    Pump for Glycol Cooler system.

    I dont really think the GPM is a huge factor - Anywhere above 5 should do just fine (i think) line size is 3/8 and it is a 16 foot run with a 6 ' vertical. Yes it is a two tower glycol system in my residence so it does not move huge volumes like a bar would.

    Pump for Glycol Cooler system.

    I purchased the Shurflo 8005-733-155 for my system but it is WAY to loud. 8000 Series Delivery Pumps it is in my basement and I can hear it in my living room. I wonder if it is a function of not having enough power to lift the coolant up 6 verical feet? Any one reccomend a pump that...

    Serving beer through 1/4" hose

    There is a drastic difference in the vinyl hose that most people use in kegerators and the Polyethylene Tubing that is used in the glycol systems. I am using the Polyethylene Tubing. By the way I spoke with a rep from micromatic and he said that (by blind luck on my part) I had the...

    Serving beer through 1/4" hose

    they dont sell it - This is the only hose they sell that carries two types of beer: Beer Line Hose - Trunk Line I guess i could pull out the 3/8 and put in the 3/16.

    Assembeling my Glycol Draft system

    Sorry if I am creating too many posts about this but I dont see why this is so hard for me. I started off thinking I was going to do an air cooled system but there were too many funky turns and I was not sure I could get the air circulation I need. So I bought the following glycol tower...

    Idiot of the year award - Frozen keg

    Yesterday I transfered a batch of beer to my corny keg and like an idiot I hoked it up to co2 and started cleaning up. After a few beers I "fell asleep" and left my keg on my back porch last night and this morning it was rock solid. I was planing on force carbonating the beer so there...

    Serving beer through 1/4" hose

    I have a bunch of 1/4" ID hose from micromatic. I know that most dispensing hose is 3/8. Could I use this 1/4" hose and just make a longer run? I would hate to throw it away.

    Remote Beer tower - How far is too far?
