A big thankyou to sp0rk for this recipe - I brewed this a couple of weeks ago and it's come out brilliant - as close to the original as you're ever going to get. The only thing I'd add is that you need a high chloride to sulfate ratio (I used 150:50) Photos and other info below...

I've been using the same mangrove jacks ones, and have had a similar experience. I bottle from keg (after force carbonation), and have found that after more than a few weeks they lose all carbonation and become flat. I'll be going back to good old reliable crown seals I think

After upgrading my kegerator setup, I've come up with another design to hold my (previously posted) custom decals. Full details - Custom Triple Tap Kegerator Font Decal Holder

I've just written a review on the Hydrom - I think it's cool and a worthy competitor to the other digital floating hydrometer options available at the moment. I integrated it with Ubidots Stem for free and was able to create some neat looking graphs using the in-built widgets...

Have you considered using Fresh Wort Kits? Typically 15L of brewed wort (unfermented beer) that you can (optionally) top up to 20L with spring water if you wish. A bit more than 10L batch you mentioned, but it's as easy as pouring it into a fermenter along with some yeast, let it ferment for 1-2...

these are cool!

thanks! Finish isn't spectacular on them, but for a garage kegerator I think they're neat, and provide a nice little keepsake for each of my brews - once their done I stick a magnet to them and keep them on the side of the fridge.

I made some 3D printed custom tap decals like this More info here for anyone interested https://www.biralleebrewing.com/2022/06/custom-3d-printed-beer-tap-decals.html

Try manually pressing down the locking collar on the Spundie once you've got it pushed onto the post

Cheers! I clean it with a keg washer setup, but only use warm tap water. Can't answer to the lid holding up to near boiling temperature. I don't have any other accessories (yet) besides a ball valve sight glass so haven't dumped yeast or used a carb stone etc.

I've got one - have just published a review on it https://www.biralleebrewing.com/2022/08/keg-king-apollo-titan-30l-stainless.html

Cheeky Peak have their Nano-X stainless conical fermenter range that are pressure capable (with a special pressure rated lid) https://cheekypeakbrewery.com.au/product-category/brewing-equipment/fermenters-accessories/nano-x-304ss-unitank-fermenters-fermenter-buckets-accessories/

Count me in, thanks!

Count me in - been eyeing off a heating pad for some time now

Hi Kegland, Looking at going down the rabbit hole of kegging so am looking at getting started with something like the fermzilla conical 27L - I like the idea of a unitank for pressure fermenting and then using the same vessel for serving/dispensing.. however, I'm not finding much info though on...
