The only beer I could ever get my wife to drink, and she couldn't get enough of it: Framboise https://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/187/599/

I plan to use a home water filter housing in between the FV and SK since I have it.

As long as you filter the hops from the brew kettle when transfering to the FV and use a hop sock with dry hops you should be good. Just no free floating hops in the fermenter.

Been there, done that. Had to remove the post and run a brush through the dip tube a couple times. I try not to forget my hop spiders and and hop bags now. If you're racking from a bucket to a keg's out post it's a good idea to put a filter on the end of the racking cane to keep the hops out of...

How has the method held up for you over the years, @passedpawn ?

Excuse me, boss. It's my thread, I'll decide what is or isn't relevant But in all seriousness I'm talking about 300 psi pressure spikes and plumbing this into the brew stand, and back flushing the cfc... seems relevant. I once busted a (defective) gh fitting during a back flushing cycle...

Dude, why are you arguing? So the movement and knocking in the linked video induced with a ball valve is not water hammering?

The pressure wave is what I'm referring to

The bit about water hammer was in regard to the discussion about bursting silicon hoses when plumbing into our systems. I've certainly experienced the "knocking" it in my system and it never really occurred to me what it was.

Thanks. I'll need something with garden hose fittings, the cfc has gh fittings installed. I'll poke around the hardware store and see what I can come up with.

This globe valve something you can pick up at home depot?

TIL the problem we're dealing with is called water hammer! ... randomly came across this today, thought I'd share:

What's worse for you: carbs or alcohol?

Fire's lit at 2AM, brisket on at 3. Nothing to do but browse hbt for the next 8 hours

Sorry if this is a little off topic but where does one buy those cornys without the rubber all over them?

I actually do have all four conductors at the moment. But I'm working on a mobile brew stand project, it just would have been more convenient if I could wire the pump sans neutral, don't really want to use the ground for that. It's no big deal.

Im in need of some fittings and misc misc stuff. I'm in frisco(ish), mind if I come by and see your stuff?

That's what I was afraid of. What precautions do you take? Is double checking that valves are open sufficient? Or must one open valves slowly too? That would make burst flushing the chiller difficult..

That is interesting. Get the deets, mike!

Ever bursted your silicon tubes with the hose pressure?
