I just made a version, not exactly a clone, it was awesome although i added a kilo of dextrose in the primary fermentation because i thought the gravity was a bit low, it wasn't and i mis-interpreted the info i was given. My recipe was 2.25kg of Briess Pale Ale malt 2.25kg Barrett Burston Ale...

Makes sense with the 30psi unit, something i didn't consider. With the FC disconnect are you re-designing the disconnect or implementing it with the new Nukatap? i remember reading that FC taps can be more of a hindrance than help in some cases, it'll be a bit odd if you are going to go back...

I was thinking more bleach and vinegar which can be a good cleaner but very dangerous mixed together wrong. I have found that chlorine based Miltons was the best at eliminating odours. I had an extract batch skunk once (i tried to re-use coopers yeast but mucked it up somehow) and no matter...

Ah... thank you, that makes sense. I did re-enable the config mode a few times and it always connected. Also, i'm guessing it does but still worth asking but does this have proper charge protection? i bought a 18650 battery from Batteryworld it has an integrated protection circuit, having...

@Ferment8 I think i might have a similar issue with my iSpindel as what you had, i can get to the default 192.168.1.4 IP when its in config mode but once i put it my wifi details and hooked it up to brewfather, it spat out a local IP, BF sees it and logs it successfully but i cannot connect to...

@KegLand-com-au Are you going to get those FC ball lock disconnects and the 0-23psi mini gauges back in stock?

I think i have a neodymium magnet around somewhere, if not bunnings sells them fairly cheap.

That's a great idea, might buy a cheap one from ebay and test its powerful enough to hold up a hop sock.

I sort of understand that graph but the only thing i don't understand is how long it takes to get it to a certain carbonation level. Say i want my XPA clone i have just brewed, i want it to 2.55 (i like my beers fizzy) units at 2°C, how long would that take to get that point?

I was thinking of using some magnets with a hop sock to dry hop during a pressure ferment, glue some string on the magnet in the fermenter so it doesn't drop into the wort. Connect the two magnets before closing the fermenter up, hook the string put it up the top so the krausen (hopefully)...

Awesome, i'd definitely buy one if it works.

You aren't using a scourer pad but are using a toilet brush? this with a harsh(ish) chemical might be the reason why the plastic in your FZ has gone the way it has. Have you contacted KL about this potential fault? the reason there isn't a "recall" is because they don't know about the issue...

Are you using a normal cloth or a scourer sponge to clean it? maybe the combo of trisodium phosphate and detergent is causing to plastic to soften and cleaning is roughing up the surface.

I just found my heat belt and i'll give it a test later today in my brew box. If it works ill need to get some zip ties and secure it properly and rewire the light fitting to a proper power point.

That is also another great idea, i think i have a heat belt laying around somewhere, i need to dig it out and see if it fits around the allrounder base.

That's not a bad idea, i'll have a look into it, i have to rewire the light as its a bayonet fitting and most of these are Edison screw.

No not really... i have been using this box with incandescent bulbs in them for years and never had a beer skunk up that wasn't my fault.

Hi @KegLand-com-au I suppose i should have asked this before i bought one but can a Fermzilla AR be used in a brew box with a standard incandescent bulb as its heating source? i have my temp controller set to 21°C as i mostly brew ales so its not overly warm but iirc incandescent bulbs emit a...

This may be an issue on your specific device, i have the latest version of chrome, lastpass extension (and a few others like ublock origin) and the website works as it should, search works (as best as it can) and the box disappears when i click out of it. My only issue with the site is that...

Yeah i know, should leave pissing matches well enough alone, although it is fun to kick the hornets nest every once in a while. I don't plan on pressure fermenting yet but it would be something i will consider further down the line, a FZ or FK seem pretty decent doesn't matter what flavour...
