G'day gents, Bit of background. Built a new beer system at work. 6.5mm Lines running from the cooled kegroom (4.5°) through a wall and into a room at room temperature. Had huge problems with foaming and with the help of some learned lads on this forum diagnosed that it was the change...

6.5mm mate.

Hi gents, After some tweaking and a lot of cutting and joining I've moved the dispensing guns into the coolroom where the kegs and gas are stored as a temporary fix while I work out how I will go about insulating the lines running outside the room. It would seem as though you learned...

Also, this may seem a ridiculous question but what is the point of non-insulated beer tubing if even tiny runs have to be insulated? Is it only used in situations where the filling is done at room temp or wholly within the kegroom? I'm a bit confused I must say haha

From the photos, does anybody have any ideas as to how I could insulate the tubing considering its length and route? If not, is insulated tubing expensive compared with regular tubing? As I said, I can't afford a glycol system so if I were to run insulated tubing do you think it would hold the...

No they aren't insulated. I didn't think a run this short would require it. I still feels quite cold to the touch in the tubing. Is insulation really necessary on such a short run. I can't really afford a glycol system of the like :(

G'day mate, I've tried running it at anywhere between 70kpa (10ish PSI) to 180kpa (26ish PSI). Still think that's too high? Will pressure rate below 70kpa be able to push around corners and up the vertical? Cheers

Gents, I've installed a new beer system at work with two counter pressure filling guns to dispense the beer. Pics are attached. Everything is good to go but I have been testing it and all I am getting through either gun is pure foam. The beer kegs and gas cylinder are situated in a cool...

No takers? :confused:

Hi gents. I've built and installed a new customised Growler filling set up at work. It is a two-line system running from a single Co2 cylinder which uses two counter pressure filling guns to fill the bottles. The taps have a both a gas and beer line inlet. I have a dedicated beer line for...

PS This is my regulator/Co2 set up. I'm having a particularly bad freezing and shaking needle problem with it today as well. Keep getting heaps/constant blow off through that safety outlet escape hole on the side there too. Any pointers? Nothing to do with temperature etc. has changed.

Hi gents, I'm in the process of finishing up installing a new Craft Beer Growler system for work. It will consist of glass Growler bottles being Counter Pressure filled with stainless steel dispenser guns via lines running from the cool room containing pressurised kegs and the Co2 with...

Sorry gents, just wondering if somebody could clarify for me if the tubing is food grade. It will be used in a commercial capacity so I need to make sure I won't be poisoning customers or having a plastic-y taste imparted on the beer. Cheers

Thanks brother. Just to double check. Definitely safe for food grade?

Hi gents and gentettes! Was wondering if one of you learned fellows might be able to give some advice. I am installing a new custom growler set up at work and as such there are a few non-conventional things to workshop along the way. I have set up all the gas and beer lines from my keg...

:ban::tank: Thanks mate! Appreciate all the help from both yourself and the others in this thread :)

Hi gents, So after racking off the first batch into a demi-john for secondary for 8-9 or so days, I bottled today. I tasted it before bottling today and have to admit that although it wasn't completely underwhelming, there was very little sweetness and a touch of bitterness/astringency to...

What would you blokes estimate the timeframe to be after bottling for carbing? As in, when they are at that optimum level before they pop/over carb as I will refrigerate before that point! I'll be bottle priming with dextrose. I know this probably isn't an exact science due to differences in...

Haha can't say I'm that resourceful!

Quick question for you wonderful people, when I bottle and prime for bottle carbonation, how much room do I want to leave in the neck? As in, when do I want to stop filling to take into account CO2 headspace etc. Also, how will I know when carbonation has adequately occurred? Like I said in...
