Hi KL, I was looking at your 58L kegmenter and it mentions a ball lock post lid for pressure fermenting (KL05890) but I can't find it on your site. Can you tell me about that product? Regards, Dave

There is a diagram in the link you supplied. The voltage sensing wires go across the load (heater element) and the current transformer has one of the wires to the load passing through the it's core.

Hi Mick, The hop utilization goes down due the higher gravity in the boil but Beersmith et al will take care of that. Dave

They both seem to be 1" BSP so should be ok

Well done Trent!

Mate, sounds like the start winding could be rooted. Single phase motors don't produce any torque when they are not spinning, hence the start windings to simulate a poly phase motor to get it turning. Have you checked the continuity of the start winding? Regards, Dave

Please tell me about using pure Phosphoric acid as a sanitiser. Regards, Dave

How viscous is the solution and how does the shot pourer handle it?

They are not dangerous if used correctly. Just make sure they are submerged before applying power.

Hi Trent, Tim at Hopdog has used Yacault (sp) and he is currently trying another product which is similar but comes in a much larger bottle. Dave

3.6 kW or more for that volume I recon.

I used an old heat belt in my bar fridge that holds a single 30 L fermenter with an STC1000 in a box on top. The only thing I would change is to have an on-off switch included as when I m not using the chamber I turn off the STC 1000 and leave the door ajar to stop the mould forming but if there...

Yep, it would be the duck's gut to take your brew camping.

Jeez, I never considered that ever happening. Use the FG, so if it were 1.010 then 1 ml would be 1.01 g . That is only 1% so not worth worrying about.

Hi Moad, that looks great but how do you stop SWMBO from seeing that web page?

At 90 min but it is not critical.

You can add a piece of silicon hose to get the output near the surface level.

You also need to know the thread form i.e. flank angle and root & crest shape. You don't need the TPI as you already have the pitch (1.5mm). If you have one (OP) take the lid to a machinist/fitter/tool maker and they will tell you what you need and an probably make it for you as well.

That rat seems to like your beer Kingy, he looks well rat arsed. I've had mates in the back yard like that also.

Don't forget to pry the o-ring out of the lid and give the lid and o-ring a good clean and sanitise. I have lost a couple of cubes but since being thorough with the lid I have have not had any more issues.
