Hi stevenk, I leave the CO2 on the system at 100kPa (closer to 90kPa) all the time and serve at that pressure too. Run 3 kegs on tap and up to 5 conditioning/sitting with gas on. Cheers

Mate! Try a partial first. You should be able to use most of the gear found in the kitchen. Not much cost to take that step. Once you taste the partial you'll be itching to go all grain and have a better feel of the process and the gear you need. Did one partial and went all grain and have...

Interesting reading and lagers44 has some good advice. I've run a balanced system for a few years now. 12-13 psi (just under 100kPa). The reg is left as is and newly filled kegs are connected and left for a week or there abouts at dispensing pressure and temperature. No shaking and increase in...

Nice work there Gary Thanks for that

Cheers for that 'tis a good tip :beerbang:

Yep it sure did. This is where I gotta do some work. Disconnected 1 of the 2 elements & let it run on 1500 watt for a while, however 1500 watts wasn't enough to maintain the boil. Have got solid state relays & a controller to work with & now I've seen what happens I can work out some code to...

Good luck PZ ;) Hope all goes well!! Must be the right weekend for it huh? Did my first AG today & all went pretty well. A few things learnt. It's in the fermenter now, a little less than expected, 15 litres, lost a bit when boiling, 3kW element & no lid. Mods planned already :rolleyes:

Happily run a balanced system here with the reg sitting on 80kPa (just under 12psi). Haven't twiddled it in months. I got caught Sammus with my oldest female stainless ballock fitting when the o-ring between the body & the poppet housing let go. Lots of patience was req'd & lots of testing...

Batz... It's father's day here tomorrow & we've (the family) bought one of 'em for our pa. All the bits & holes needed have been put into this fermenter. Come Monday he'll be watchin the yeast working it's magic B) Sorry too far away to fly one over ;)

Looked On Top of the Fridge........ Put Mrs S's keys in a "safe place" before we went on 3 weeks camping holiday 4 years back We're both still lookin' for them keys in that safe place :rolleyes: ::

I've just recently bought SSRs for my planned rig. These beasties are Teledyne P/N 621-15, switching 40A up to 480V ac & the control is 90 - 250V ac. I bought them from an used machinery place for $10 each, complete with the heatsinks, (you need a good heatsink for these guys). They were off...

Cheers Shunty thanks for the tip. Ash Your brew day looks to have been a right whizzer! Great it has all worked out so well, makes it all worth while Cheers

Heya Batz any comments on the wheel & tube type arrangement pump and whether it would be effective Cheers In Advance :beer:

All looks superb Ash :D :D Have been following this thread for sometime as I'm making plans to build a similar setup. Now have a folder full of plans, ideas, pics & drawings. I'm thinking that I'll start off using hoses until i get the process sussed. I've recently got a PLC controller with...

Have got the IPA on tap at the moment, pleasant drop. Cost didn't seem excessive when compared to buying say a Black Rock Pale & a tin of Muntons light malt. Have done several Smugglers, 1x Midas Touch & 1 x IPA and have an Old English Bitter that I'm about to brew. Very pleased with 'em all.

You're welcome guys :) and a big thanks from me to Jazman & you Doc. Cheers!
