    RO water setup storage

    I'm thinking about getting a small reverse osmosis setup for brewing water only. Would I just store it wet and flush for a couple of minutes between uses? I would only use it 1-2 times per month. Or would this infrequent usage cause problems with the unit. I'm thinking about something...

    Brewers Hardware vs. Stout conical questions

    Thermoplastic tubes and hose barbs

    I'm going to use stainless steel 1/2 inch hose barbs in my set up with a plate chiller and march pump. Will thermoplastic hose easily slide on and off the barb for set up and take down? Would silicone be easier? I'm planning on hose clamps for tight connections. Thanks.
