Expecting: 1) Sometime after the RAPT fridge 2) Features similar to the RAPT fridge - wireless connectivity, smarter control. Hoping: Better pump inlet protection - the false bottom has a pretty loose fit, getting the tolerances on that tightened up would be one approach Proportional power...

Fixed now (and with the message adjusted to something a little better considered to boot). Now, if they could just go through the entire site and edit the rest of their copy...

I use sodium perc for general cleaning stuff all the time - anything that's dirty but not greasy it takes care of no trouble. Stuff baked onto dishes and oven racks, stuff that's been left in the garden and picked up mould or fungus or whatever, cheaper-per-use stain remover in the laundry...

I think they're recommending that you don't soak - less liquid, more action.

I've had hops in the serving keg for months without issue. I have no idea what kind of "decomposition" KL think can happen in a low-O2 refrigerated environment...

Yes, but if they were following best practices (and this isn't even "best practices" so much as it is "the bare minimum for anyone handling logins to any remote system") they can't know the length of a stored password. Now, they could measure it during login, but if they were doing that they...

They do look to be a similar design to the flow control disconnects though, so hopefully their appearance means KL have sorted out the tolerance issues that relegated the previous batch of FCs to seconds...

Some yeasts don't like it. There's no question that that much pressure is a stressor. You can mostly get the best of both worlds by adjusting the pressure to your typical range (10-15 psi or whatever you use) for most of the ferment, then adjusting your PRV to ~30-35 psi for the last 4 points...

Not really, the push fittings are integrated into the body of the spunding valve. You could work around it with a short length of 8mm OD hose and a barb-to-barb fitting, I suppose?

In my house the problem is right at that first step - there's no existing plumbing for a dishwasher or fridge dispenser, so all of the water lines are inside the cabinetry. If I could neatly get it out of that cabinet I could probably make something work.

@KegLand-com-au has the diaphragm pump solution suggested in the carbonation reactor instructions actually been tested? Can you give any more specific suggestions for a suitable pump? My keezer doesn't have access to a mains water supply, and I rent so I can't (neatly) fix that. Using a second...

Presumably you're thinking Hort 4337? I've been pretty impressed with some examples thus far...it does have the mild downside that my brain wants to read it as "Feet".

So, speaking of those... are you still planning to bring in some bigger PET bottles? I've grabbed a few because I'm sure I'll find a use eventually, but they'd be 10x as useful with a 4L amber bottle.

Conversely, I've got a lot of 8mm duotight flare fittings, joiners, and t-pieces here, and I've never been sent a single locking ring with any of them?

Removing the cap is a perfectly good way to handle it if you're drinking immediately. Stainless kegs are a good way to handle storage for months. This seems a reasonable approach for handling storage for anywhere between a long day through a week or two. A weekend out camping, perhaps, or a...

Except that your controller is in the base of the unit, where it is difficult to see and manipulate...wireless would fix that. As would a milk crate, but I'm still yet to find one...

It's not terribly much beer, but it'll nearly all pour as foam and it IS quite a lot of foam. If you're not fussy about "wasting" beer one perfectly reasonable solution is to keep a sacrificial glass near your taps, pour until it runs clean, then discard that and pour yourself a proper glass.

Brewzilla is the same thing they used to call Robobrew - did you mean one of the other products? The MaltZilla grain mill maybe?

For a time, Coca Cola used "Rheem" kegs with ball-lock posts on 1/2" threads. Like this one:

So far as I can tell it's the same thing as attenuation, just flipped around the other way. High attenuation -> Low Final Gravity, Low attenuation -> High Final Gravity. What "low" and "high" mean here, I have no idea. Much prefer brands that give estimate apparent attenuation as a percentage...
