    5.7 litre kegs

    Any idea what the fittings are? MFL? Would be useful for cold brewed coffee.

    Keg King One-Way/Check Valve destructive investigation (with pictures)

    Its not so much that pressure is in equilibrium but rather that it is a very small pressure differential which will allow leaking. The manifold isnt leaking at all, you can blame Sodastream for that, and it has been rectified with a ball valve on the connector for the Freedom One adaptor...

    Keg King One-Way/Check Valve destructive investigation (with pictures)

    Metal on metal is par for the course with floating ball check valves. From the exploded design diagram the JG valves are identical. Some will use conical seats, but the majority are this design From what I can tell the black/red KK push fit check valves are a better design for low pressures...

    Keg King One-Way/Check Valve destructive investigation (with pictures)

    Following on from my thread below (which upon re-reading made little sense) I present the destructive investigation of a KK one way / check valve. I had a chat with Juri at KK when i was getting a new CO2 cylinder and asked him the same question, but he wasnt sure on the design of the check...

    One way valve back pressure leaks?

    On my kegerator im struggling with losing pressure out of the kegs. I switched from push in T valves to a manifold with inbuilt check valves. to try and rectify the issue. Still having the same issue though. I havent tried switching off the valves, but that is next on the agenda. The thought i...

    Sodastream hack for mini regulator... ?

    What pressure do the bulbs rate at? Are you sure the reg input can take the 800-1000psi (no matter the adaptor)?

    Different item. The MJ one is wider (15cm) and squarer.

    Aldi specials

    They work well, and probably one of the best implementations i have seen for new users, but still not simple to use. Needs tweaking and fiddling with. Here is half of the fan mount printed. Was all printing well until we had a power out here for a couple of mins, which was long enough to...

    On topic with the Aldi specials: There is home brew there, and currently it is printing a Kegerator Mk3 fan housing.

    Plus its probably worth noting that if you only want to do one or two items, such as the kegerator fan mod then there are 3d printing services that you can use, or you can probably head to your local hackerspace with a sixpack of your finest brew and some cash for materials.

    Aldi specials

    There were two or three in the Prahran store on the weekend. Seal everything fine, i used mine for brewing and sous vide until it fell off the top of the cupboard and broke. Also for the 3D printer if you dont know how to use one already then dont bother buying one. Will cost you much more to...

    Blueberry hefe

    This is my little blueberry hefe. 500g of frozen berries into 20L. Its straight out of the fermenter so no carbonation, but so far tastes reasonable. Perhaps not enough blueberry for my tastes, but should be quite quaffable. I used WLP320 for this one, so no big phenols out there to clash with...

    Keg King Intertap

    I pulled mine down last night and soaked it overnight in Starsan. Gave it a really good scrub this morning and refitted it tonight. Popped a new keg on and somewhere in all of that it has fixed it. So it was either left over machining residue that i failed to clean the first time, a misalignment...

    Keg tap spout covers?

    Its not the length that causes the issue its the diameter of the plug itself.
