3/8" or 1/2" Barb

Post by bluenose » Mon Mar 12, 2012 3:36 pm

I'm trying to accumulate some parts for a keggle build and I was wondering if the barb coming off of it should be 3/8" or 1/2"?

I'd go with 1/2" if it was me, all the tubing, connections, etc. on my keggles are 1/2".

I never look at the barb sizes, I just get stuff that fits the tubing I use.
At Alexander Keith's we follow the recipes first developed by the great brewmaster to the absolute letter. :wtf:
