Thump spear reduction

Post by Chauncey »

1 inch spear into the keg right

I was thinking id reduce ito to 3/4 or half because it not long enough and i dont have a 1 inch coupler or more 1 inch pipe around, just reducers from 1 to 1/2 or 3/4...

Thoughts? Rest of the system is mostly 2 inch. See recent thread for build.

Im.leaning toward the 3/4 but the 1/2 parts are more plentiful in my shed

3/4 will be ok. I think 1/2 might be too small. The 1/2 might also be ok, but I think it would have a noticeable effect on vapor speed going into the thumper.
