All grain is contaminated with all sorts of stuff. Take your "uncontaminated grain" to tropical Queensland for a week and see what hatches. Just as well we mash and boil. Not sure what postage would cost for 5 tonnes. On the plus side, might be a big enough package for Couriers Please to not lose.

Looks like I'd also need this, right? The included duotight fittings suit 8 mm OD tubing. I'm hoping the above will screw into the Nukatap "beer in port" and provide a socket for that 9.5 mm OD tubing.

Awesome, thank you!

@KegLand-com-au what's the easiest way to use an extension tube with the Nukatap Counter Pressure Filler? My taps can only take the push in fitting, so I can't use the screw attachment that is shown in the video. I bought the Growler Spout, which fits the tap, but it takes 10 mm ID tube, so...

Yeah, it's loud as shit. Kegland tried to say the fan is the noisiest part, but the fan is whisper quiet in comparison to the gurgling whale of a compressor.

1. Recirc PBW to clean the inside of the kettle, the silicone hose and the whirlpool arm (if you have one). 2. Get yourself a 15 L (or so) plastic basin from Bunnings; the sort you'd normally use for an oil change. This gives you somewhere to put your grain basket while you start the boil. You...

Hazies are easier to get than west coast IPAs right now. Try Feral Biggie Juice or Colossal Mind Harvest. Edit: anything Black Hops is good too -- Hornet, Pale Ale, Neverland.

We're talking about the hopping rates the official recipe uses, which happen to be more in line with a NEIPA than a DIPA. Between the insane hop rate, the low BU:GU, and being hazy with a wheat/oat grist, "double NEIPA" would probably be a more accurate description than DIPA.

Sounds right. It's a delicious beer (esp. on tap @ BH HQ) with a good bitterness kick. I pretty much ignore hopping rates in all these recipes and go with my tried and true 3 g/L for APAs and 4-6 g/L for (NE)IPAs. With cold-side oxidation under control (dry hopping under active fermentation +...

Thanks dad. I also found a way to make filling the GUTEN with water easier. I'm stuck with a kitchen tap that has a fancy nozzle, so there's no way to attach tubing to it. The flowrate is also restricted, so filling a 5 L jug multiple times is painfully slow. New method: plug the sink and run...

Speaking of false bottom, has anyone managed to modify theirs to make it easier and less damaging to get in and out? I’m tempted to cut mine down the middle and put stainless hinges in. Or a hinge made of a strip of stainless mesh.

Nukatap didn't exist when I got the Ultrataps, and your previous KK clone taps were perpetually out of stock anyway. None of the [trimmed] marketing spiel is particularly objective or measurable, and there's no mention of a lifetime warranty to back up the lifetime seals claim. In any case...

Thanks for all the interesting replies guys. I managed to find a used 237 L Hisense all-fridge for $100. Good bargain, as they seem to be $699 new now. Keen to level up and do split batch yeast experiments!

Thanks. I saw they were both 10 mm fittings, but even a tolerance of ±0.3 mm, could be the difference between no fit, a leaky fit, a perfect fit or a tight fit. I've been burned before when assuming the thread for attachments was the same too.
