Technically, and legally, it's fine. You don't have the right to work on your home's fixed cabling, but you have every right to work on something that lives this side of a GPO. You're allowed to buy components, you're allowed to assemble them, and you're allowed to plug them in and turn it on...

There's a step in the middle of that where one needs to connect a 3/8 fitting to a 3/8 fitting using a hose or joiner that can withstand mains water pressure. Any advice on achieving that? I have doubts about whether the 9.5mm beer line would handle the pressure.

What's the easiest way to connect the 6.3mm PE water line to a garden tap (which I think are 1/2" BSP)? Looking to clean up my water filter setup.

Use a carbonation cap, a bit of beer line, and a push-in pressure gauge to make yourself a gadget that can display line pressure. Turn the regulator to its lowest pressure, attach the gadget to your gas disconnect, and turn up the pressure until you reach the desired level. Voila. Or, if you...

Looks like their convention is to list the malts in descending order, and on their other beers they list "Pale" first, which implies this one is majority Munich, which is pretty weird. Maybe it's just an error, or maybe they distinguish between "Pale" malt and "Ale" malt, and just leave the...

I bought a bunch of pass-through shanks (discussion here: https://aussiehomebrewer.com/threads/pass-through-shanks.99289/ ) for this purpose - they work great. I have a line-in from my primary regulator coming in the back off the keezer, and 3 service lines from my secondary regulators...

Are you interested in Cluster 16, which is more of a Belgian Quad with some vague leanings towards being an IPA (16% and only 52 IBU), or Cluster 18, which is a frankly insane sextuple IPA at 18% and 160-odd IBU? You said 16, but you should know that it's really not a Quad IPA at all. At 16%...

That cannot possibly be the right link for Fermentasaurus details ;)

KL02172 has maximum inlet pressure of 150psi - the unregulated output of a sodastream bottle will exceed that significantly.

Yeah, it's tricky. It helps to do it outside the keg a few times to put a slight flare on the silicone. Other than that, no tricks, just keep trying until you get it.

It's fairly easy to get out if you work a bit of strong string in behind the ring.

Let it ride another day - with only simple sugars and fruit juice you should expect roughly 100% attenuation. It will quite possibly get down slightly under 1.000

Yeah, I tried cutting down a faucet shank but I wasn't happy with the resulting sealing surface. Could have cleaned it up but I needed several more and the idea didn't appeal. I've ordered 4 for my keezer - 1 for gas in, and 3 to pass each of my regulator pressures through to ball-lock posts on...

There's an enormous number of these kegs sitting around in the US and Canada from when they were used to distribute postmix soft drink syrups. They retired them all back in the 90's but they're basically indestructible so they're still around. Most often when you buy them secondhand they still...

Thanks, that's perfect - the eBay ones will work great for me since I'm using them for gas.

Anyone know where I can buy a few pass-through shanks , like this one? Flat on both ends and fully threaded with no faucet crown? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0064OJZ4I/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20 Looking for a neat solution for putting some gas posts on the front of a keezer, these would be...

How does the shroud come off?

One of mine arrived stuffed, threw an o-ring out the side as soon as I tried to adjust it. The other one seems great!

Ball lock fittings aren't very good at that, though - generally it's quite easy to get a disconnect onto the wrong post, and then it's tricky to get it off again. For cases where the design does a good job of preventing you from hooking it up the wrong way (like pin lock posts) I totally agree...

Worked for me earlier today. Added 2 units of the Perc and 2 units of StellarSan and it deduced $16.90 from the total.
