So I got the big paycheck for working over fifty hours for two consecutive weeks. KEEZER TIME
So as i am about to place orders i figured why not run a few questions by the board.
1. What is better in your guys oppinions; Barbed fittings or MFL fittings?
I was thinking about the barbed. I have experience with those little bastard clamps and figured it would be easier than all that teflon tape, not to mention if and when i need to change out lines.
2. Regulators: All equipment is running me about $475. (Damn 20# CO2 tank. But we dont have any place near 20 minutes to fill a tank so i figure its worth it) I am getting most of my stuff from Northern Brewer. Their single regulator is $70.99. Brew gadgets has one for $47.99. Anyone know why there may be a price difference.
NORTHERN BREWER: Regulators and Gas Cylinders
Wine making supplies home brew beer supplies for the homebrewer
3. If i do go with the Barbed fittings: Northern Brewer only carries disconnects with 1/4 Fittings. I am using 3/16 Tubing, would i be able to soak the lines in hot water in order to make them fit the 1/4 barbed fittings?
Thanks for all your help. All i want to do is come home from a hard stressful day at work and drink my own cold draft beer. :rockin:
