Homemade Beer Engine

Homemade Beer Engine

I built a simple Beer Engine last week so I could dispense beer at the Yard City Cask Festival.  I followed the basic procedure from Brew Your Own and it's essentially an 8" x 8" box made of plywood with a hole in the top for the RV rocket pump and tubing connecting to your keg.  At the last minute I ended up making the sprayer and I think it made a big difference.  The "cask conditioned" beer has a low level of natural carbonation and the sprayer helped aerate the beer a bit and form a nice head, which was good for my IPA aromas.  Pics of the actual festival to follow soon!!
