Yes, even if I leave it at a consistent level of 10 psi, after the initial burst, for a week I get the same result. It's almost as if the C02 is solid for a few beers but then it falls off.

I have recently noticed after carbonating my beer in kegs I can pull two, maybe three, nicely carbonated beers. After that, I see a nice head on the beer but the carbonation levels and bubbles on the tongue seems flat. My carbonating process usually consists of pushing C02 at 30 psi for 3 or...

No, I actually went back to the small hoses and quick disconnects as they worked better than the larger ones. My last several brewing sessions have gone much more smoothly. I was getting close to going back to the good ol' cooler and kettle setup. All seems to be good now though so I'm...

The larger size of tubing and barbs didn't make a difference. They sent me another at no charge, which was really generous considering I bought it last summer. I hope to try it out this weekend.

If a 1/2" barb reduces the ID to 3/8, would a 5/8 reduce to 1/2? I guess my question is would increasing my hose ID to 5/8 be ok for the input/suction side on this pump or would it be too big?

I guess it's possible but I have clamps on and tightened down. I thought I was going to have to cut the hose to get it off the barbs.

Thanks guys. I'm going to try removing the QD's and barbs and see if that helps. If it works I'll replace my QD's with cam locks.

I thought it might be air getting caught in the dip tube so I took it off but still had the same problem. It seems to only happen when the temps go over 160.

Thanks guys! Sam, in that thread it says that the sugars can cause this. This particular pump is used between my HLT and MLT and only moves water.

So, I have two chugger pumps and both worked very well up until a couple of weeks ago when one started locking up. By locking up, I mean the impellor will just freeze after about 20 minutes. The motor still runs but the pump quits. Mike at chugger says it's because I need full port 1/2 ID...

yeah, Michael is really awesome. He really goes out of his way to make sure an issues is corrected. I had an issue with my first pumps and he replaced them no questions asked.

Your entire setup is completely awesome!!! Not to mention how neatly assembled the control panel is (some of my wiring looks like spaghetti).

either that or darker stones. Just a thought.

a darker grout, if that is a possibility, would probably work with the pattern with the darker stones.
