Read the fermentasaurus users group on Facebook, will fiala has stated that keg king will have the spundit valves in stock by the end of April !

Guess what, keg king will be stocking the spundit [emoji15]

Kenf I tried the lauter helix on my grainfather running off the pump pickup and it was a dismal failure, it worked well during mashing but as soon as a whirlfloc was added it blocked when trying to transfer through the chiller to fermenter.

Matt, I had issues with a itc-308 and all correspondence had to be via email through eBay, they are based in China and only have distribution centre in Aus I believe. Communication was a little challenging.

Dusty, a few of the better brewers at the club I am a member of use this water and regularly win comps [emoji106]treat as ro for sure

A lot of petrol stations in Perth have penguin water stations, they’re water is of reasonable quality and only about $6 I believe for 15-20 ltrs you have to supply your own container for the water

Sometimes the pump will get an airlock, with cool water in the grainfather try connecting the chiller up, opening the ball valve and turn the pump on and suck on the chiller outlet hose. If it’s still not pumping take it back to where you purchased it from for a replacement.

Yep I’m in

Purely because the original recipe was meant for 3.8l total volume, it’s a bit misleading by the way it’s worded but if you reread the recipe you will see what I mean. I don’t think any sg calculations are really meant to be taken into account for this mead recipe as it is ancient orange mead.

Put me down for next in line for the tilt if huez bails out, I tipped mine down the drain today and lost it [emoji37]

So apparently it does magically jump out of solution !

I’m only taking advice from a guy that has been in the home brewing game for probably longer than most of us have been alive (Roy at twoc Bibra lake), what I Will say is that when the fermenter was opened after a week the fumes nearly bowled me over and since doing this I’ve had no more issues ...

I had an issue with probable infection in mine, spoke to my lhbs and he suggested I boil the bits I could which is easy enough and the mix up a litre of sodium met and seal that into the fermentasaurus for a week, I took all the stainless bits off before I stuck the met in and capped the bottom...

Chris if you went by the original recipe and start vol was 3.8L from memory don’t water it down !

I left it about 4 months and waited till the fruit started to drop, it was pretty clear when I put it into flagons.

I tried a helix on my grainfather and up until you start the chilling process through the CFC they work ok but block as soon as you chill (I also use whirlfloc)they are about as useless as an ashtray on a motor bike. I persisted for about 6 brews trying different things but went back to the...

Don’t get impatient ronwales, I used mj mead yeast and it was worth the wait [emoji2]

I’m in the market too and looked at the Kegland one and the accuracy is a little suspect, I think from what I have researched you do get what you pay for.

Cancel that [emoji37]
