    Having trouble boiling...

    Possibly got the wrong size gas jet in it then, (if its got a screw in jet that is). Are you use LPG or Natural gas? Natural gas jets have a slightly larger orifice than LPG jets, so if you are using lpg thru natural gas jets, you will have the wrong air/gas ratio, as lpg is denser than natural gas.

    Just an update, I had tested my repairs with water, but I hadn't done a full brew day until now, and I am happy to report it works great! The temp read out used to oscillate sometimes by 2 degrees, sorta bouncing up and down and cutting the relays in and out for a bit, and then it would settle...

    Sounds like you need more air to gas ratio, is there no air adjustment?

    STC 1000 Temp controller - Wiring Issue??

    Can't see how the brown and white wires are connected to the compressor and this info is essential, and also need to know where/what the wires come from. Take off the cover on the compressor relay, and take a pic and post it. The power going to Terminal 1(T1) & T2 are isolated from the relays...

    Update! I have rewired a few things and bypassed what used to be the AC Live in tab for the pcb and installed a new fuse (which is only for the transformer used to get 12v DC for circuitry), boofed up some of the power feeds to the relays with more solder (a cheap-arse way of doing it BTW...

    The Corona Virus (COVID 19) Thread

    Well, if things are that bad that you gotta sit on the dunny full time.....,may as well get a chilled keg of beer on gas next to you with a pluto gun attached and drink your nice cold beer, and read a good book while you wait for nature to take its course, and then you can use a squirt from the...

    Robobrew V3 vs Guten

    I don't know why it blew, I was just standing near it and "POP", no fluid ingress involved. Upon investigation, the only issues I can see are a blown board terminal and a glass fuse (that I removed), and a somewhat cooked and damaged power wire with only half the strands attached that is screwed...

    It sounds very much like the Thermal Cut Out button positioned near the heating elements is faulty and needs replacing.This is there to cut power in case it boils dry. You can do it your self if your handy with a screwdriver. Take the old one off and check the specs on it (on the face of it...

    Fermzilla

    My first brew with the Fermzilla I used the plastic carb caps and they leaked, no good at all. I changed to the SS using Grolsch bottle top red rubber seals and never had a problem since. I agree with you about the collection bottle being very difficult to remove, the only way I can do it is to...

    Sodium Per carbonate question

    Your wrong, its a very good sanitiser. A simple Dr Google search will enlighten you! It produces Hydrogen Peroxide (temporarily) which is a very effective sanitiser. Even better result if you use Acetic acid (vinegar) separately afterwards (or before) as well. Combining the two together is not...

    Brew fridge

    Be careful about mixing gases, there are a few different types of compressor oils that don't always mix properly with certain gases, and you can stuff your compressor up, Do some research !!!!! Also, because of flammable gas in the system, you are supposed to have solid state relays on the...
