Hi guys. Just wanted to say a big thank you to the crew at keg king and Will the CEO. My 70lt guten broke down not long ago and after a few discussions with the staff at keg king and the technicians we where struggling to work out the problem. They asked for it to be returned so they could...

Hey yuz. It'll Definitely taste different. I've only used belle saison but saison yeast gives a very unique flavor to a beer depending on what temperature it ferments at. I've fermented at 26c and got a very distinct banana flavour from it. It was different and had to warn people before...

Hey smidgedy I started brewing due to gluten issues. Had a mate who did all grain and found out about a product called clarity Ferm. Got him to brew me a few batches using it and it went down well with no ill effect so started brewing myself. It's a product you add to the fermenter When you...

If the thermostat goes the freezer normally won't run. I've turned a few f&p freezers into keezers most with buggered thermostats and they don't run at all with a broken thermostat. Running constantly and not getting cool must be something else. I had one freezer which had a pin hole in one...

Have you thought about trying clarity Ferm? Don't believe it affects the yeast but breaks down the gluten and I have had a few mates who have no known gluten issues comment on my beer not bloating them like other beers do. Would definitely help If it's coming from an unknown gluten sensitivity.

The adjustment screw is inside the thermostat. I just put a temp gauge in the freezer and ran it until it got to 2c, disconnected the power then pulled the side cover of to access the thermostat. Mine are fisher and paykel freezers they have a small Allen key screw inside the thermostat and I...

I have done a couple of keezers and just adjusted the screw inside the thermostat so that it runs at fridge temp. Was pretty easy to do. Nice job on the keezer. Looks good.

Hey Will. What is the total capacity of the Fermenter King 60L Uni Tank. Just wondering if I can fit a full 60lt batch from my guten in there and still have some head space? Thanks

I believe so. It's what I have always used to clean stuff.

I found a chemical supplier in townsville and get 25kg bags of sodium percarbonate for about hundred dollars. Works out pretty cheap.

I just made a cardboard template of the hole of a corny keg marked it out on the 50lt keg and cut it out with a grinder and 1mm blade. Don't try and cut through all the way at the start just slowly work around The hole till your all the way through. Flap disk and a bit of sandpaper smooths it...

Hey Darren. I've made a couple of pressure fermenters out of 50lt kegs but have converted them to ball lock posts with a floating dip tube. I release the pressure first then cut the centre out of the top so I can fit a corny keg lid in there and use two bulk head ball lock posts. Costs about...

Hey hophead Sent you a Pm.

Thanks Mark.

Hi all, Have brewed my first Neipa which has come out very nice and would like some clarification on the best method for transferring with minimal oxygen so not to ruin it in the keg. So far I have always done the full stellarsan mix in my kegs and pushed it out with co2 before pressure...

Thanks Bird. I guess WEAL simply uses a small silicon bung for that? And how about the mash steps, do you have to push a button to go to the next step or does the unit automatically go to the next step? btw 12-13kg of grain would give you 60L of about 1.040 - 1.045 wort? Think weal runs a...

Hey sjek. I think you would be alright at 55lt plus 10kg of grain. 60lt might be pushing it. I haven't tried as I Sparge But on a 60lt batch I'll put 12 to 13 kg of grain and 45lt of strike water and be around the 54 to 55 lt mark. You might have to block the holes on the malt pipe like wiel...

Hey Kadmium. I know it's a bit late. But this Is my sparge setup. Keggle for a hlt and use a boat winch and a couple of pulleys To slowly lift the malt pipe as the sparge water flows in. Gets me around 80% efficiency most times. I have the 70lt guten and even doing a 60lt batch I can get...

I do rehydrate with wort. Its how I was shown. I've only been doing all grain for 7 months now so I'm no expert. But will consider trying with water next time after reading what mark has said. Tap water around here is low 20s at the moment so will make life easier. mark when...

Hey Paul. I make a starter from some wort and put the yeast in about 15minutes before I pitch. Temps generally around 25 when I add the yeast. I then add the starter to my fermenter with the wort still at about 25 and let the fridge cool everything down. I haven't had any problems with this...
