I have got the keezer up and running, right now its carbing the beer and has been doing so for two days, my question is about hooking up the tap. I got a shank with the kit I ordered from the beverage factory and it has a barb fitting on the end to hook up the line. But I really dont want to use a barb fitting, I would rather have the thread on type hose, which I did order and was installed on beer line they sent also. But I am afraid to cut off the bar in fear of it not sealing well, not to mention the little scratches holding bacteria. So my question is for those who have barbed fittings on thier shanks, do you just unclamp them every time you clean the lines? Just seems like a pain to do because eventually the hose would go bad from repetedly taking it on and off.
Anyway, its not a huge deal if I just have to deal with pulling them on and off, I just assumed that the shanks were always the tread on beer line type, and when I got and saw the barb fitting I just thought about what a pain it could be taking them on/off to clean all the time.
