Need some beer line, quickly. Any recommendations on where to order and what to get? I need to bottle up some beers off the keg before homebrewdad boots me out of the community. I haven't ordered any beer line lately, and my local hbs doesn't stock any. I typically use biermunchers method of filling off the keg. If you have a better suggestion on technique, let me know.

"I need to bottle up some beers off the keg before homebrewdad boots me out of the community"
What?
I like using the Ultra Barrier Silver stuff for that bit of extra piece of mind.

It's a joke. Stonehands has been saying for weeks that he's going to bottle some beers to do a swap with me.

I'm a Bev-Seal Ultra kind of guy. Farmhousebrewing.com can get it to you pretty quick. It is semi-rigid tubing so you really need to use John Guest fittings with it, but it's cheap and won't hold flavors when you switch beers. I only clean my lines every few months with this line.
Both the Bev Seal Ultra and Ultra Barrier silver tubing are co-extruded PET lined tubing. The Ultra Barrier silver is silicone on the outside I think, and the PET has embedded silver in it for microbial protection. Bev Seal Ultra is HDPE on the outside and PET on the inside without the silver embedded.
Ultra Barrier silver is significantly more expensive. I wouldn't consider using any tubing other than those two in a permanent install.

Thanks guys. Yeah, I know Olan won't kick me out, but I feel bad not being able to bottle anything up for him. I guess I need two types, a cheap flexible type for a bottle filler and the other more permanent type. I'll check out farmhouse, my fallback has been kegconnection. I'd like to use Amazon prime, but I'm not seeing anything there.

Well, Rob, it's not as big a deal as my IPA is melting down. It'll be two or three weeks before this Irish red is ready, if you even want to try it.

I feel bad about that IPA. I still want to try it. Though if we wait another week or two you can try one of the beers I'm sending off to nhc, maybe both.

So... I get to try good beer, and you get infected swill?

I'll keep one of the swill bottles and 'trade' it back to you in a few months, asking for a review. I started typing this as a joke but now I'm really liking this idea....
