Stick a 2 way onto one of the 3 way outputs?

Your surname Heath or Robinson? Good idea, thanks.

I use the purple stuff, lasts for ever. I adapted a garden sprayer with a JG fitting and attach a 3 way JG fitting to allow 3 lines to be cleaned in one go. Anyone know of a 4 way?

Try one of these.

So I have to different pre boil gravities, hydro reads 1.044 and refrac read 1.040 so I'm going with 1.042. Efficiency is down a bit from my average if 66% so far, but I'm sure will still make a tasty beer. If the hydrometer sample was measured at 20c then the OG was what it said, 1.044. You will h...
