    Yet another CIP build

    Yet another CIP build

    I would plumb it all in 1". That's the thread size on the pump head and I see no reason to restrict the in or outflow any more than you need to. It is a self-priming pump, but you still don't want to restrict the inflow by going smaller than the pump's thread size. I got a 1" FPT spray ball...

    Yet another CIP build

    Sorry the picture of the whole thing didn't come through. Here it is. And that garden hose was just for testing. I obviously use an RV hose for my brewing/rinse water.

    Cutting the coils in a dead freezer

    Hey guys- I've been reading this forum for years and was able to obtain enough knowledge to build a nice little automated system. Thanks HBT! I recently obtained a large (fits 8 cornies) chest freezer for free from CL and the owner said it cools, but not quite to zero. What a perfect...
