Accuflex Bev Seal lines & adapters

I plan to order the fittings at the end of August after another stint out of town. I am just doing fittings and not the line with the order. You can order line from Farmhouse which seems to have the best price. I will post here with a tally before I get ready to order to makes sure everyone gets what they would like. If someone wants to get this sooner you can take over the order for the group if you like. I need three of the shanks and three of the 1/4" mfl connections.

Matt,
Have you placed the order yet?

http://www.farmhousebrewingsupply.com/ has 7% off through this weekend. I plan to order a roll of tubing and maybe some hops. The tubing is in 50' rolls so I'll have around half a roll left over if anyone wants to go in. I'll probably get a pound of 7 C's if anyone wants to split it. Won't need that much.

I have not ordered yet. I will tally up and order soon. I will post a who and what tally here. Remember, you need a lot longer run with this line than the normal tubing. I am using about 15' instead of the 5' I use to run. Three beer lines will use up almost and entire 50' roll. Also know that they are not very flexible and require some play in some fridge to get them to work. Love the one I have installed right now.

I plan to open my house to Beer Nuts for drinking this Saturday night. I will be posting details in the forum. You can check out my line and I could collect some money for the QD order.

Matt, can you explain the "you need a lot longer run" bit? Is it due to diameter?

Lee is the expert but essentially this tubing is still same diameter, issue is there is less resistance so you need a longer run for the same drop in pressure. If you push at 10-12 psi and only run 5' your beer will fly out of your line. You need at least 15' to push regular ales. I think Lee is running around 24' for his Belgians.

Lot of stuff out there on the web that does a better job explaining then I did here.

The glass lining makes the tubing stiffer than standard vinyl tubing, which means there is less of a pressure drop per unit length. To properly balance the lines, then, you'll need longer runs. About 15' seems to work really well for 10-12 psi. I'm using 20' or 30' for higher pressure belgians. That may sound like a ton of line, but it's really not that bad once it's coiled up. The OD of these lines is much smaller than a vinyl line.

I love the line and I am switching all my lines to this new tubing.

Here is the total order I have so far. Currently shipping is $4.95 but will drop to $1.99 if some more folks add on another $24.48 to the order. Listed below is your total. Please plan to pay me at the next meeting and I will put the order in. If you have not ordered and want in, let me know before the next brew club meeting is over. So far we saved 38% ($45.67 total) by ordering together.
