Trying to find a suitable hose to go from my beer engine's 1/2" braided hose to 3/8" hose hooked up to my corney acting as a cask. I have all kinds of John Guest fittings - 1/2"-3/8" reducers, hose barb-JG stems, straight couplers, etc. - but coming up empty on the smaller hose. My LHBS only offers crap vinyl for beer hose and I'd thought to look into EVA barrier, but from what I can tell none of them are set up for hose barbs in the 3/8" range. Thoughts on what to use to get from the 1/2" hose to 3/8"?
I'd also ask for those who use a beer engine - I hesitate to get a typical small beer line (e.g., 1/4"), because I'm pulling through an engine and not driving with CO2. I've seen anecdotal info on the web where many people say their engine has a tough time drawing through such restricted line. Thoughts appreciated.
