Yep that's the one. Was more surprised as all the pics online didn't have that feature, and it was slowly letting lower end pressure out of the fermenter. Thanks for the photo and detail!

Indeed, all the photos I saw of it when researching the lid before buying it had no PRV, I just assumed they updated their line to have them all come stock with the PRV now. Funnily enough I took the washers off, reassembled the PRV and gave it a few before doing the starsan test and it...

1.5cm, it doesn't have the trip clamp on currently, just the bored rubber bung and airlock.

Will keep and eye on it and do some spraying if need be! Thanks very much for your help mate, much appreciated.

Do you think the PRV is not working properly if it's already allowing this low end of pressure out instead of the airlock?

Hey all, After some advice please. 🙂 Upgraded my SS brew bucket to a domed lid today to do pressurerised transfers. Put the lid on a new batch and pitched the yeast starter early arvo then checked it later - no airlock activity (complete equilibrium on an S shaped kind) but Tilt is showing a...

I know! Now I'm disappointed it's all fine.

Good call. Begrudgingly opened it up and took a sample and scooped up the Tilt, looks like some gunk from the krausen had settled on top of it and was weighing it down. Gave it a quick scrape and both the Tilt and the manual hydrometer measured up at 1.007. Glad it appears to be fine!

Hey all, Brewed a pale ale on the weekend and when filtering into the fermenter I found a small cockroach in the bottom of the boiled wort, fucker had hidden in one of the outlets before I'd started. I said meh and continued on. SG for this batch was 1.054, pitched with a Wyeast smack pack of...

Thanks mate.

Hey all, After spending the past year building my all grain system I just finished my first brew, cooled and pitched and chucked it in the fridge. Problem is I've noticed the vodka I've put in the airlock is being pushed from one side to the other - towards the upper exit: Is there a problem...

Sorry if this sounds ignorant, but by putting the sealant on there will I be able to get the element out easily still? Or would the sealant get a bit messy to remove when all dried off?

Hey guys, just testing the seals on my HLT: I'm losing water in the thread under the keggle where the element screws in: I've got tap tape on the thread but the element only screws in a couple of turns. The silicon o-ring that's under the nut inside the keggle is tightened as far as it...

In please.
