damn it!!! my hose is frozen!

[bracconiere]

i've been putting off cleaning since last brew day....worked up the courage to do it today...figures damn hose is froze! i so got reminded of this!

 

[jtratcliff]

Frozen hose, eh? No need to be ashamed... It happens to a lot of guys.. not me though....


Have you tried Viagra? I've heard that can get your hose working again...

 

[Homebrew Harry]

Mine are frozen too. I'm glad there's no water in them

 

[bracconiere]

Have you tried Viagra?

it was already to stiff! and it was for hours, i was thinking about maybe needing to call a plumber/doctor, whatever!!

 

[day_trippr]

Wait - is this you?

looks more like my brew kettle ,that wishes my hose was flowing?

 

[Sam_92]

Both will charge you $300 just for showing up!

Both will charge you $300 just to talk to them, fixing it is extra! Time to build an electric kettle and brew indoors if you ask me. You know the boil is done when everything in the room is sweating.

i did brew it inside! cleaning up still requires me to take it out back! wait that doesn't sound right....

 

[Sam_92]

Oh right ... I forgot your bathtub is full of malt. Carry on my good man!

 

[bracconiere]

Carry on my good man!

that was the problem! i couldn't....

 

[Homebrew Harry]

I hate draining hoses. In winter I lay my unattached hoses stretched out on a slope in the back yard. Every time I put them up, I end up needing them anyway. Now I just leave them out.

You can't rinse from the spigot?

my hose is 200' long......and my yard is flat.....

no.....

 

[marc1]

no.....

(LOL found a spigot icon!)

 

[bracconiere]

(LOL found a spigot icon!)

good one! (kind of an over reaction, i COULDN'T find one for chuckling!)

 

[balrog]

I run a hose from outside spigot to garage brewhouse every brew day.
And I drain it as I roll it up at the end of every brew day.
It froze on me once, between kettle filling and end of boil chilling and I just don't ever want to have to go through that 3 hours waiting for it to thaw ever again.

 

[WalletHocker]

Err... wait it freezes in the South Arizona?

For some reason that makes me happy.

[El Whedo]

[bracconiere]

Hoser...

(or was it garth? or the strange brew i'm drinking? whatever...interesting thought)

 

[El Whedo]

Damn, 260$ !?!

I can count on six to seven months of snow and ice a year and I'd never spend that on a hose. I roll my hose up after use in the winter. It's always ready to go.

And how the hell can ya brew and not clean up immediately? LOL. It boggles my mind.

 

[GilSwillBasementBrews]

This is cheaper.

 

[bracconiere]

LOL. It boggles my mind.

i notice you put that in a different order? it boggles my mind?

@GilSwillBasementBrews you know i got a roll of this stuff....let me look it up..

could probably just tape it on and hook it up to my car battery charger......even cheaper....or with what i've learned with my dryer experience, could i just shove it down the hose, and trust ground would pull the neutrilized electrons out if just hook up positive to it?

Been there and done that as well.
Finished the boil and was like, WTF?

 

[balrog]

anybody notice 404 HBT went dark right after I posted my bit about frozen hose?
I mean, obviously, it is back now, but WTF

There was a disturbance in The Force...

Hang on everyone! Don't you have washing machines that have a 3/4" supply and an air gap supply you can jam your outlet house into?! This sh** can be easier! F*** the cold winter goblins! This is the perfect weather to make lagers to save until lawn mower season!

 

[camonick]

Here you go @bracconiere . Drain it and bring inside when you’re done. Doesn’t take up any space.

Don't you have washing machines that have a 3/4" supply

never thought about using the washing machine supply line! i'd only need like a 20' hose then....

And a nice T-valve, or the whole system degrades quickly with changing hoses in and out


Oh! And a way to remember to switch it reliably and never forget to do so, lest ye invoke the indefatigable wrath of she who does laundry.

[bracconiere]

for the record, i was hoping to brew today....but morebeer f'd up my order i got 6 5lb bags of base malt instead of the 4 10lb bags i ordered.....


not sure how i'd prove it besides the shipping label even says, 24lbs? which is weird...because it should be 30lbs?
