    Tap and beer line cleaning?

    Getting ready to get some beer pouring and I'm assuming tho lines and all are brand new I should do a sanitizing cycle of everything? I got alkaline and acid so I'd do the alkaline thru everything and then I guess spray the diluted star San I mixed into a spray bottle on the taps themselves to...

    Fan/circulating question

    The EVADry thing has beads that absorb but it's not like damprid where you have to dump the medium and put new in. When it's full, you plug it in to "Recharge" the beads but it needs no power when it's in use. From what I've read on the forum here it's pretty popular.

    Fan/circulating question

    Yep, I've got an EVADry ready to go in there but I figured to help keep the tower cooler I'd want more circulation, that's why I'm thinking a cheapo fan setup to start before I jump right to the bilge fan

    Fan/circulating question

    Hi all, Got most of the case/lid done and getting to the hardware going in. I may at some point go with the bilge blower idea for air circulation since I happen to have one sitting around but initially, I'm going to get a USB fan to mount inside the collar since I happen to have one on hand...

    Tap and beer line cleaning?

    I actually just watched this video which explains the process well and he talks about extended times for soaking but that recirc is always preferred. My plan is to go that route and either use the bilge pump I have on hand or grab a fish tank one. Likely grab a new one since I do sometimes use...

    Tap and beer line cleaning?

    Seems like there's some pretty mixed opinions on whether or not you need constant movement of the cleaner in the lines over a certain amount of time at a certain flow, vs filling them up and letting them sit with cleaner in them. Seems like non circulating would be "easiest" and since I'd have...

    Tap and beer line cleaning?

    Now that I think about it more, since I'm using all duotight on my Eva line, I could probably just pull the line from the ball lock and put a "jumper" duotight fitting on as needed for the 2 jumps in the freezer.

    Tap and beer line cleaning?

    I think where I'm confused is if I feed in thru tap 1 (left most) and out thru tap 4 and use a jumper on 2/3, how do things get connected on the keg side? So I can take off the couplers and I'll have ball locks on all those lines since I'm putting ball lock posts on sanke kegs. But something has...

    Tap and beer line cleaning?

    The faucets I have are the Perlick 630SS ones

    Tap and beer line cleaning?

    Huh I assumed all systems required the faucets to come off for cleaning anyway. Didn't even think there was an option to not do that.

    Tap and beer line cleaning?

    I don't (and won't) do home brewing so I won't have kegs to fill with stuff tho I'm wondering if it's worth it to get one or do those hand pumps I see on amazon or whatever work ok?

    Tap and beer line cleaning?

    Hi all, Building a 4 tap keezer here with black iron pipe "tower" on a hinged lid. I am wondering how people are cleaning their lines and how often? Each keg change at a minimum I assume. I'd like a way to make it as easy as possible (jumpers on the tap side perhaps to connect things?) but...

    Possibly a stupid question about line length for gas (and beer)

    Thanks for the info. And yes, 4mm EVA. I'll probably do my gas lines first and then split the remainder (if it's close to 30' left I expect it to me) 4 ways and start there. Like you guys said, can always go shorter.

    Possibly a stupid question about line length for gas (and beer)

    Hi there, Staining and poly is done so I'm getting ready to start installing hardware. I have a 39' EVA coil from Williams Brewing and planning for 4 taps all with duotight fittings. From what I've read here, seems like 5.5 - 7' is the preferred beer line length depending on serving temp (I'm...

    Does anyone by chance know the length of this duo tight fitting for shank?

    I'm possibly reassessing my shank situation and wondering if someone knows how much length this adds to the shank when fully seated to the end of the push in side? I'm in a black iron 2" tower and need to worry about the length. I have 1 7/8" shanks with barbs but would prefer not to use the...

    Collar question as it relates to hinged lid

    We were planning to do a split lid so we didn't have to wheel the thing away from the wall to fill it (4 tap with 2" black iron pipe, two legs, 2 elbows, 4 taps across so think inverted U) but the drink rinser/drip tray would have to sit just about right in the split so we're back to a one piece...

    should this nut and barb come off?

    Oof.. Long day at work and I should have proofread what I typed. But thank you, I'll give it a go tomorrow

    should this nut and barb come off?

    Hi all, Recently ordered 2 D couplers and an S coupler from micromatic. I thought the gas side nut should come off so I can swap from the barn to an MFL tailpiece. I didn't want to crank on it too hard with the wrench but it won't budge (I only tried 1 of 3). SHOULD the thing actually come off...

    Parts for build

    Yep, I used this link to look at the types of beers we drink and that's how I came up with the 2 D, an S and an A option to start. Just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something on that part so thanks for the confirmation...
