Goal is cycling cleaning liquids through corny posts ...
Recently acquired Gile House pump mostly for cleaning corny tubes by cycling hot rinse water and then Star San solution - out through liquid post, back in through gas post. Pump has 1/2” NPT male fittings. The interiors of my kegs are quickly cleaned with PBW and I do all my beverage transfers with gravity siphons so no familiarity with beverage pumps.
Kindly looking for suggestions on how to make the connection from the pump to a typical brewing swivel connector (aren’t they mostly 1/4” MLF?), with obvious final goal being connection to ball-lock QD.
This kit was recommended, and if so, how might one make the final connection to a QD?
One simple preference is that lines are quickly removable from pump for tidy storage without dealing with permanently attached octopus tentacle lines, however thoroughly open to suggestions. Thanks for any thoughts - what works for you? - feedback highly appreciated -
