3 inch stripper ?

Postby YANKEE 'STILLER » Mon Sep 14, 2015 7:14 pm

Guys, I have an extra piece of 3X24 copper laying around and thought I'd hook it up to my 2X24 shotgun and use it as a dedicated stripper on my 5500 watt 15.5 keg.

Keg has a 6 inch ferrule on top stepped down to 3 inch and I'm wondering what take off speed it might be capable of pulling.

Care to take a guess ???

Thanks, guys. YS.

Why would you be re-stripping low wines?

Your hearts cut of a spirit run will end up needing watering down to 65% ;-)
