Thanks for taking the time to make such a thorough video! Hope you're enjoying those wonderful nitro pours!

I just can't justify the nitro infuser for ~$600. I just use an infusion stone with nitrogen into a keg leg that I slowly ramp up to 30 PSI into the coffee. Works great for me.

Bought 2 kegerators from Keg Outlet. They both came with beer tubing which is 7/16" OD. Can't find any DuoTights which convert from 7/16 to 5/16, or even accept 7/16 for that matter. Seems I'd have to take apart the draft tower and put a duotight for 5/16" right on the shank. Thoughts? It's been a process!

Yeah there a duotight designed to go on to the shank: www.morebeer.com/products/duotight-pushin-fitting-65-mm-14-8-516-reducer.html It's definitely worth it once you get it all working, makes cleaning and maintenance much easier once you no longer have to deal with clamps, oversized tubing, and barbs.

@@twolfhart Yep! That's the one I was looking at. The only thing is, I have no idea how to take apart the draft tower to get to the shanks.

Ah, at top of the draft tower you can usually pop off a "lid" inside you will see the shanks, they require a wrench to loosen them, this will cause the shank to come out. On the bottom of the shank you might notice it is barbed, if this is the case you may need to replace it with the compatible one with the duotight, or you try it out.. I didn't have any issue connecting the duotight to the barbed end but it did make it really hard to take the duotight off after. So I guess that's up to you if you want to deal with that haha. The best tool for the job is this one here www.kegoutlet.com/deluxe-faucet-wrench-faucet-and-nut-wrench.html

@@twolfhart Got a couple of those from Keg Outlet. I can't figure out how to remove that cap without cutting myself or damaging the metal.

Just tried with a flathead on the stock tower and it came off pretty easy. The caps on the upgraded towers I got from KO don't seem so removable.
