    Looking at getting a pin cask and pouring cask beer at events.

    I’m in South Florida, it’s hot, all the time.

    Was wondering if anyone knew of a blanket-type recirculation pad that could recirc ice water to keep cask cool.

    Could do submersible pump, pump ice water from cooler through pad, return line back to cooler.

    Any thoughts?

    http://www.paragonmed.com/warmsys.shtml food for thought, reusable pads might do the trick, other option is to just wrap plastic tubing around it and place a blanket over it. With trial and error you could determine how many wraps you would need to achieve the desired holding temp.

    Nice! That tubing idea is a good one, tubing with recirc covered by cooling jacket to keep temp in.

    Cask jacket and 2 or 3 ice blankets should work great! I have a neoprene corny keg jacket with an ice blanket. Poured it last summer during 4th of July. Temp was in the mid 90s and the keg was in direct sunlight. Stayed cool for about 6 hours, then kicked.
