OK - so I can't really wait - gonna order this today... the towel I've been using on the floor keeps getting stuck in the door of the fridge when I close it - gets annoying after a few months...

Jmac thanks - nice find!

So strange you posted this. I emailed Hopdawgs yesterday about a drip tray. I'm looking for one that is around 30 inches long for my 6 taps. I could do 3 separate trays (3 dual taps), but would prefer one long tray as I think it would look better ... picture soon to come of the taps but pretty sweeeeeet.

On another note, i was warned that the foaming may be bad because I have approximately 2 feet of line coming from the freezer under the bar, to the beer taps on the bar, which are not insulated.
I can honestly say that I'm experiencing no foam on my first pour  :wavebeer: So very happy with the setup

How cheap is cheap enough?  (I just toured my brother's sheetmetal shop in Saint John, he could definitely make up a stainless drip tray; and being beer-related it does have a certain cachet and fun factor too!)
