I have hops growing now in Perth, Bayswater. From left, Columbus, Columbus, Willemette, Cascade. Not absolutely sure that's what varieties they are because the old fellow I got them off was a bit vague about which variety was where. They are on a N/E facing wall that gets about half a day full...

Foam door should be the default I reckon, with the option of a glass door, as stated on your shop page.

From my experience with fridges, and I am not a pro, but I have seriously researched refrigeration and bought gear to be able to service and repair my own, if the compressor runs but doesn't cool very well inside, probably low on gas, or inside fan (if it has one) is not working, or the radiator...

Or you could convert a fridge/freezer like this!

Eh Mick.......you might want to check the date of the post before you jump in to reply :)

Grolsch flip top bottle red rubber seals work ok as well on the stainless caps.

Hi Darren, I used to use filtered water form my under sink 2 canister set up, but after looking at the local water analysis, decided to use water straight out of the tap and don't detect any taste differences, maybe a bit better foam/head retention. Not sure of your area, but I am in Bayswater...

Dear Kegland, I was not having a go at you or your product, just imparting some practical advice from experience I've had dealing with o-ring seals and potential issues of none sealing, every setup has its own quirks(if any). I actually really like your innovative attitude and focus on the whole...

O-ring seals are good by design, but they have to have smooth surfaces to seal against and a little compaction as they come together, they don't rely on screw pressure. Take the o-ring off and check carefully with magnifier glasses or something similar and use your finger as well to see/feel...

I just use 2 olive barrels, 1 full, 1 empty and a cheap 12v submersible pump with garden hose fittings dropped in from the top. I take the first 20~30L of hot water into a bucket for cleaning with a bit of Tricleanium (TSP) and a few drops of detergent, then put the return hose into the empty...

I wouldn't worry to much about nitrogen, if your brewing method is reasonable, CO2 is all you need. Don't know where you are located, but PTS in Belmont are good for CO2 refills at reasonable prices and usually do it on the spot. Pressure Testing Service 94781160 Fire Safety Equipment &...

If that was me, I'd use a hair dryer very gently playing upon the surface with a small amount of positive air pressure inside to gently bring out the dent. Plastic is pliable as it warms and can be made to do all sorts of things, but care is needed. Have a cooling cloth ready to arrest the...

Hmmm, can't say I'm convinced about that, considering the whole session was about pressure fermenting, however I'll let it go. I'd still like to know if anybody else has used the WLP925 with a pressure ferment and their thoughts.

That utube link on post 630 is Beersmith Podcast #163 and it is very interesting indeed. I have seen it before but kinda forgot about it and was happy to check it out again. Its amazing how information can go over ones head first time round because we weren't ready to receive all of info...

Interesting that White Labs offer a High Pressure Lager Yeast WLP925, anybody tried it?

Well, such passion MHB! I bet you feel better after venting (under pressure of course) that lot! But I don't see you addressing my question, just a put down instead. It would be nice if an intelligent discussion could follow and stay on topic. I don't see why people should be flamed for asking a...

This extract of an article about "Effect of High Pressures on Bacteria" from Oxford University Press might provide enlightenment! https://www.jstor.org/stable/30080457?seq=3#metadata_info_tab_contents Which leads me onto what I think should be an important question for consideration! Is...

Is everyone crazy?....if you had good pressure in your fermenter from the start and all during ferment, then on cold crash it will drop about 5 psi, thats all! I do it all the time, from about 20psi goes down to about 15psi.

I've been pressure fermenting ales for about 2 years solid now and wonder why peeps don't do it. I use 20/20 vision.... PRV set to about 20psi and keep temp at 20C and let it do its thing, pressurized right from the start and you can get away with less headroom too. I've been using WLP001...

Waking up an old post! A very cheap mod for the Gen1 (and others) Fermentasaurus that brings everything up to work height in a chest freezer/fridge using standard garden hose fittings and a small mod on the collection bowl. This could be done neater I'm sure, but I wanted to see if it works, and...
