    Well...its been sometime/ homebrewer since 1994....im 37.

    Vacation day 2morrow:

    My list:

    clean bear lines( 20lb CO2 tank...from basement to Faucet ( up to 3 beers on tap) got about 6 ft of line from my Granite counter tops to the fridge in the da basement (my ass skated on this. for for 1 1/2 years)

    My beer facet tower x 3 for pouring...chrome...really pissed I let it go to this point. My fridge in the basement holds up to 4 corny ball lock kegs.......gonna run line cleaner(warmed)....star stan (normal temp)....then pure water.

    As i do this: I will be brewing; dear God the passion came back!!!

    After 20 years? Replace beer lines. Unless they've been sitting impeccably clean and dry, and show no signs of deterioration.

    What's your plan for keeping your lines cold all the way to your granite countertops?

    I have PVC Piping from My Faucet down. I insulated the inside with this gray foam stuff.....I cut a decent size hole in the side of the fridge....and have a small electric fan that blows cold air around the lines......First Pint a wee bit warm...after that no worries.

    To get this stage...tested my fabrication skills, which suck

    Let me clarify....last time I brewed was 1 1/2 years ago.
    The lines themselves are 3 years old
