    Keg tap spout covers?

    The brushes fit in, but dont seal at all. They are designed to be pushed up into the tap and seal against the little rubber washer on them. Perlicks (both new and old) and the KK Intertaps are too narrow to seat them fully. Without being seated fully they still let air up into the tap and...

    Keg tap spout covers?

    Unless you have the basic rear seal brumbys they wont fit. I had a bunch of them kicking around that have now been repurposed as cleaning brushes.

    Keg king / Kegmate kegerator fan mod?

    Thanks mate. Looks the goods. Have you thought about adding a second point mount for a manifold off the lower bolt holes? I think ill have to pull my fan area apart anyway given my fan seems to be failing.

    Pinnacle Kegerator Fan noise?

    Yeah, waiting to hear back from them. Im more interested in whether this is a common issue or just an odd one.

    Pinnacle Kegerator Fan noise?

    Bought in December, so quite new. I believe Pinnacle are the primary importer for this series of fridge. This is the design:

    Pinnacle Kegerator Fan noise?

    Came home yesterday to a grinding noise coming out of the kegerator. Doesnt sound like it is coming from the compressor as it only starts a min or so after the compressor kicks in. Sounds like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=etKVLFGNrPg Guessing it is the fan that has gone the way of the...

    Kaixin Pumps

    This. As an aside mine has been down to 2.5:1 on a really big mash. Viscosity wasn't an issue on that brew.... knocking it off the stool and breaking a hose fitting on the other hand...

    Small Batch Single Vessel Recirculating BIAB (for cheap?)

    Hop spider is just a generic KegKing one with the arm bent to anchor it better to the side of the pot. The cheaper pots really do save quite a bit and with the inner false bottom setup it works quite well.

    Braumeister vs Grainfather vs Robobrew

    Oh like this then: My new budget Grainfather-esque setup I was sorely tempted by the GF after using one and seeing it side by side with the 20L Brau, but in the end the tightarse engineer in me came through and i just built my own.

    Small Batch Single Vessel Recirculating BIAB (for cheap?)

    I setup my Fauxfather for about $300, so a hair more than yours is predicted to cost. Happily punches out 20L batches up to 1.110 (highest tried so far) http://aussiehomebrewer.com/topic/87221-my-new-budget-grainfather-esque-setup/

    My new budget Grainfather-esque setup

    The bottom and top returns are from KK. They are 90deg 10mm outlets. The lower one is chopped in half and welded to a parallel 1/2 fitting so i could get it to seat in my preferred orientation without needing much tape. As for how its going, humming along quite well at the moment. Biggest...

    Keg King Growler Drafto Kit

    Oh yeah, its been fine. Decanted and served, and also carbonated and served with it several times now. No issues with the drafto kit at all. I still use it semi-regularly at BBQs, although at bigger events i take a 9L setup. But on the bike i tend to use my Brew-Tek growlers as they are screw...

    Lactobacillus

    I sour mash, so generally use Lacto P from the IBS support capsules in a corny for souring.

    When is lab glass 'lab glass'?

    Well given it is in the bin already fat chance of that. The $5 kegking 'Erlenmeyer' flask did the same process without a hitch.

    When is lab glass 'lab glass'?

    Only a thread, loose enough to allow air to come in. Second one with the same markings has cracked as well. FFS, why bother paying good money for glassware. May as well get the knock off stuff if you cant heat/cool rapidly.

    Kaixin Pumps

    The majority of domestic equipment is earthed in the same fashion.

    When is lab glass 'lab glass'?

    When it does this under heat/cold change: Labelled as Schott GL45, but certainly not. Unsure where it came from though, i bought up a few different sets of lab ware last year.

    Keg king / Kegmate kegerator fan mod?

    Do you have a pic of it installed? This might motivate me to actually get my 3D printer running.

    Keg King Intertap

    Haven't yet. Been flat chat with other things and only picked it up yesterday. Disassembled and cleaned it before install, minimal swarf that was easily removed.
