I am at the point where I need to order tubing for my Brutis-like single tier brewery. Using keggles and two March pumps plus a plate chiller.
I am going with 1/2in ID and 3/4in OD semi-clear silicone. Probably ordering from Barginfittings.com as I need a few stainless pieces as well.
How many times did you re-use a hose in your average brew (i.e. HLT to MLT gets reused for BK to fermenter)? I am planning on having 5 hoses (in and out for each of 2 pumps plus an out from the plate chiller).
How much did you buy for your Brutus build?
I have purchased the quick disconnects (McMaster) and will use a bulkhead fitting at the bottom of each keggle and just laying the hose in the top for fills (no top bulkhead fitting). Like this:
I guess my real question is how much slack should I have in each line?
Thanks in advance.
