How to install a home bar

John 235

I am a big fan of home brewing and crafting beer but I would really like the thought of having a bar in my house, in the basement, for example.

How do I go about doing this?

I would preferably like to have a Guinness tap in this bar, how would I do this?

What materials would I need to install the bar?

Are there any other major requirements?

Thanks in advance lads.

What about the Guinness tap itself?

You need a cooler and gas etc.

Not worth the hassle unless youre an alco Tbh.
They gotta be used loads or they go rank.

Not exactly so. A mate of mine has a Guinness tap, cooler and gas in a bar in his house. It's used four, maybe five times a year and each time the Guinness is perfect. I'm not sure exactly how he looks after it but I do know that he cleans the lines out every time before putting on a new keg. Usually seven or eight of us chip and what's not used on the night is generally consumed the following weekend.

However, if what you mean is that tapping a keg and leaving it unfinished there for weeks, even months then, yes, it'll go rank.
