Beginning to ferment in cornys and don't have a dedicated workspace ... setup and breakdown whenever needing to work so motivated to have the least equipment and wanting it to perform multiple tasks. Also have begun fermenter purging serving and have a spunding valve on the way to begin pressurized operations. So I'l have a need for a several differently configured lines and in addition to needing multiple lines, also like the idea of easy cleaning (And might have more than one fermenter running at a time)
For those in a similar situation, have you come up with innovative ways to configure liquid and gas lines?
Have a selection of these in both varieties ...
And just ordered these
The thought is to have several non-specific purpose lines with barbed-to-threaded connectors that can be built/rebuilt as-needed. For example ...
4 three-foot lines (threaded connector on each end)
4 five-foot lines (threaded connector on each end)
(... a little measuring seems to show most useful existing lines so far are 3 and 5 feet)
In addition to the above lines I'd have the "jumper connectors" so if moving fast could make odd connections on-the-fly
Finally, seems like with having multiple reconfigurable lines when finished the QDs can be removed and soaked in warm water w/Starsan and lines blown-out and hung to dry ... which is nice because they seem to get thoroughly clean & dry between uses with both ends open
Incidentally, keep this dedicated to my kit ready at all times
Appreciate feedback or criticisms or to hear of completely improved approaches. Thanks -
