    KegLand Questions and Answers

    @KegLand-com-au the KCl pH meter storage solution containers are pretty flimsy. I get a lot of crystallsation (have gone through about 3-4 of these in a couple of years). Is this OK or once they crystallise do we need to discard and get fresh solution? Part number is KL04183

    Attention Brewery Owners

    I'd be VERY interested in this! thank you I appreciate you offering this up. In addition to the above points for discussion I'd also like to no about how prolific decocted Helles are in Bavaria as I've always heard conflicting information until recently when a pretty reliable source (Jamil...

    Attention Brewery Owners

    What about homebrewers? Can you help us make the perfect Helles true to style?

    Diagnosing gas leaks

    Which metal ones? I've used the cast SS type for many years and found them to be the best. I recently forked out for one of the "machined" SS type and plan to use that and see, but at first glance it doesn't seem to be any better to be honest. I know with the cast SS ones you should nip them up...

    Diagnosing gas leaks

    2.6kg cylinder has ~1.4 standard cubic metres (1400 Litres). Carbonating at 4.5 g/L and closed transferring at a low pressure (you’ll use more gas volume overall if running at a higher pressure… Carbonating 5.5 kegs = ~500 L of gas Closed transferring 5.5 kegs = ~200 L of gas. So no, not...

    Diagnosing gas leaks

    That is correct. To hasten testing for leaks, I recommend an isolation valve immediately out of your regulator so you can isolate downstream of the regulator, then you would see immediate pressure drop if there is a leak (ie. within an hour, seconds if it is a big leak). The smaller the volume...

    Pub Gas Sydney?

    Commercial brewers carbonate their beer with pure CO2. The reason CO2:N2 (ie. "Cellamix" etc) gas mixes are used is because you need substantially higher pressures to push beers through larger ID tubing many many metres through pubs, think about big hotels with pokies bar, sports bar...

    KegLand Questions and Answers

    @KegLand-com-au what plastic is this kegmenter/unitank lid made from? It says "Industrial Plastic" but you are normally more specific with that on your products... am concerned it is something riddled with BPA or other non-food grade components...

    Brewery control options

    I'd highly recommend not jumping the gun on something until you have worked through your objectives with the project/system. What are your non-negotiable features, what are the nice to haves and what are the things you don't need. Overlay that with the options and it should become apparent which...

    Brewery control options

    Your Auber will unlikely be compatible, if you want automation you are best to but into BruControl hardware, or Raspberry PI / Arduino (steep programming learning curve required with that, I opted out on that basis)...

    Brewery control options

    Surely the controller can be fixed given likely just one component has failed? I'd look at refurbishing given you spent all that time and effort. I've built one myself and it is going to come with me to the grave....

    KegLand Questions and Answers

    Hopefully an isolated failure and noone was injured... Is it being returned to KL for analysis/root cause findings?

    KegLand Questions and Answers

    Yep I got the first batch but it was returned to address some level-sensing issues (which are now resolved with the update). All good glad to know I'm using the tubes the correct way around (lucky guess!). For others playing at home I really recommend the can filler if you are canning and...

    KegLand Questions and Answers

    Upon checking even the OD’s are different, as are the lengths… Left tube 6.3mm OD x 3.6mm ID x 350mm Long Right tube (Gas?) 6.4mm OD x 4.4mm ID x 375mm Long

    No, the INTERNAL diameter of the tubes on my unit are different.

    KegLand Questions and Answers

    @KegLand-com-au the Can Filler now has two different ID sized SS tubes for the Gas and Liquid line but they appear to have the same OD. Which size is for which? I assume the smaller ID is for the beer (to provide max back pressure/least foaming)? Is that correct?

    Printing Beer Can Labels

    How do they go in an esky getting wet etc? I have used many Avery labels but the inkjet ones typically break down very easily when wet from condensation etc. Laser heavy duty ones are amazing but exxy....

    iSpindel Question

    You just click the “attach” button for which device you want to report against a specific batch. If you deleted it completely from the devices page that’s not the way to do it. But if the latter then re-adding the token and information to the Brewfather setup page should see it become available...
