Thx WEAL I had something similar happen to my modified Digiboil (water dripping out the bottom). I was convinced that it was leaking out of the vessel it self, in fact so convinced I got in contact with KL only to then discover a tiny seep from the valve leaking through the join between the...

So it is definitely going to happen then?

As a current Safety Professional (that should be retired), I partially agree. However this particular hazard might not be that obvious to people who are not knowledgeable in the area of plastics. You are also correct about the manuals, they tend to be a bit sparse and don’t read well. A warning...

These pieces are rather thin, KL sell a plug cutter that works well with thin stainless- you would just have to widen the hole for the bolt. Or a step drill with WD 40 as a lubricant. Hole saws tend to move about a bit - the pilot hole drill will actually chew out the hole as the saw cuts. Not...

A fair bit with a grinding stone I used a 1/2 inch one - if you can wait that would be better

I actually fitted a 2 inch tri clover to my mangrove jacks fermenter (not sure why but I just did) & KL sells a 2 inch triclover keg fitting- that would certainly work! And they also sell the 2inch fitting and a plug from CP would cover the airlock hole - so it’s doable! I have the parts - might...

Great conversation! And Thanks WEAL but like I said I think I can wait. Been busy putting together my 3v system and tidying up the Smartpid install, so I’m can live with the Guten as it is for awhile Cheers

That’s great! I’m in no hurry as I need to recover my depleated bank account!

Well haven’t been on here for awhile - been a bit busy! The modified Grainfather (frankenfather) is gone! The Digizilla is now part of a 3v system (Thx Cheekypeak) and the Guten fermenter is going fine! My question - is the pressure kit still coming? If not has anyone found a suitable method of...

I don’t have any issues either! Two weeks is usually my window before I get concerned and I can’t remember anyone taking that long.

I removed the PLAATO airlock - I’m not so sure about the oxygen problem. I just gravity fed straight into the keg! I’m not going to attempt a pressure transfer until the pressure kit is available.

Well the first brew went well! Could have dumped some hops after the cold crash, but I will learn! That racking thing made it great to fill kegs and bottles up without using a syphon and the legs made it the right height. Of course because it was at 1degree C there was no foaming. It’s outside...

No sadly i don’t - didn’t think about that until afterwards

No mate just one of the KegKing weldless ones I had on hand. I figured since the thermometer was screw in it should be ok. Just opened up the hole a bit. Well the seal must be pretty good - been cold crashing for a few days and noticed the Plaato airlock was sucked dry! I guess that was a...

Only replacing the thermometer with a thermowell.

True - are you hinting at some close up photos?

SSbrew tech I think. Anyway who cares? Like you said “I’m well pleased”. That pleased in fact that I’m looking at building a bigger fermentation chamber! Anyway good luck with them Reg!

That’s brilliant mate - I certainly plan to buy another! Someone mentioned they were only a copy and the trub would be hard to get out of that outlet - but I had no problems!

Mate that is exactly what I did (after killing my Grainfather). There actually is a wiring diagram for the Klarstein on the Smartpid website (it’s the Guten in some overseas markets in case you didn’t know) it’s a bit confusing because the wire colours are not correct. But basically that’s what...

Actually the mods were quite simple, because it’s a Digiboil the pump is external. So I wired it basically like the Grainfather (but without the thermal cut out). Power lead to the main power switch, twin feeds to the two power switches, seperate feeds to the heaters and finally leads back to...
