    Hi, I'm interested in the mixed gas (Speed Gas) Nitrogen and CO2 bottle. Is this still for sale?

    Spunding set up

    The centre port is for the thermowell which screws on under the lid. So hopefully that's not the issue.

    Spunding set up

    Thanks for the comments. How long do you think it would it take to get to 10psi? It had approx. 12 hours from when I attached the valve and it was till on 0.

    Spunding set up

    Hi Guys First time using a spunding valve so excuse the ignorance. I set up the valve to 10psi using a gas bottle last night (working fine) then attached it to the fermentasaurus. The brew was fermenting nicely (plenty of bubbles in the blow off tube) when I attached it. When I checked this...

    Closed transfer into keg with a coupler

    Thanks for the info Mark re cleaning. I currently remove the spear, soak with PBW, scrub if necessary, rinse, and sanitise. Seems to work ok. My uncertainty was about my current method I use for closed transfers. Razz said my process is fine (ie leave the gas port on the coupler open) if the...

    Closed transfer into keg with a coupler

    So I'm guessing that if I pressure ferment so the beer is not flat, I would need a spunding valve on the gas side of the coupler? If so, do you know why this'd be necessary?

    Closed transfer into keg with a coupler

    Hi Guys I have Sanke kegs that use a S type coupler. I'm not sure if I am doing my closed transfer correctly. Can I leave the gas port open (ie without the "duck bill" check value) or do I need to use a spunding valve? My theory is that the keg is full of Co2 which will be displaced when the...

    Converting from gas to electric kettle

    Why would you need a Digiboil to control it? Couldn't it just be turned and off by the wall switch (or a switch on a power board) and temp control via temp controller? Approx how quick can you boil 60 litres with the 3kw element?

    Converting from gas to electric kettle

    Appreciate your 2 cents worth (reckon with current inflation its gotta be worth more!)

    Converting from gas to electric kettle

    Thanks. I was planning to drill a hole in the side of the kettle for the element and another hole for the thermowell. Control would be via temp controller from Kegland or similar.

    Converting from gas to electric kettle

    Hi Guys, I have a 3v system with a 80 litre gas fired kettle. I usually have 60 litres in the kettle aiming for 50 litres into the fermenter. I'm thinking of moving to an electric system as its quieter and should be easier to control the temperature via an inkbird etc. Does anyone have...

    Using Inkbird to turn pump off

    Thanks. I didn't know there was a difference between the Inkbird type controller and a PID!

    Using Inkbird to turn pump off

    Yep, will be recirculating via the kettle before transferring. I'm thinking auto switching off and an alarm will allow me to get on with my jobs and not have to worry about checking the temp. Does anyone use this method?

    Using Inkbird to turn pump off

    Hi Guys I'm wondering if I can use a PID controller to turn off the pump used for circulating through the plate chiiler when I have reached the desired wort temperature (ie for transfer to the fermenter), and also have it sound an alarm. Is this possible? Or is the standard plug and play PID...
