Totally depends on the style of keg, IMO. US Sankey style has a circlip to remove, which can be tricky, but should be straight-forward with an appropriate tool. European Sankey can be a challenge when it has spring-loaded locking clips, but if not, it simply unscrews from the keg and you can...

Is there a particular reason you guys aren't connecting both ends of the spring filter? I'd think performance would be much improved. And if there's substantial excess, orienting it like on the Helix site:

I'll be using one of these in a 1-vessel system i'm designing, so I've been doing a lot of reading over the past few months. The issue with your specific installation is definitely that the spring lacks curvature to open it up. In the image you posted, the end of the spring is perfectly...

I've got a Marzen sitting in kegs right now with temp pretty constant at 20 C. It was kegged on May 31st and won't be tasting until October. Kegs were purged prior to filling close to the top, sealed with 30PSI. Two nights ago I started drinking in earnest a cream ale I kegged at the same time...

Ozark is Netflix's latest dramatic series, should be on all Netflix global local sites. Pretty good. Jason Bateman, Laura Linney.

Go best of both worlds. It would be very easy to disconnect the Guten's own controller and wire up SSRs and plugs to allow using a Grainfather Connect Controller. The GF mobile app & controller firmware will do their business as usual, perfectly fine on your larger vessel.

Damn, beer spam.

Ask if they can do greater than 2400W by going 3 loops. Otherwise, you might check prices on a Blichmann BoilCoil which would offer about 4500W for a 50L pot (13.4" outside diameter for the element). The BoilCoil comes with all mounting hardware, long power cable and L6-30P plug (which you...

THAT changes the pressure required to achieve the same volume of CO2. :) You'll need a higher pressure for warmer keg(s).

Gravity drain or pumped?

Well.. Technically, sink is a verb in this case, not a noun. "going down below." Sync is also a verb, but short for synchronize, which isn't what a heat sink is for. :)

I'm eager to see how your controller pans out, especially on the front end. As far as I'm concerned, the back end control circuitry can always come in an easier to install package for novices but the most difficult and time-consuming part of a really polished solution is what most people ignore...

Thanks. The top will take a sort of bar with a hole in the middle that fits over the center rod and will lock to the lift lugs of the malt pipe. The idea here is again, just drop it on, and a small turn to lock. When the malt pipe itself is unlocked from the kettle, this top bar (it'll...

No tube has been made yet - I thought I'd get the gasket beforehand, just in case. I don't know of any retail-type places to get rubber/silicone gaskets here in Canada. :) I don't think I'd even be able to find a pressure cooker seal like the ones linked locally, though I did find a 14" model...

I'm in design phase right now nailing down how I'll accomplish each of the feature goals. Basically the devil's work now, finalizing the smallest details as I fleshed out the "big picture" a little while ago. I'll leave myself wiggle room in case things have to change once building is under...

I plan to make (have made) a custom malt pipe, taller than the original BM 50L, but matching it in diameter. It'll hopefully have an internal groove like the original, but sitting a bit lower. It'll be used with original BM silicone seal, original filter plates and BAC screens. The BAC spring...

Nice improvisation. What length did you cut the spring at and is it the smaller diameter one (~17mm) or the 3/4" version?

Did you put together your own copper+silicone outlet port/spring adapter and use BAC's spring?

Thank you! I'm going to buy the original filter plates but I need to fit them on something else that I'm making. Looks like it will be perfect, worst case scenario I'll increase the ID by 0.5mm if needed.
