What steps do you take to stop getting any trub into your fermenter?

Yep, this stuff https://www.kegland.com.au/evabarrier-5mm-x-8mm-double-wall-eva-12meter-length-in-bag.html The duotight fittings simply make the build much easier. If you've already got your keezer built, there's no advantage that I can see.

I'm definitely interested. I'll go next in line if @Engibeer doesn't buy it. What colour is it?

Nice bit of work @snails07 I agree with the others posting here. Steer clear of flow control taps. I would go with the flow control disconnects from Kegland along with their 5mm beer line (it's way better quality than the Keg King line that I used when I first set up my kegerator and had all...

I'm using the Brewzilla 65, not the Grainfather. Bearing this in mind, a typical mash/grist ratio for a double batch of say, a pale ale is around 10kg to 38L with a 27L sparge. This gives me around 45L at 5.5%. If you want to brew something a little heavier, say a RIS, then drop the sparge...

Saying it louder makes it more right, right? 'Cos sure as hell, if I'm buying a big ticket, or sophisticated product then I'm definitely going to base my purchasing decision on the opinions of some punter who has a sample size of one to base their opinion on, not someone who has objectively...

I do own a Brewzilla. I've also brewed on a Guten and on a Grainfather. The B65 is better designed, better to use as a result and is a more robustly constructed brewing system than both. My opinion comes from experience, not from watching videos, thanks WEAL. Unsurprisingly, David Heath who...

Didn't take long... Anyone suggesting David Heath is taking payment for his reviews clearly doesn't know him. But of course in your world anyone who has the temerity to say that the Brewzilla is better than the Guten is clearly on the KL payroll. o_O You are right on one front however...

Interesting round up on David Heath's Youtube channel of the best brewing systems on the market as of July 2019. Congrats to @Kegland for getting the gong for best mid price and best entry level system with the Brewzilla 65 and R3 respectively. I'm absolutely certain there will be howls of...

Same heat belt that I use. I've never had problems with it sitting on my fridge floor before, but I've never had my temperature controller sitting at 35C before either. Interestingly, the belt was fine, despite the fridge starting to melt, but I get where you're coming from with cheap...

Really good idea. My heat belt had started to melt the plastic floor of my fridge (I have the fermenter sitting on a tray a few inches above the floor). I was brewing with a kveik and had the temperature at 35. I was lucky it wasn't more serious. Next time the heat belt will be hanging from...

No need to apologise Steve. I've got enough hops, grain and yeast to see out a nuclear winter. If you could add to your next order, that would be great.

I'm in the same boat, but I'll take your recommendation. One 3822 for me too please Steve. I'll look at the other 2 PC releases when I get home tonight.

It'd be a good idea to use some marbles when adding hops o2 free I reckon. Unless you're brewing a NEIPA of course.

Cheers @Meddo Great build and a very informative thread. I'm jealous of your fermenting rig.

You've definitely wasted your money @Truman42 You should buy a FZ and give me your Chronical... ;)

Food for thought Reg, thanks. I do like the Brewtech Chronical, but I really like the ability of the FZ to dry hop O2 free. Does anyone know a way you can do this with the BC? I guess if you could find a way to connect the FZ collection jar to the BC, you would be able to. I've read too many...

I was wondering the same thing. 8 posts and almost all devoted to a Kegland product. Reminds me of several "home brewers" whose only contributions are spruiking KK gear or rubbishing KL gear. In fairness to the KL team, at least they have the decency to post officially as a company (as well...

I reckon you hit the nail on the head right there, but I'm far from an expert. Regardless of what it is that's improving your beers, I'm pleased to hear your beer quality is heading in the right direction. After all, that's what a forum like this ought to be about at its core - not whether you...

@Grok to answer your question, is pressure fermentation better for yeast health, the answer according to Dr Charlie Bamforth, Chris White (and anyone else I have read who is recognised as a global authority) is a resounding no. Pressure fermentation is detrimental to yeast health. Can you...
