I use all cam locks. If you go with barb fittings you won't be able to move hoses around a lot before the hose gets too loose to make a good connection.

If you're not planning on moving hoses around and just using it for one purpose barb fittings will work fine.

I just have copper nipples on mine then use reusable clamps if necessary

Is it just generally tight enough if you're using say 5/16" barbed fittings with 1/2" ID Silicone tubing. Aren't there some plastic hose clamps or something?
Just trying to see how cheap I could get into a pump setup sometime down the road.

This is what I have on all of my connections:
Copper Connection
Then I use the 1/2 silicon tubing with these clamps when needed:
Hose Clamps

I think that's what I was looking for and thinking about.
Thanks.

I saw that and wondered the same thing. Not 100% sure just yet.
Most interesting part was the fact that it was 1st runnings only.

Similar. I appear to be missing some caramalt.

Think that was some dude's personal RIS recipe.

Oh, I see now. The blue highlighted name threw me off.

I was looking at that image and my first thought was.. "What is redacted at the bottom??"
DOH!

Pulled a sample of my brett IPA tonight. Sitting around 1.006 with some nice brett character. About time to dry hop it.

I need to do one of these soon. I've been distracted with other brews and keep putting it off.
I checked my sour farmhouse last night and it's a LOT more sour than farmhouse... Oh well made beer...
I've got a DIPA in the fermenter now and a kolsch on deck afterwards. Maybe I'll get to the brett beer after those.

I started to check my sour last night too, but I was so disappointed in how bad it was last time that I didn't have the heart to try it again. It's only about 6 months old, so still plenty of time to get right.

My keezer is acting up after moving. It's barely chilling. It was cooling for a little bit after being put in place, but now it's not cooling anything lower than the upper 50s. I've got a couple things to check out on it, but it's not looking good. Something might have banged around in the move and opened up a coolant leak.
It's had a good 7 year run and survived two moves before this.

Ugh. That sucks. I should be preparing for that too as all of our keezers and fermentation chambers and deep freezers are pre-loved.
