That’s a lovely setup. I like the black taps 
Thanks! I’ll be honest though, the finish is pretty rubbish considering they’re nukataps. Very easily marked but I do like the lookThat’s a lovely setup. I like the black taps
Looks amazing! Looking forward to seeing the engine in place - how are you setting up to put co2 into the cask as you pull your pints? Demand line? What pressure? I'm been planning to get my engine going again. For now I'm lazy and just 'keg' in 2 litre and 5 litre water bottles and then pull straight from them with no co2 - I just plan drinking the beer in one go!

Thanks! I’m more excited for the beer engine I think
it’s going in the garage though so doesn’t need to be so aesthetically pleasing!!! I’m following the advice in this thread

I think the beer engine is difficult on a domestic scale, I've only just got mine after a very long search in NZ. They are super rare here but I got a steal
https://www.homebrewtalk.com/threads/beer-engine-strip-down-advice.691756/#post-9097474I do have a demand valve so I can draw from a pressurised keg ( I only have it at a low CO2 Vol) but like you if I'm going to just drink it I decant from the main keg into a small 5 litre keg and have that open to the atmosphere and just pull them and drink them in 48 hours. Or I do have some 5 litre " wine bags " that collapse as you serve from them, but they are quite gas permeable so don't really increase beer life.
The real challenge is the " true cask conditioning " and I have found some 2 gallon water tanks ( a bit like petrol cans) that have a low tap and high fill entry and I'm thinking of hacking one of these into a micro cask with a bung, shive and lower beer exit.
Quite a difficult game in comparison to a cold, hoppy, gassy NEIPA!
