“Here is my setup built on a Kegland Series 4 fridge. “ WOW I’m impressed, do you have any pics of the build, info on type of beer engine you used and how you set it up? Great job Ragewood, this is just what I need!

fwiw, I would leave it as it is, why, imo another 100g of komatsu may just swamp it, I like well balanced beers even if they are big beers! Good luck- Cheers

G’day Schikitar; Like most I started off with a cheap knurled mill from fleabay that worked great till it got blunt and stopped feeding.
