Hey Kegland, what do you reckon about doing some replacement doors for the Grand Deluxe without the glass? Mine gets a little bit of direct sun, so I have to stick a cover over the doors to not perish the keg post orings and skunk my beer. A solid insulated black door would look pretty slick...

I would buy one of these for packaging cold brew coffee for sure.

@KegLand-com-au Any chance of getting in some bigger conical flasks? Your 5L one is much closer to 4L than 5L and is too small for a double batch lager.

FYI the same things needed for growing mushrooms are also applicable to growing Koji and I think you would see a lot of foodies interested if the ferment chamber had these capabilities.

It's definitely beer stone. As I said, BS Remover is effective where acid is not. BS Remover is just way overpriced so I am looking for a cheaper alternative. Phosphoric/Nitric blend also works very well but getting Nitric acid is a pain.

Yeah I'm in Perth so the water is quite hard ~110ppm as CaCO3. I have tried undiluted vinegar as a substitute for BS remover to no effect. Will give the lactic a go.

Yeah I rate barkeepers friend but I have a real problem with beer stone/calcium build up on my yeast starter flasks.

@KegLand-com-au Any plans to start selling either Nitric acid or an equivalent to Five Star B.S. Remover? I find phosphoric/nitric mixed solution to work really well but it's a pain to get the nitric acid.

I was looking at this yesterday and it seems to me the most thorough way to purge the hops would be to daisy-chain a second tee onto the side in the photo there. That way you can have a keg line into the container with the hops from one carb cap and a purge outlet on the other cap to push the...

I second that. The quick clean ball valves are fantastic but the shipping from the states is a bitch and BSP thread would be much better than NPT.

@KegLand-com-au Any word on when the "Modular 76 Series MKII - Straight Extension" will be back in stock? Edit: NVM I see they are now

3/4" would be good for hooking up to a garden tap also.

FWIW I have one of these and it gets my shitty water down from 450-500 TDS to under 20. My cheap ebay RO only managed about 50 TDS. I use one of these to adapt to a hose: https://www.bunnings.com.au/holman-18mm-brass-sprinkler-adapter_p3110590

You need a double shutoff valve that will shutoff the waste as well like this (Auto Shut-Off Float Valve Upgrade Kit - Reef Pure RO Systems) otherwise everything will just run out the waste.
