    KegLand Questions and Answers

    Yep, a kegerator. I don't argue whether it's too big, too small or too old -- it works! My first priority would be 9.5mm to FFL (preferably in both straight and right angle). You say in the duotight video that 9.5mm OD is usually used for chillers or gas lines, but there's no means to connect...

    KegLand Questions and Answers

    Is there going to be a wider variety of duotight fittings available for the 9.5mm OD/6mm ID line? Some of my old beer lines is probably due for replacement,and that's the size of the existing hoses. I want to do a like for like replacement so I don't have to re-learn/reconfigure/recalibrate...

    KegLand Questions and Answers

    Why not just install a screw in fitting? Then the customer can screw in a hose barb, duotight, or anything else that takes their fancy.

    KK - 'Fermentasaurus' conical PET fermenter

    Sodium metabisulphite + water gives of sulfur dioxide. That's the nasty smell that makes you cough when you get a lungful, and can trigger asthma attacks. It's the gas that does the business, not contact with the liquid. As most of us can testify, you do NOT need to touch the liquid for that...

    Kettel hole punches

    No, but you might get away with it. Just like people have gotten away with using WD40 and all sorts of other things as cutting fluids. Try using diff oil on your hair clippers -- she'll be right :noworries:. There are specific substances for different purposes for a reason ;).

    Kettel hole punches

    Yep. Punch, then pilot hole, then hole saw. -- Keep the speed down (for a 48mm holesaw you want 90-100 RPM for cutting stainless). And keep the speed as consistent as you can. A drill press if you have one (and can fit the kettle under it!) is the best solution. -- Use cutting fluid -- NOT...

    KegLand Questions and Answers

    352 for the actual plastic, and 393 for the frame, as shown on the RHS of the picture. The circle with a bar through means "diameter". @KegLand-com-au As this question has been asked before (in this very thread), perhaps it would be worth adding an explicit table of dimensions somewhere in the...

    Is there going to be a public day on the Sunday, as in previous years?

    Recommended grain mill for 25kg grain batches

    Ultimately only you can answer that question, but there are factors you need to consider in making your decision, especially as your requirements seem to be a bit heavier duty than the average home-brewer. 1) Ergonomics, which in turn affects the size of the hopperS. It's no use having a feed...

    KegLand Questions and Answers

    Correct. Didn't realise there was a different standard for measuring sanitary fittings (OD instead of nominal ID), hence my wondering why there was no supply of suitable butterfly valves given how dreadful the 1/2" ball valves apparently are. i will probably stick with the ball valves, as they...

    KegLand Questions and Answers

    So looking at the PDF specification sheet for the fermentasauruseseseseses would give me the minimum internal dimensions of the fermentation fridge? I'm asking because my current ferment fridge is dying, and a) I don't want to buy a normal fridge and have to modify it if I can buy one purpose...

    KegLand Questions and Answers

    When I dismantled my ball valves after 10 YEARS of brewing (including many occasions when the whole system was left uncleaned for days afterwards due to time constraints), they were spotless inside. Not one speck of muck in any of them, including the T-valve. All disassembled onto a white...

    KegLand Questions and Answers

    You keep saying that ball valves are unsanitary, and that butterfly valves are the go. Any chance of you guys stocking some 1/2" stainless steel food grade butterfly valves for us mere mortals who don't need 1.5" tri-clovers? Not expecting much info, but can you confirm/deny that the new...

    KegLand Questions and Answers

    @KegLand-com-au If your new warehouse opens on the 24th, when will "Collect from warehouse ($0.00)" become an option on the website? From that date forward, or will pre-ordering be available?

    KegLand Questions and Answers

    Another warehouse I worked at had the following system. I don't know if your IT and workflow systems are set up to cope with this suggestion, but here goes: Customers are allowed to change orders up until the point where the order status is changed from "pending" to "picking" (or whatever terms...

    KegLand Questions and Answers

    Not expecting an exact address, but can you give us a rough area where the new warehouse will be? Which suburb even? Also, will it be pickup only (at least at first)? Or will there be a wander-in and browse shop too at some point?

    Got To Make Beer For Work Xmas Party

    Whatever you do, don't stuff up like I did a couple of years ago when I did the same thing. I set the toxic megaswill clone to brew, only to discover when I went to keg it, that it had become infected (the only brew I've ever made that has; a message from the Brewing Gods, perhaps ;)?). So...
