preferably I don't want to use warm kegs, however out for a camping trip the luxury of chilling before hand goes away after the first night :(.

Let me see what I can find. I'm interested if they will serve chilled on the camp trip.

Shipping isn't cheap but I used stainlessbrewing.com for my HERMS coil, great guy and will pretty much do anything custom you want.

I was going to do a jockey box too, but now instead I want to do what some HBT guys have done. 2 mini kegs (2.5gal) in a cooler with shanks through the side and paintball Co2. Fully self contained and very portable.

That's a great idea. Bonus tho. No cleaning bottles.
