This has got to be a gag. It just has to be.

I hope that the CAPEX is approved and the capital is released :)

I keen to get the fermentasaurus with a pressure cap, but I think that I will prioritise a single vessel system. I'm keen to ditch the kits and 10l biab batches. Beauty of the fermentasaurus is you can serve from it directly if your not in a rush to put on another batch.

I think that they will work well together. I would combine them. Depending on ratios, when and how you can expect a tropical/grapefruity kind of flavour.

Thanks WEAL, arrived today in good order :)

Are you near k**k***? They should be happy to swap it out for you. All of my experiences have been pretty bad with them but they have always made good.

My money is on a faulty valve

Unsure, I know that there are valves that will shut off gas in the event of sudden pressure loss but I would only expect to see that with flammable gas. Have you got some scales to weigh the cylinder?

I'm wondering if somehow the tap isn't acting on the valve

I would say that the value head is faulty is the tap in good nick?

Yep I don't have much luck with them

Is there no flow at all? What kind of cylinder is it? I'm thinking that it's a stuck valve

Is it iced up? could be a stuck valve

Once you have temperature control then I guess that it is up to you what direction you go. Ss definitely has some advantages over plastic and I think that the main advantage of conical is the reduced surface area of trube that the beer will be in contact with. Some conicals will allow you to...

One of my fermentors is a ss brewtec brew bucket, worth its weight but it's true that it is a luxury. The main benefits I get from it is the complete blocking of light, lower surface area of contact with trube (spelling?) and closed transfers to kegs. I wouldn't rule out stainless but I would...
