Novice, but learning quickly

Post by porter »

Hey there....we've just finished a new expansion head for our keg unit. Next change will be to make an offset head since the arm is a slip fit unit. I will simply attach there instead fo the arm.

You have still got that plastic tube on the output of your parrot, get rid of it. Extend the copper tube if necessary. Also having your parrot that close to your boiler will give you false readings due to temperature variation.

I agree with olddog on both counts... I was wondering about that parrot mount but there wasn't a good angle in previous pictures... You probably need more thermal isolation... You'll know once you do a trial run or two...

Nice pussy there. Watch it doesn't get your parot. :)

I still hate the plastic though.
