We have a guys weekend coming up at the end of July, and I'm trying to figure out the best way to get two kegs of homebrew and serve chilled. I've settled on taking a two tap jockey box for the weekend. I could build my own, but honestly with what the coils cost as well as faucets, I'm likely going to buy one that is pre-built. Here's two questions.
1) Our "weekend" really spans from Wednesday to Sunday, so should I get a plate chiller or the coils?
2) My LHBS has a two-faucet jockey box for sale that is only $220, but the cooler is a 24 qt cooler. I'm thinking that I'm going to be messing with ice all weekend. Should I get the larger 48 qt coolers that are readily available online?
Any other thoughts on this? I can't see myself using this box but for a few times a year, so I don't want to break the bank. My kegerator set up is only two faucets, and my CO2 has a split dual regulator so I will just take all of this and leave the kegerator behind.
