Hi Roach,back home and will check for a reply, Cheers, Ken.

G'day Roach, I would like to purchase your beer engine, im currently on the road and will be home by 3pm Melbourne time and will message you,Cheers, Ken Campbell.

As above, the beasts are awake and starting to clean up the remaining sugars, give it a week and take a gravity, if it is down to final reading put it back into the fridge and start lowering the temp. This will allow it to drop clear, you are back in charge, Cheers, Ken.

Great Hitman AU, now open the insulation during the warm periods in that room and close it during the night, don't be afraid to give it a good stir to equalize the temperature through out the whole FV. I have a heat pad inside my fermenting fridge and a fan to circulate the air plus a...

Hitman, Do not bottle yet as it hasn't finished fermenting, get the temperature of your FV up to 20 degrees and your final gravity should finish around 1.010 to 1.012. Gravity is the best guide to when you bottle not what day of the week that you can fit it in. See if you can find "Siborg", he...

The rest will do me i don't need a chiller, cheers, Ken.

During the 1970's I spent a lot of time installing packaging equipment in beverage facilities and Southwark brewery spent more money treating water to use in the boiler house that for the water they brewed with, we contractors used to empty the chief engineers office fridge each night and only...

Recently got a Brew Bucket and wasn't happy with the way the ball valve assembly sealed, "o" rings don't seal properly on chamfered faces and a curved surface, too many are having leak problems so I rolled up at the Tool Room where I worked before I retired. We have all seen the nuts that are...

I know this is an old thread but be very aware of what strength of Peroxide solution you are using, the common bottle from the supermarket is 3% by volume and is quite safe to use. Pharmacies have stronger mixtures but only at 6%, Peroxide is used in certain industrial applications at up to...

Matt, i had a similar problem and found that the valve in the gas post was not being fully opened by the centre pin in the quick connect, ie a very small ammount of gas is getting through the valve but not enough to fully carbonate the beer, hope this helps, Cheers, Ken.

Hi Mall, i often have violent fermentations when using washed yeast so i just lower the temperature a degree or two for a few days until it settles down, works for me and its easy, Cheers, TOF.

When you weigh your bottle it should be 10 kg's full and about 7 kg's empty, they vary a bit in weight, also check that the reg hasn't stuck, hope that helps.

G'day Doc, please put me down for one of each , Cheers, Ken.

G,day Dave, i was at KK yesterday and these look the Bee's Knees, catch you Saturday, Cheers, Ken.
