I'll have two kegs... I'll PM you

Ha...yes. The fridge not the fermenter. ! I asked the same question a few posts back and got no reply from Kegland. I just bought a 2nd hand fridge from Gumtree that will fit the new 27L fermenter so I’m ready to go when it comes out. I imagine the fermenter will sell very well.

Yes it is: https://www.kegland.com.au/kegland-fermentasaurus-2-27l.html Dimensions here: http://www.kegland.com.au/media/pdf/Fermentasaurus%202%20Uni%20Tank,%20Conical%20Pressurisable%20Fermenter.pdf

I've taken a good look at Brewfather today and it is pretty good. Very easy to use, intuitive. The fact that it's web based and I can use it on different devices is a big plus. The water calculations are very easy to use and very intuitive compared to Beersmith. And I checked my next planned...

Dimensions are on their website

Yes, Brew father might be worth a look. I'm used to Beersmith now and as you say it does look like a product from the 90s but I'm familiar with it and it works well so Brew father would have to somehow something special for me to bother to move.

Hi all I’ve been using BeerSmith 2 for a few years and I’m very happy with it. Works well. I’ve been looking at BeerSmith 3 and the changes/improvements over what I currently already own seem pretty minimal from what I’ve seen. I have no intention of brewing wine or mead and the other...

I'm also looking at kegs and weighing up 2nd hand vs new. Is it fair to say that is probably best to avoid the pin lock style as they are not as popular and so the connects etc later on might be harder to come by? Kegland for example have stopped selling parts for them. The 2nd hand pin lock...

Question for the guys who have one of these... Are you using it regularly when you brew and is it meeting your expectations?

Hi guys I have seen mention of a heating/cooling fridge you are developing that will fit the new fermentasauras. Is this a single fridge size or you doing a small and large one? and do you have any dimensions yet? And any rough ETA (I see mentioned is 'next year', first quarter 2019?, first...

I bought a fairly cheap pH meter from ebay and it works well and so adding a few mls of acid and checking the mash pH after 15 mins isn't really much of an effort. And once you've done it a few times you don't need to measure it every time.

BrunWater will take into account your mineral additions when working out your estimated pH

I assume you mean 5.4 mash PH, not 4.4...the acidulated malt drops PH by 0.1 for every 1%. You can use BrunWater or other brewing software to give you an estimated mash PH which depending on what you brew might say something like 5.7 and hence you can then add 4% to get it to a nice pH of 5.3.

Yes, i think you accept the situation with the 19L pot or you buy a bigger pot.

You can't make 20L in a 19L pot. I up until recently was using the same pot using full volume BIAB. I wasn't topping up and I don't like the idea of a you say watering down. I was only managing batch sizes of 10L or so. I've just bought a Guten brewing system because I'd had enough of the stove...

Yes, I was only thinking of doing it for some smaller batch sizes so I can comfortably incorporate the full volume without, as you say, worrying about it overflowing etc. On my initial batches I've been batch sparging but doing roughly 2/3 of the water in with the mash and 1/3 for sparging...

WEAL - I've come from doing stove top BIAB which of course was no sparge. For my first 3 brews with the Guten I've been sparging but it takes time and is a bit of a pain. I'm thinking of forgetting the sparge and going full volume as you have stated. Does your efficiency drop off much? Any other...

Got any left WEAL ?

Yes, it does look like a bit of grain has got in there. Where can I buy the pump filter? And if I had one of those lauter helix then could I place it over the pump inlet and this would do the same and help keep the pump clear? The bazooka on the ball valve is annoying and I keep hitting it with...

I did a brew this afternoon and as I was chilling with my immersion chiller I tried to put the pump on but it was blocked. I've had this now 2 out of 3 brews. When I was cleaning after pouring out the trub I noticed this (see pic) coming out the inlet hole. I was using a standard shop bought hop...
