Dusting off this old thread as the keezer finally died. I've been looking at the series x plus model despite not being a high volume drinker. Is this model quieter than the base model for those that have one or seen them in action? And are they worth the extra money if you are probably going to...
First brew on the 50l guten today.
Also first brew in my dedicated brew space.
Pros: Once I figured out how the controller work I was able to get a good mash temp and boil. Heats up nice and quick using 15amps.
And so much easier than a gas setup. Just walk away as you please and potter around...
Hi guys, I just switched on my keezer after a few months. It wasn't cooling down on fridge mode. So I tried to run as a freezer. And then the compressor stopped. I'm assuming that it's dead.
As it has a collar is my best option to find a replacement freezer of the same dimensions and transfer...
That's awesome thank you. I'll have an initial brew in a few weeks just to get a feel for things and decide then on the condenser option. Get's cold here in Canberra over winter so I like the idea of having the garage door closed for brew day!
Out of interest duncbrewer, how did you make that condenser and lid? I can't work out whether the kegland brewzilla lids will fit the guten so might need to DIY like you
Thanks all for your advice everyone. As an update I've decided to go down the 50L Guten path as it's cheap at the moment and I'll see how my brewing goes. Shame no one makes a cheeky peak type setup with a larger element pre-installed. For later if I can get cashed up!
Awesome set-up Moad! Looks like a lot of effort and a few $$'s went into that. I'll keep trawling through the thread to get some further inspiration. p.s. I wish I had a garage door near my brew area and something on wheels...thinking I'll have to get a steam condenser.
Some sweet set-ups here. Who knew setting up an electric brewery required so much planning and consideration...actually probably just me over thinking things as usual rather than just making a decision and stumping up the cash!
I have an esky mash tun, electric hlt and tons of silicon tubes, cam lock fittings and 2 pumps so could do something similar. Plus instant hot water so the only thing slow would be getting to a boil (would a herms or rims set up in line speed that up perhaps)? I just hear about things getting...
Hi guys, I'm switching from gas to electric but have been turning myself into knots for the past month not knowing what options to take.
I was originally thinking of an all in one (robobrew 65) or guten. But I've also been considering something like cheeky peak. I can reuse a lot of existing...
Hi guys, I just got quotes $1400 to wire up a 15amp outlet plus a couple of small 10amp outlets on 2 circuits (one existing). It's only 2 metres away from the switch and the board is 3 phase and has room.
This sounds way over the top. What would be a reasonable price for this job? Getting a...
Thanks for this advice. This place actually has two instant hot water systems, induction stove and electric oven, and reverse cycle ducted ac. Some serious power coming through!
