Lines Cleaned

April 11, 2009 1:08 pm

Don’t worry, it’s not the first time I’ve cleaned them… I’m just trying to keep track of how often I actually clean the lines.Â If you’re interested, this site has more details on the cleaning process (it’s a pain):

I also have clear beer lines for the sole reason of being able to visually inspect them.Â I’ll probably change them out this summer since it’s a cheap fix and I may get a set of soda lines (soda+beer don’t mix) to I could have some root beer on tap.

Empty & Offline

We kicked the Harpoon IPA about 4 beers into last night.

There will be nothing on tap for a bit as I need to move the kegerator into the basement within the next week or so. It will be â€œofflineâ€ for a while, probably 2-3 weeks at minimum.

In the meantime Iâ€™ll be upgrading to a two-faucet setup (hardware is already set to go). I expect Old Brown Dog to make another appearance but the second beer is TBD. Suggestions welcome.

Time to catch up on some bottle samples that have been accumulating for 2 months.
