So, thought I'd give you guys an update on my dilemma. Thanks for all the suggestions re: alternative freezers/ fridges to use. As my space is quite tight, I came to the conclusion that a fridge that fits 5 kegs wouldn't work, as I would have no room for the gas bottle, and would lose access...

Hi Proudscum, I run a similar set-up. I use 1/2 inch silicon hoses with female camlock 1/2 inch fittings on the hoses- male fittings on everything else. I pump from kettle, to march pump, to hoprocket to Blichmann plate chiller to fermentor. Picked up the Hoprocket from the US with the high...

Thanks- same as this one I guess? http://www.appliancesonline.com.au/442l-fi...ge-e442bre.aspx The width looks ok for my tight space. By the way, where is your gas bottle/ how do you run the gas line? Remi

Thanks for the tips guys, That Haier unit looks good Revox, and an amazing deal as well re: replacement warranty. I don't think it will fit for me though, I've got a very tight space to squeeze into- a max width of about 720mm- so even if I showed it in sideways, it wouldn't quite fit. I'll see...

Thanks Burghbrewer, That's a very helpful reply. I had read previously that chest freezers could have this sort of issue, and by posting my question I was hoping to also get a feel for how many other people have had this problem- or whether my experience has been particularly bad luck. From...

Hi, The failure on both occasions was fairly sudden. I noticed that each time I walked past the freezer- it was on, which is unusual as when working correctly it is off the vast majority of the time. Also- when touching the front of the freezer while on- the exterior wall was cool, as opposed...

My 210L chest freezer appears to be on it's last legs...struggling to hold 5C. I had the same thing happen a year or so to my previous chestie (after approx 2yrs of service). Was able to find the same model as a replacement and so could re-use the same collar. Now this freezer has started...

So- thought I'd post the solution. Tried leaky tap on non-leaky shank fitting- tap still leaked. Good tap on leaky side shank fitting...no leak. Confirmed, for the 100th time, that the leaky tap had be re-assembled correctly. Decided to dismantle each tap piece by piece and compare the pieces...

just leaks from the tap, not around any joints. mine have the screw in the front, it's seated okay- spring action on handle works correctly forwards and backwards. i don't have any empty kegs at the moment- have ended up drinking a fair bit more beer tonight than planned as a result of this...

Thanks guys- I've re-assembled at least 5 times now, and did the other tap tonight as well. The restrictor lever ball sits properly in the cone as far I can tell, the lever moves through the full range without trouble, with appropriate movement of the cone whilst the tap is not screwed on. Once...

Thanks Raven- very different to being stuck open/ closed, had that in the past as well. Little hole on underside is unobstructed. Extra bit of info- just ran both taps. With the good tap, I can be pouring a beer, and rotate the flow restrictor through it's full range of motion without any...

I've got 2 chrome Celli's on my chest freezer. They are 3 years old. The left one has started leaking since I cleaned it 2 or 3 months ago (a phenomenal amount of crap came out of the insides). Ever since then, I can't get the tap to seal. With the flow restrictor set to off, and the handle...

happy to second- very happy with mine. have used it as a randall for an ipa, and also as a hop-back- most recently for hop-backing a pilsner with saaz plugs...very promising out of the fermentor. haven't done a back to back comparison or anything like that. agree with schooey with regards to...

I just screwed some regular brass garden fittings on with some teflon tape- took it to the local hardware to make sure I got the right ones....never leaked a drop. Remi

Bump for this evening's traffic, Still not sure what to do here in terms of late additions utilising the hopback... gram/litre at 15-20min or so, and then another gram/litre in the hopback vs all in the hopback. Appreciate feedback from those who have hop-backed... Remi

Yep- I manually whirlpool with a long spoon for a few minutes, and then let it settle for 10-15 minutes. Pump through a plate chiller after that. Was planning on a recipe along the lines suggested by bconnery- 90/10 pils/munich bittered to 35 IBU or so. I have read that a hopback addition can...

Just after some advice. I'm planning on an all B Saaz (Motueka) Lager in the next week or so to make use of the cold conditions in my shed- probably all Pils malt, maybe 10% Munich. I have a Hop-back that I am keen to use for the first time. I will bitter as normal, but am wondering how to best...
