Got any reading/reference material for this one Mark?

Very interested thanks Josh 👍

Enjoyable viewing?

Seems like the Keg King thread was a strange place for commentary on Kegland all along 🤷‍♀️

Hey @KegLand-com-au, when using a duotight fitting on an 8mm OD stainless steel tube what's the right distance from the end to put a groove on the tube for the jaws to grab?

I like 70% on mine for a gentle boil, I'd guess 90% would be about right if you're after a vigorous boil. Depends on boil volume, kettle jacket or lack of, ambient conditions, etc etc

You're right in terms of temp control, I don't know how well that works or not out of the box. I did focus on only one of your two objections last night, my mistake. I can kinda see where you're coming from in terms of deadspace, but don't forget there's also wort surrounding the malt pipe to...

Just realised I've addressed your stuck mashes point @wide eyed and legless - which I'm baffled by - but not your temp control point. The 'heart exchanger disk', despite the daft name, is one of the best ideas KL have come up with IMO. The crazy thing though, is that the temp sensor is in...

No it doesn't prove your point at all, I bought mine because I purely wanted the stainless components (kettle, elements and malt pipe). I actually asked KL to sell me a dumb version sans controller but sadly they said no. I wouldn't have bought any of the other 1V systems in the market because...

Slightly, probably. Is it worth the extra effort though? Not pushing one way or the other, I do both. You rinse/sparge, you get more of the wort rinsed from the grain. But the wort remaining ('lost') in the grain contains less extract in a full volume mash than a (pre -rinse/sparge) partial...

65L gives you flexibility to do full volume mashes for single batches of standard beers, rather than needing to do a rinse/sparge, if that interests you.

There's nothing wrong with the recirculation on these units. Hardware-wise they're quite a good system. I've got no idea on the temp control etc though cos I've removed the controllers (and pumps) from mine and drive them with my own control panel and DC pumps.

As per Grok's mention (cheers Grok 👍) the following assumes you've read my post #10. Was just about to give that same advice until he pointed out I'd already done so in this thread 😝 Burst carbonating, as per your brewshop's advice, is great when it works and a pain in the arse when it doesn't...

Ok, so you're not able to tell me what the current rating is of the KSD301 that comes installed in the BrewZillas (and is sold as a spare part)?

Yeah, I've already got a brewery controller though so I'm powering the elements directly - would like to know which version of the KSD301 is in use so I know whether it can still be wired in series with the elements or not (obviously needs upgraded wiring to the KSD301 if so). Thanks,
