Is it possible in future generations to mold the 2 inch as part of the whole unit? rather than having the threaded component? That way you dont have to deal with the fittings.

This ^^. No idea why the homebrew scene prefers crappy plastic taps and unsanitary threads over tc fittings. Im guessing its an expense thing. The most annoying thing for my on my Fermzilla (and looks like a similar setup on the saurus) is the bottom rubber gasket... there is 4 or 5 pieces in...

I would jump over to the distilling forums as you will quickly learn that you shouldnt be controlling a still (especially that small) with temperature, rather they should be controlled by power input with an SCR or the the kegland power controllers - here. There is alot of opinion on temp (pid)...

If this is a learning experience, why are you brewing 180 Litres at a time? Thats a sure fire way of throwing 180L of expensive hops/malt/extract down the drain if it goes bad.

I brew 80L batches and use probably 2-3ml of Sellersan each time. They say on the product page that Stellarsan can be diluted down to 500L total. For me that would be 166 batches! And a bottle is $6.45.. your looking at 3 - 4 cents per brew, pretty economical in my book for a no-rinse sanitizer...

Lol, undoing a regulator takes 15 seconds. Way overcomplicated, you also need to make sure all those tees and valves are pressure rated to 1000+ psi. Without inverting the bottle you wont get any liquid into the target bottle... You cant leave the bottle inverted as you cant get liquid into...

Its not a V2, there were some updates made to the Fermzilla around the time the all rounders came out... one update was the top is more rounded to prevent cracking compared to the original units.

Seems to be up and running now.. They are definitely having some teething issues with the new site.

Are these 60L to the brim or is there some headspace on that aswell? I assume there wont be head space for 60L batch fermenting but looking at all options before i look more into stainless. The Fermzilla is annoying me with the 55L capacity, the last third keg gets just over half full.

Looking a bit more into the devs they used, they definitely dont look Aussie, a facade maybe... Its looks like a get what you pay for situation here which was the same as their last site. - Mitash Digital India

I bought this one... the 24v 10amp (240watt) version. - $24.99 delivered. https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/112843990043 Grabbed a $2 extension cord from bunnings and cut one end off to wire it up. Works really good.

Lol, This thing is literally 2 kegmenters welded together.. They have said in kegmenter videos that you have to drill a 32mm hole and throw in a 2.4kw element for a still boiler.. Same thing applies here. Find me a 100L or more (not a 50L keg that everyone uses, but 100L) boiler off the shelf...

I had the same issues as above ^ with the rollers hitting the side wall if you do up the screws too tight. Once that was sorted no issues at all, its great to be able to throw 6kg in the hopper (the 11L office works water bottle), flick the switch and then go do something else while it cracks...

Bumping again for this week.

Bumping the above ^
