Looks awesome!

I just did an extra long soak in sodium perc, and went at it with a bottle brush

I used a el cheapo Windows tablet about a year ago with Beersmith and had issues, can't remember if it was this one. Suggest just using a laptop sorry. That's what I ended up doing.

If you're going to put the taps on a font through the roof of the fridge, make sure you check for coolant lines before drilling.

Great price. Should sell quickly!

Yep same! Highly recommend the Parcel lockers. Always on time, doesn't end up sitting in a post office with a card in the mailbox, and can go pickup late at night if I so desire. The fact I haven't had a single parcel go missing confirms my suspicions that someone is getting into my mail at the...

Finally reporting back. Had 2x intertaps on the kegerator for 2 months now and happy so far. Easy to take apart and clean (make sure you do this after purchase, the insides had oil everywhere when I bought them) No leaks, Spout easy to unscrew and clean. Having only used cheapo crap plastic taps...

Thanks for the advice. I'm cautious to add stuff to the keg, but since it's barely drinkable I'll give it a whirl!

Time to report back! Ok. I'm starting to think it's *not* due to the gladwrap sorry guys. I'm pretty sure its my US05 yeast. It's probably been mishandled and thus I've been underpitching. I bought 10x at one time from a retailer I won't name and have been using it for brews over the last few...

Yeah certain its acetaldehyde. Have done fault/taint tests before. Def not carbonic bite, I'm experienced with that and the latest affected batch was bottled in PET bottles. Sick of apple beer so next batches will be with airlocks AND liquid yeasts, if either or both fixes it I'll be happy.

From google it might be the pressure that causes it. The gladwrap does tend to expand like a balloon. I don't prick a hole or anything. Will report back in a few weeks after 2 more batches.

Holy crap, its about the time I got new fermenter and started using glad wrap that the issues started... Just did a Google and found a few comments like this. Getting rid of glad wrap ASAP now!

Made some big starters with the liquid yeasts,hopefully that helps. Maybe I've got dodgy or old US05. Expiry is mid next year but maybe I've been underpitching if it was stored incorrectly prior. (I always keep my yeast in a 4c fridge)

porter OG 1059 - US05 - green apples - FG 1012 pale ale OG 1055 - BRY97 - no apples - FG 1011 Previously beers with acetaldehyde were 2x pale ale and an IPA using US05. Since these were bottled this time, I've got the porters in a warm spot >20c so hopefully after fully carbed the yeasties can...

Bump. So 2 batches on, both bottled. One is great but the other is green apple city. So definitely not to do with kegs. I do not keg/bottle early which seems to be the biggest trigger. Both these beers spent 4 weeks in the fermenter. It's driving me nuts as its not consistent. However I've...

Tinkering is fun, but if space, time and cleaning is a concern jump straight into a braumeister :-)

Diactetyl would be my guess http://byo.com/hops/item/546-diacetyl-homebrew-science

Bought a couple of these taps. Seem good quality. Will post some feedback once Ive used them a few weeks.

Using a bronco tap now...all i have. About to buy taps so will test that too.

Yeah its definitely acetaldehyde. Green apple. Beer tastes fine otherwise. No vinegar. Admittedly i havent been tasted from the fermenter...ill have to start doing that. Going to try natural carbing. Cheers
