It is extremely useful to hear from someone that has actually tried one.<BR/><BR/>I have thought of the issue of balancing the pressure by using a long and much narrower beverage line to the first faucet. I didn't actually do any calculations as I don't really know how much restriction there will be in the filter housing. A trial run next week will show if I need to make any adjustments.<BR/><BR/>Bringing a pitcher sounds like a good idea. Do you have an opinion on whether it will be best to just push a lot of beer through all at once and serve it from the pitcher, or if it is better to just leave the beer on the hops for some time between each pour?<BR/><BR/>I'm sure it'll be messy. :)<BR/><BR/>It remains to see how conservative Norwegian beer drinkers react...grovehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02090575637277836287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6756861315815236395.post-34281288022557045452007-03-07T21:59:00.000+01:002007-03-07T21:59:00.000+01:00Neat!I have a feeling that you're going to have is...Neat!<BR/><BR/>I have a feeling that you're going to have issues pouring through two faucets like that. I have worked at a few festivals where I was in charge of the Randall and you will probably need quite a bit more pressure to get the beer through the hops. This in my opinion could cause the other line to pour too aggressively.<BR/><BR/>Also, when you get this all set up and you are ready to start dispensing, you need to make sure you have at least one pitcher, because the beer coming out of the Randall might be very foamy. <BR/><BR/>When we would use the Randall, the beer seemed to come out of the picnic tap very heady, but when the head settled, the beer almost seemed stripped of a lot of it's co2. I had lots of fun pouring Randallized beers (but at first it was messy). A lot of people came up to get beer from me simply because it was something different (I think some of them thought the hops were drugs).beerinatorhttp://beermapping.comnoreply@blogger.com
