    KegLand Questions and Answers

    Every place I've ever lived has had 3/4" laundry taps...I think the hookup on the washing machine side might be 1/2" but that seems like it would be a super awkward spot for a diverter valve.

    Fair, but I can think of reasons they'd want to keep the bore open (for example, if you wanted to use it as a hop dosing port, that would be marginally more likely to succeed at 3/4" than at 1/2") and they're very unlikely to make this part in two sizes

    Kegland do stock a stainless 3/4" to 1/2" reducing bushing, so if they built a PCO ball valve with 3/4" BSP it wouldn't be too hard to adapt to the common 1/2" brewery fittings.

    The RAPT fridge has never had a delivery date, though? And they've been pretty clear in this thread that it's still in development. It would be helpful if the website distinguished between "Upcoming" (i.e. has never yet been in stock) and "Out of stock". It would also be helpful if the "new...

    Been and gone I think, I've got one as the tap on my fermenting fridge cos I was happy to save $3 for something that lives in the garage

    You guys need to quit hiring cowboys....this is a ******** excuse from someone who doesn't understand the product they're selling well enough to fix it for you.

    They go well with the gibberish blog posts, also plagiarised, that appear to exist only for SEO on the term "king keg" (for obvious reasons): Consider A Beer King Keg System

    You could get away with pressurising, pouring a few, and then repressurising if the flow gets too slow and at the end of a session. But you'll definitely need to have gas NEAR the fridge if not in the fridge.

    Just got my soda water reactor lid set up, seems to be working pretty well! I didn't buy it originally because I don't have any practical way to plumb water to my keezer permanently. But I still wanted to make it work, so I was looking into the 2-keg and pump solution, but I thought, "It'd be...

    It comes with a diverter for a laundry tap, which are the same size (19mm / 3/4" BSP) as most garden taps. Alternatively you could buy a 3/4" to 1/2" BSP reducer and then build up whatever adapters you need to get to 6.5mm from standard brewing fittings - I went this path to convert my garden...

    Look for my post a few pages back, I ran the numbers on a similar statement and it doesn't quite work that way.

    I don't have any problems with plastic fermenters or even plastic pressure vessels - I have a couple that I use for split batches. But the Fermzilla design with the big mouth has definitely had issues with splits in the past. Hopefully the slightly revised shape of the tanks they're shipping now...

    German breweries have performed natural carbonation by spunding for decades. It's a completely reasonable thing to do. I'm not sure I'd do it in plastic, personally, but I carbonate every batch in my kegmenter by essentially* sealing the vessel for the last 3-4 points of fermentation. * I don't...

    1-2 psi. Probably not enough to worry about unless you normally keep your spunding valve set very low.

    You're not wrong. The confusion arises because we're comparing apples and oranges - headspace equilibrium pressure for a given level of carbonation vs behaviour of gas at different temperatures. The two physical phenomena don't react to temperature changes in the same way. Furthermore, the...

    No it doesn't? 12 psig at 20C is 26.7psia at 293.15K 5C is 278.15K The absolute pressure will reduce proportionally to the absolute temperature. (278.15/293.15) * 26.7 = 25.3 psia = 10.63 psig In reality you'll see it read a tiny bit lower than that after cold crash - the increased solubility...

    KegLand Questions and Answers

    It looks like maybe they don't advertise specials on out-of-stock items anymore? It looked like the NukaTaps had jumped up in price when the new site first came online, for instance, but when they actually came in stock the same special as the previous site was restored.

    These bugs appear to be caused by the LastPass extension. Final update: I have been able to work around this issue by adding Kegland.com.au as a "Never AutoLogin" URL per this page: Manage Never URLs Make sure to add it as "kegland.com.au" rather than "www.kegland.com.au/" - the first will...

    Search is just totally broken for me, it glitches out at random intervals and if I do manage to finish what I'm typing before it glitches it shows the results for a split second and THEN glitches..

    Is it? I mean, it's garbage, but it's garbage in most of the same ways as the old one. The search sucked, it still sucks. The categorisation was haphazard and hard to intuit, and it's still that, too. But the only feature of the old site I miss is the large New Products feed on the homepage. The...
