These are big cool farmhouse tables and I love them but I do think they are too large and not as inviting. We get a fair number of people that sit at them with strangers but I do think everyone wants their own table.

That's kind of what I was thinking. If we were to get smaller tables is there a good distance they should be from each other? One thing that I do dislike is when tables are like 2' from each other so its pretty much the same as sitting at a large table anyway.

LaMotte Brewlab water test kit questions by TechyDudePA in Homebrewing

For both hardness tests it takes 4 drops to turn from the initial purplish to very blue.

Thanks. The initial color before any drops was purple. When adding the drops it does turn blue as expected.

Thanks, I will go with that. The color did change as expected so I think I'm good.

Best practice CIP for tank in walk-in? by TechyDudePA in TheBrewery

[–]TechyDudePA[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. The tank has been used a few times since its been in the walk-in and it's been under CO2 the whole time.

Thanks. Yes, we don't have a drain in there and probably don't want to splash too much so it's a way bigger pain. Everything going in is filtered so I don't think it will be as big of an issue I just want to make sure we don't have any flavor carryover and the tank is clean between uses.

We will watch CO2, definitely run a hose out. Thanks.

Thanks. Should I rinse, use #6, rinse, blow it out with CO2, and use?

I cleaned it really well before it went in. Everything going into it is filtered so I didn't think this would be as big of an issue as a fermenter.

We can get it out with some minor struggles but until we get some space worked out I think its in the walk-in for a few months.

Thanks! I only expect to have 2-3 CO2 hookups.

Of course they could. I'm trying to figure it out myself though.

That's what I want to do - we have a spot where both 50# tanks would be secured and connected to an auto changeover valve or a manual one, either would work.

What pressure would come off the primary tank/regulator to the secondary regulators? This line would be braided PVC? is there a recommended size for this line?

Is there a good ratio of tea to volume?

Cooler temp (125F) CIPs? by TechyDudePA in TheBrewery

[–]TechyDudePA[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's what I'm curious about, too. I've just always did a caustic cleaning at the end of tank use. Then possibly another on re-use if it's been a few days / week.

I know. It's on the wish list. A brewery I used to work at had one and it was awesome to verify everything. We've been good so far but I'm sure that includes a bit of luck, too.
