If you add the sugar and the malt you will end up with a higher percentage, so I personally would just add a kilo, wether you split it 50/50 between the 2 is up to you. As for the carbonation drops, I keg, but a stout is generally 2 volumes of CO2 and a ale is around 2.5, as you cannot put only...

How much extra work, cost or fesability is it to have 2 doors in front and maybe a half door at the back for access behind without having to move kegs around?

Thanks, no, I have never used car anti freeze, always food graded propylene glycol. With postage from both Keg----'s In Melbourne, even if there is no inhibitors, it would cost less to replace more often. Thanks

Hi, I was just wondering if there would be any issue with using Glycol sold in vape stores? it's 99.7% food grade. I live in Newcastle and it's a lot cheaper to buy a 5Ltr of Glycol from the local vape store than it is to get it shipped up from Melbourne. I cannot see it being an issue, but...

With the whole Corona virus thing, will the Grafton Show still be going on? Thanks Daz

When I first received mine I was holding the lever too long for each roller, and what happened was I was getting micro tears in the metal and thus creating the leak. You will notice if you have done this if the seal has a sharp edge to it. So try only a split second on each action. Daz

Anyone bought the Nukatap faucets yet? Thoughts?

Hi all, I received a Christmas Card from the Grafton Beer Comp crew, on it was the dates listed for this year's comp. I'm sure the organisers will post more specifics later. Thanks.

@KegLand-com-au is there any chance of making some sort of container that has a carbonation ball lock cap bulkhead type setup, so we can put our hops in it, attach the disconnect and hit it with some co2? Just to try and purge some oxygen before our hop charge. Even if it had some sort of...

Count me in too please. I know I'm probably too late.

I personally would do a 30-33% glycol to water ratio. The g40 has a 30Ltr capacity. So 10ltrs of glycol and 20ltrs of water. This would mean that the solution would freeze at -15'c, and allowing for the 8'c differential you can bring the solution down to -7'c to put through the fermenter. My...

It wouldn't, too much glycol and not enough water to freeze would result in not getting anywhere near the cold temperatures you need.

Here is a good chart for working out your glycol ratio. The 20-25'f at the bottom works out to be 11-14'c.

Have you a means of testing what ratio of water to glycol you have in the reservoir? This is important as too much of either can lead to problems. You need the water content to freeze, too little water and your solution will warm up too quick, and likewise, too much water and your solution will...

Looks good, well done.

According to my calculations you would need to have basically a 50/50 solution. Allowing for the roughly 8 degree difference between set temp and the systems allowance/operating temperature

@Snake Eyed, with the unit set at -25.3, what percentage/ratio is your glycol solution? When it did work before Christmas, was the temperature at the preset temp (-25.3)? Also, have you measured what your solution is now? Daz

That sounds like a good idea. What material are you thinking of for the float? Some sort of hollow Stainless or Silicone Ball?

I would suspend it if you can, that way more beer is in contact with the hops
