That is badass! Another thing I didn't know existed. Think I like this solution the best

I'm pretty crazy on the LODO stuff so my beers last for many months YMMV depending on your practice for purging closed transfers etc. There's a ton of OCD type stuff I have implemented on the cold side to mitigate O2 ingress. Closed transfers of purged kegs with naturally carbonating kegs...

You don't need super long lines with the 4mm because they have a lot of resistance. Line length will depend on serving pressure and carbonation volume of the particular beer. 2 feet seems a little short. But test out different lengths and see what works. I'm an advocate of fully...

Yeah it is the best option IMO for both liquid & gas due to oxygen barrier. For the liquid side you generally want to use the 4mm ID unless your lines are ridiculously long. For gas the ID doesn't really matter. You can use the 4mm ID for both to keep it simple. I do like using the larger ID...

That's slick! Didn't know it existed Brewhardware.com rocks!

Nice! Didn't realize you could jam that larger tubing on there! Good stuff!

another option would be to convert the ports on you your manifolds to duotight push fit connectors. You should be OK disconnecting the push fit connectors from the tubing if doing this occasionally. The EVA barrier tubing is the way to go IMO to prevent oxidation. If your regulator &...

I use something similar on my glycol chiller tubing, never considered using them for gas. Love it! Although, don't think it would work with duotight / pushfit

Nowadays, I almost never have my tank connected in the keezer. I prime all my kegs with sugar and disconnect CO2 between servings. Keeps the exposure to O2 down. Anytime a keg is connected (liquid or gas) there is oxygen ingress. I'm not a daily drinker though. If you are getting schwilled...

My vote would be to just buy a second CO2 tank and regulator if you plan on always having a tank connected inside the keezer. If you really want to use the single tank, one simple (non elegant) solution if you wanted to make a ball like post connection to a peice of tubing would be to purchase...

Now we're looking forward to seeing your work! Hopefully it's as good as your pint pics!

"Dank Schwilly Stix" latest homebrew Wheat IPA with Kaffir lime leaf, motueka hops, centennial cryo, and other spices

this is exactly what I do on all my beers, figure after 3 days of active fermentation (or ~60% attenuation - assuming 75-80% when its finished) the esters, phenols, and bad stuff like fusels has had its chance to form. Just bump it up to finish fermentation at this point. If you don't have an...

try argon instead

what's the O2 barrier like on Loc Line. It's rated to 170, so might be OK for mashing, just not boiling.

I don't think anything you are sanitizing with iodine needs to go on the counter 😉

OK, done hijacking the thread

Ended up grabbing WLP 838, they didn't have the 920 in stock All of my starters are usually done in 12 to 18 hours on a stirplate when I let em go at room temp. Today is the first time in I've ever had one that slow Plan is to make 3 Liter starter when I'm home let it go until tomorrow...

Gonna go with the 920, I'll report back!

Great feedback thank you! Since I'm planning to brew a malty fall lager on Sunday this one is out of the question Any experience on WLP 920? This one seems promising from the description https://www.whitelabs.com/yeast-single?id=232&style_type=2&type=YEAST ------------------- Old Bavarian...
