Purging lines

Post by CaptAwol » Sun Mar 25, 2018 3:59 pm

I would like to try hop torpedo'ing with a hoprocket and fastferment conical, this will obviously require purging the lines with co2, as I don't use co2 I have nothing for this.
Being a co2 virgin can someone recommend or suggest what I should be looking at for this purpose of just purging

with a bit of planning perhaps simply vent the fermentation co2 through the hop rocket to purge most of the o2, it will require unsealing of hops earlier, but once purged and ports plugged the whole assembly could be put in the freezer til primary has completed.
ist update for months n months..
Fermnting: not a lot..
Conditioning: nowt
Maturing: Challenger smash, and a kit lager
Drinking: dry one minikeg left in the store
Coming Soon Lots planned for the near future nowt for the immediate :(

That's an option I've considered in the past, connect tube from airlock to a polypin bag and save the co2
