I had a bunch of like 1/2in or so inside diameter hose I picked up at one point and had no use for it until this. In the primary, I do the same thing out of the bucket. The right sized hose makes a nice tight fit.<BR/><BR/>I reuse the hose. I don't really think things through very well and it's never occurred to me that it might be a potential source of contamination. You know what they say; God protects fools, drunks and children!<BR/><BR/>I am up for a trade, what do you have for me? I would ask that you give me a good judging though.<BR/><BR/>Email me at travis@cnybrew.com and we can work something out.<BR/><BR/>Cheers!Travishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08293454329758079937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22399565.post-3260589519467268062007-11-28T22:05:00.001-05:002007-11-28T22:05:00.001-05:00I'm a convert to batch sparging, so I don't have too much to say here. But I noticed in photo of the fermenting beer...that you are using a plug and a smaller diameter hose. Never thought to do that, but I think I'll try it. This might at first seem like a stupid question but...Do you reuse the hose, or do you toss it after each batch?<BR/><BR/>Congrats on the Dopplebock! I wish I could trade something for it. Don't you love it when a lager comes out rockin?Ted Danylukhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08416906043519452478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22399565.post-34502548710653308462007-11-28T22:05:00.000-05:002007-11-28T22:05:00.000-05:00I'm a convert to batch sparging, so I don't have too much to say here.
