100th post

feels like it was just yesterday when we started the beer blog. pretty sure no one reads this except for kris, myself, and kyler (think i spelled his name right) i'll make sure he recieves a bottle of peacemaker this christmas as a special thanks. who knows, maybe well have two fans by our 200th post!

bottled off the rest of el dorado today to make room in the keezer for our dry hopped fang maker. took a gravity reading on kimosabe reloads which is currently sitting at 1.020. higher than were hoping for so i gave the fermenters a little swirl and with any luck the final gravity will drop lower. i built a little pump line cleaner this weekend and tested it out while bottling. i am pleased to report that it works exceptionally well. nice for cleaning the keezer and beer gun lines without needing an empty keg to push starsan or oxyclean through.

parts list:
  • pump garden sprayer
  • #4 worm clamp
  • 3/8" - 1/4" barb
  • 3/8" - 3/8" coupler
  • 3/8" - 3/8" compression fitting (remove nut and ferrule)
  • liquid keg post (thanks kevin!)
  • teflon tape
