---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Mon, 17 Aug 2009 07:38:44 -0400 From: "A. J. deLange" <ajdel at cox.net> Subject: Capping on Foam/Tubing In a commercial filler the foam is generated by shooting a jet of water into the neck of the bottle and I suppose one could do that. What I have always done is rap the bottle on the side a couple of times with the handle of a screwdriver held by the blade. Sometimes the beer doesn't seem to want to cooperate so remember that it isn't necessary to get foam up to the lip. Any amount of foam in which the bubbles are bursting is releasing CO2 into the neck of the bottles and filling the space with CO2 from the bottom up. I was just at the hardware store the other day looking for a short length of high temperature tubing (to use with an under-sink hot water generator). All they had was the vinyl stuff and each box was clearly labeled indicating that the max. temp was 175 and the max pressure at that temp (which I don't remember) was also given. For high temperature tubing I usually go to McMaster Carr which has a wide assortment all of which have 3 things in common: 1) They will handle high temperatures 2)They are OK for food and 3) They are expensive. For short runs the last won't put you in the poor house (especially for the 6" piece I needed but it's too much trouble to put in an order for that). A.J. Return to table of contents
