I recently added 2 BTs to my brewpub walk-in and had them fitted with racking arms. The reason being is that after transferring/carbonating, and using biofine, I have clear beer w/in 24 hrs ready to send to the taps well above the bottom port typically used for dumping the mung/sending to the taps. It usually takes 2-3 days to get all the mung to efficiently settle for bottom dumping.
I was tempted to add racking arms to the other 4 BTs when it occurred to me that since, 24 hours later, the beer is typically clear at the sample valve level, verified thru my pigtail, I thought why don't I just put a T on the sample port, attach the perlick sample valve on one side, a BF on the other, and send that side to the taps? A few days later, at my leisure, I could dump the more solidified mung from biofining. Am I missing something obvious here? Can anyone see any problem with this setup? Or are people already doing this?
Thanks,
