    KegLand Questions and Answers

    Yes it will make a difference. 4mm provides significantly more resistance than 5mm. You will need a longer 5mm line OR reduce flow by turning down the flow control disconnect. Another trick is to stretch the tube to reduce ID. See explanation and photos...

    KegLand Questions and Answers

    Th That only applies to a moving liquid. When static, the pressure behind the tap will be the same as in the keg.

    KegLand Questions and Answers

    I have been using the screw driver method on 3 Fermzillars since they were released with no issues. Plastic carb cap is plenty strong enough. I suggest using a screw driver a wide blade. A chain saw spanner is ideal as it can also be used to tighten and loosen the carb caps.

    Reculturing Coopers Yeast - Stepped starter?

    Probably no need for the step up. My current batch started at 1043 and finished at 1006 for 4.7%, a bit above the target of 4.5%. Culture made from 8 CPA stubbies dregs in a 4L starter decanted for a 52.5L batch. I am almost sure this yeast could ferment iron ore!

    Reculturing Coopers Yeast - Stepped starter?

    H Have a look at the video on the Coopers website. This uses 6 bottles for a 600ml starter for a 23L batch. A 1L starter on a stir plate should give you enough. I use a 3.6L starter made from 6 bottles for a 42L batch and always get the correct attenuation and an ale indistinguishable from...

    Whats In The Glass

    For S&W Pacific Ale try slow ramp from 50C to 64 over about 20 min and hold 64.4 for 70 min. Mash out probably not necessary but I always do it, raise to 76C then sparge. Electricity much cheaper than LPG so that is the reason I always mash out. If you have any Voyager left, Pale Schooner or...

    Regardless of your efficiency, a grain mill makes sense if you purchase your base malts in 25Kg sacks.

    Advice on Mega Jet cooker and 50L stainless pot

    If you read the specs it says pots to 220mm, clearly a misprint as the specs also say the width (diameter) is 360mm. Much the same as the ones from KL & KK. I purchased the KL one and sent it back as it was much too difficult to use, constantly went out, useless if even a slight breeze. The...

    Sanitiser in brew, is it ruined?

    StellarSan is mainly Phosphoric acid that yeast will use. Just condition the beer for a week or two at about 20C. The remaining yeast should deal with it. Alternatively bottle or keg condition with some CBC-1. https://www.kegland.com.au/lalbrew-cbc-1-x-11g-lallemand.html
