Thanks. I'll just give it a good clean and double check FG is steady for a week next time I use that fermenter.

Is there any way to denature dry enzyme (the stuff in the sachets) without heat? I made a small test batch of brut IPA in a small 8L plastic fermenter I have. I used the enzyme in the fermenter. Gravity got to 1.000 and I kegged it. Problem is the plastic fermenter says can't handle temps over...

Good idea. Thanks.

Hi, I primarily brew small batch (12-14L)BIAB. I mash with a sous vide stick and boil on my stove. I'd like to add an element to my kettle (big W 19L pot) to fee up stove space. Is there an element I can use where I don't need a temp control box or voltage restrictor keeping in mind I just need...

Thanks for the thoughts. I've got parts on the way from Kegland so I'll give it a go this week Hmmm interesting. Do you know what brand your sprayer was/is Cheers

Hi, Just to bring an old thread back from the dead. Was planning on making one of these and found these https://www.kegland.com.au/ball-lock-post-with-1-4-inch-bulkhead-assembly-liquid.html They also sell a gas one. Is there any reason why I couldn't use one of these as a gas in on the side...
