I am selling up my brewing supplies.
First generation fermentasaurus
Robobrew
3rd generation Robobrew
30 L urn
Five kegs - four Mangrove Jacks and one Italian
Kegking three tap fridge
Small iKegger keg - I think it is 4 litres
Two gas bottles - I think they are 2.6 and 6kg
Two regulators
Lots...
So, I might have the same / similar problem. Old bottle - no probs. New bottle - if I try to purge a keg, the regulator pressure immediately goes to zero and there is nothing coming out of the keg. However, release the PRV and the regulator slowly "regains" pressure (ie. goes back to 14 psi)...
Isn't it true that dry hopping actually can increase the bitterness - I thought I read this on AHB. I have been doing some big dry hops which are mouthwateringly hoppy for a week or so. However, if I don't finish it in a couple of weeks, they seem to be getting less aromatic and fruity, and...

MHB (and others) - having read the Tips and Tricks - i don't understand why we need to re-hydrate outside the fermentation vessel as it says to rehydrate between 25 and 29 degrees. What is the difference in pitching in the fermenter at that temperature (thus "re-hydrating") versus wort in a...
Bought the Robobrew Gen 3 - someone had to. Wouldn’t turn on. Kegland came to the party and sent me a replacement board — no questions asked. The quality is better than the Gen 2. However, the pump return arm is at an odd angle - quality control issue, but no impact on function.
Brewed a 5.5...
