DIY Randall--confused

[Brewtopia]

You may very well be a genius! I'm going to try this when I get home.

*Boy will I feel stupid if that was the problem all along*

sorry to resurrect an old thread...

 

[SilverKing]

any ideas on where to find those? ^^^

Would this work? Its 90 degrees and brass, but may be cheaper if you need a few. I'm thinking about it:

Edit: I bought two last night at my local Ace Hardware. Part # 41164. 1/4" Flare to 1/4" MPT. It was $2.79/each where I got them, sure beats buying them online with shipping. Here is the link, I couldn't search their web site by part number for some reason - had to use google.

Sorry to resurrect this thread again and in advance for my ignorance. But, why and when would you need to "balance" the pressure with the pressure relief on this thing?

Great information in this tread. Even years later. Cannot wait to try experimenting with this in my setup.

at our febrary meeting we randall'd the pliney...mmmmm

i have no real proof for the following statement but i have heard that the higher the alcohol content of said beer the higher the hop goodness extraction.

Hop resin (lupulin) is not water soluable, which is why we boil wort. It is, however, alcohol soluable. So yes, you ARE correct!

While this thread is currently resurrected I have a question.

Is it okay to use brass fittings for a randall?

Most micromatic faucets and shanks are chrome plated brass...

 

[Schnitzengiggle]

Right, but the chrome is the barrier between any metal leaching, and corrosion, so I am speaking of plain brass fittings.

 

[wyzazz]

I don't believe the insides of faucets are coated, at least none of the faucets I have are coated. And the inner mechanisms are plain brass, I take them apart every other keg to clean them. I wouldn't worry too much...

A simple solution for the 10" filter replacement.
Unravel a rope type filter.
This is the perfect size tube to replace the filter.
The tube has holes that are too big, so just shove a stainless scrubby inside
the tube.
You will left with a big ball of string to use for whatever you want.

I'd be concerned about keeping that scrubby clean between sessions. You could replace it with a new one though.
I've read elsewhere that a Sankey spear is the right size tube. I'm going to try that.
