ironically this is exactly the type of manufacturing defect that iso 9001 accreditation is supposed to eliminate!

Shame the part plus postage almost works out as much as a complete shsnk.

Where did you get the curved washers?

Looking at the brittish cycly thread it seems like the main diff is thread shape (60 deg versus 55). I suspect a slightly smaller diameter thread could work.

correct, its actually a British cycle thread (BSC or BSCy), 5/8 British Standard Cycle 26 TPI

I have found the compressor humps generally severely limit fermenting fridges capacity. Upside downs are good. Thats what i got.

i can only provide anecdotal evidence, i have not bothered boiling it and have not had an issue with over 20 batches, of these some i have pasteurised at about 60-70 deg in winter as our tap water gets down to 11-16 deg and a few litres of warmer water in the batch lifts it up to a temp that i...

with all due respect the accuracy of a 30 psi gauge at 2 psi wouldnt be great, i suggest you use a manometer for your testing.

i have to agree, i throw my dry hops in with the yeast and they sit in the vessel happily for up to 10 days,

how do your shanks attach to your font? i have found that if your font has a curved surface there isn’t much choice but the small shanks with the wave shape barrel, have a look at claypots thread for more details...

there is no doubt the stuff can be messy but as Digga posted it can be tamed to a degree. I use it but i measure out the amount i want in a large stainless bowl and mix it into cool water with a whisk in a large stainless pot before transfering it into the fermenter . I gave up trying to mix it...

fuggles and cascade coming up.

anyone got any detailed pics of where ther have shanks entering the 2" cross section? what methods are available for fitting the shanks to the the font other than the k-loc style connector? can you just weld a 5/8 stainless socket to the font and use a locknut on the shank? can you even get...

Thats more or less what i do.

Set it at 18c if you have the means.

They work better in that range with a lighter spring.

Slight frost this morning however my buds are no more than a few cm long.

Cold crashing is very effective. So much so i dont bother with finnings.

On the original spout i was able to screw a 1/8 bsp nipple into it then screw a home made sparkler on the other end. The replacement will have a parker/swagelok compression fitting to 1/8 bsp and the same home made sparkler. The home made sparkler basically a 1/8 cap with 7 holes drilled in it.
