    Is My Kk Reg Relief Valve Faulty?

    Were you talking about the Pressure-relief-valve on the keg If so is it s a KK style new lid and/or PVR. Because the PRVs that they supply are only rated to 200KPa i believe but they sell an upgrade spring that sets it at 300-350KPa (well that was the the case last time i bought one 6months ago)...

    Raspberry And Passionfruit Cider

    I wouldnt add the Lactose with the extra fruit at the start of fermentation There really is no difference in adding Lactose after fermentation finished, personally i would wait and see how it tastes and then add sweetness to taste

    Stainless Conical Fermentors

    It has to be capable of safely holding 200-300kpa and maybe as high as 500kpa if im stupid enough to force carb the fermenter(And yes there are idiots out there). Thats if its going to be a pressure vessel made out of steel for me (and to be safe as a pressure vessel) and im guessing this is the...
