It's a good tap tbh. Got the black ones and they look and function fine so far. :) Would be better if they included springs, but I had some Ultratap (I think) ones that fit okay.

I've found decent extract still requires some steeping of specialty malts, if not partial mashing. It still (usually) requires a 60-min boil. So the only time-saving is the mashing. Call it 1.5 hours or 1/3rd of the brew day saved, but I still have to wash up all the same stuff. Might as well...

It’s not hate. It’s just simply demanding businesses operate ethically and abide by consumer laws. The issue isn’t “some tool” copying and pasting reviews; it’s KL (as they’ve admitted) posting their own “placeholder” fake reviews for SEO optimisation. Maybe I’m more passionate about honest...

I got screwed by the same advice when I started brewing too. Bagging the hops since about batch 3 has made a huge different to how smoothly everything onwards has gone. Custom voile bag with a drawstring, boiled for a few mins before adding hops has worked a treat. I'm soon going to skip...

Yep. Should get some screenshots of the posts admitting to illegal activity. To anyone still shopping with Kegland in the meantime, thanks for making online shopping shittier for everyone by supporting dishonest business practices. People like you are why honest consumers get screwed in buying...

Right on. Most replies since have been "hi, how can I spend more money with you?". At the end of the day, people get the business model they deserve, I guess. One step closer to the Chinese model of fake specs and safety standards.

One.

1. My batches are 7.5 L anyway. 2. Fits nicely on hump of keezer, meaning I can fit more kegs at equal level with a false bottom and save my back. 3. Smaller batches mean faster beer turnover/less time spent drinking the same thing. 4. Due to 1 and 3, a half-size keg lets me waste far less CO2.

Hate to say it, but I think OP took the money and ran. Can't get a refund on personal PayPal payments either. :(

Banggood >>>>>>> Ali Express...

Has anyone heard from OP?

No, it isn't. We're lucky that we actually have consumer protection laws in Australia, and following them is far from crazy.

Catching up on this thread... Hahahaha, what the ****? You should have 100% legitimate reviews. Placeholder reviews are illegal. Dodgy and illegal business practices justified for helping your SEO is ridiculous. If I had any idea you guys were pulling this ****, I would not have placed a...

There's absolutely nothing wrong with proving brewing yeast to check viability with a tiny bit of sugar (or wort). I used to do it occasionally when I was doing 5 L batches and only using 1/4-1/3rd of a dry yeast packet and storing it for weeks at a time in the fridge. It should froth up just...

Hi Owyn, any updates on the parts arriving? Thanks.

Beermonster, I tend to agree. Invariably, in a lot of such threads/discussions, pitching more yeast doesn't fix the issue. In all-grain recipes, it's usually from overshooting the mash temp. In K&K, it can be from way too much maltodextrin. Not quite sure what happened in this case. 1.020 isn't...

Reading this thread with great interest. I have the BYO Big Book of (300) Clone Recipes, and don't really trust the recipe due to its description saying the beer has chocolate malt, and then not including any in their grain bill (as mentioned on the previous page). Going add pale chocolate malt...

Cheers mate. Please keep us posted. Frustrating with stuff from China – either comes in 2 weeks or takes 2-3 months.

It's the median lethal dose of a substance, i.e. what dose would kill half a given population. My post above was somewhat tongue-in-cheek, and there are really too many variables to work it out. I was just pointing out that it's so dilute that it won't be a health hazard.

It'll work, but it's very difficult to determine the hop isomerisation accurately. That said, if your system is at least consistent/repeatable, you could work around it and adjust up and down. Have you tried boiling with a lid covering, say, 2/3rds of the top? What about a neoprene (or Kmart...
