I would not be too concerned about overshoot in the air temp. The air has hardly any thermal mass and just because you overshoot the air temp by 2F it doesn't mean the liquid in the fermenter has overshot by 2F. If we were to turn off the compressor 2F before we got to the set temp you will...

I think we might need to work out what people expect from making the ginger beer from scratch. So far on this thread we have people talking about different levels of processing for the ginger itself. 1. Fresh ginger root similar to what you see at the supermarket in the fresh goods area 2...

The product that we sell would not be any more expensive than the Buderim ginger juice but it would have the advantage of having a more complex flavor and aroma due to the fact that it was already pre-fermented with the ginger solids. Yes if you are lucky enough to get "old ginger" under $10...

The reasons for pre-fermenting the product would be: 1. If we pre-ferment the product it would give customers some really easy options like option 1a and 1c. 2. If we pre-ferment the product it enables us to take one further step which is to run the "sludge" containing ginger and ginger solids...

Morgans are a company that specializes in canning up malt extract. As you can imagine it's pretty easy for them to make a beer kit that uses the malt extract to formulate a ginger beer kit. With that said just because it's easy it doesn't mean it's the best way to go. In my opinion there is...

Yes it's a shame that Plaato are discontinuing this product and support. We have never been super keen on the load cell option to be honest but we are trying to solve the problem using a different sensor to check the liquid level that will be integrated into the keg lid. It's still in...

Yes this is a good point. I would agree that we should probably manufacture something like this as it could be really useful. I will take this to the team and see what we can come up with. It's possible to do this with stainless parts but not with the plastic carbonation caps. You might be...

I have not tried this kit but I will get one and give it a go.

I think we have touched on a few points here and if the ginger beer is too dry it also doesnt taste good so you need to back sweeten it at least a little bit. If you put the keg in the fridge then no need to do anything else. If you think you might have to store the keg warm or you do not have...

It's the first time we have been asked for the hands free clip. It's relatively easy for us to manufacture this but I am not sure if it's really that necessary. As long as the beer is cold enough then not much counter pressure is required. If not much counter pressure is required then the...

When you say it was a failure can you tell me what you did, what ingredients you used and also what was wrong with the end product. It's easy to make a good gluten free ginger beer so I am sure we can find a solution for you.

We have been playing around a lot with Ginger beer here as we have been looking to write a blog on the subject but after doing a lot of testing this is what we have found so far. 1. Massive difference between Old and New ginger. (see attached image). The older ginger as a intense ginger...

How would it make lifting the malt pipe easier? Do you normally use the stainless bar handle? I would have thought that would be easier than lifting the grain bag?

It's been discussed but we do not have a specific timeline for this yet. Would you be more interested in just stainless on the outside walls+back as this would be about +$180 Alternatively would you also want the inside all stainless too as this would be about +$150 Would be keen to get your...

One of the cheapest o-ring materials is NBR. NBR is quite crap to be honest and one of the very common issues with NBR is it's poor resistance to acetic acid. The acetic acid causes the o-ring to swell up. Silicone, EPDM and Low2 o-rings do not have this issue. You are probably going to say...

I am not quite sure what you mean? We do have a profile in Brewfather and this does all the calculations for you so I would suggest using the BZ35 profile in this software. Do you currently use any software?

That is a bit strange. Our website is all with shopify now they look after all this type of thing. Is there any chance you can send me a screen shot of the issue that you get?

Thanks for that. As you have purchased all of these which one would you recommend to a new customer? I am guessing the stainless one is more expensive but is it worth the extra cost? Would love to hear your feedback.

Which model of bench unit do you mean? Can you send the link?

They are slightly too big diameter so you would have to force them into that hole. It might work but it would not be ideal.
