Hoy tocaba terminar la nevera donde voy a realizar el amasado y la conversi\u00f3n de la malta. He a\u00f1adido a mi nevera ‘Coleman’ un colector realizado con la cobertura de acero inoxidable de un manguito de agua terminado con unas tuercas de presi\u00f3n tambien en acero inoxidable. He aprovechado tambi\u00e9n para limpiar posibles restos de plomo en los grifos de lat\u00f3n. Para ello he utilizado la t\u00e9cnica que describe John J. Palmer en su libro ‘How to brew’ en el apendice B:<\/p>\n

\u00abCleaning Brass
\nSome brewers use brass fittings in conjunction with their wort chillers or other brewing equipment and are concerned about the lead that is present in brass alloys. A solution of two parts white vinegar to one part hydrogen peroxide (common 3% solution) will remove tarnish and surface lead from brass parts when they are soaked for 5 minutes or less at room temperature. The brass will turn a buttery yellow color as it is cleaned. If the solution starts to turn green and the brass darkens, then the parts have been soaking too long and the copper in the brass is beginning to dissolve, exposing more lead. The solution has become contaminated and the part should be re-cleaned in a fresh solution.\u00bb

\nSometiendo al lat\u00f3n a una soluci\u00f3n de dos partes de vinagre y una de agua oxigenada, el lat\u00f3n queda brillante y limpio ademas de eliminar posibles restos de plomo que queden de la fabricaci\u00f3n. Al parecer algunos fabricantes para que el lat\u00f3n sea mas f\u00e1cil de mecanizar le a\u00f1aden algo de plomo.<\/p>\n

Aqu\u00ed os dejo alguna foto tanto del colector como del proceso de limpieza del lat\u00f3n.
