    KegLand Questions and Answers

    Thank you for the excellent explanation of the rationale behind implementing the feature. I was already familiar with the idea and suggested integrating this with a programmable spunding profile well over a year ago. It's great to hear that this is coming our way. I'm sure others will find the...

    KegLand Questions and Answers

    @KegLand-com-au can you please document / explain the Velocity (S.G Points/Day) data series on the RAPT web portal? When enabled, I see no data points for it and not even a scale. My RAPT Pill is updated to the latest public firmware (20230420_054501_98ef1a1), which has a setting for the...

    RAPT Pill

    I'm surprised that the forum management has not required Tjorben to pay up for a AHB Sponsor membership to continue posting about his product. As far as I know, clause 5.2 has been used in the past. Maybe the current lot of moderators are a bit more relaxed than those in the past. Maybe it's an...

    RAPT Pill

    The RAPT Pill battery life is decent. I only charged the RAPT Pill for about 3 hours when it was new, to get it to 100%. Since then, I have done 5 batches, without recharging. Going back through the batch history, that makes it about 80 days of reporting telemetry over WiFi every 15 minutes...

    Hops Quantities

    If you want the result you were aiming for initially, then you should adjust the dose to get the same g/L ratio. If you were aiming for a 25L batch and now have a 5L batch, then the ratio is 5L / 25L = 0.2. Therefore 15g * 0.2 = 3g & your calculations are correct. My condolences on the loss...

    Keg hopping: Hop tube or go naked?

    I've never had a blockage issue with the mesh filter attached to either the end of a normal diptube or to the end of a floating diptube. I've keg hopped with various quantities of pellets, ranging from 20g per keg all the way to 100g+ in at least 10-15 batches. I prefer to keep the process as...

    Oh, I see, you are here for the argument. 😁 🍻 😉

    Keg hopping: Hop tube or go naked?

    Any advantages of using a Stainless Steel Hop Tube for keg hopping versus just chucking the hops in the keg and using a dip tube filter with either a floating or standard dip tube?

    Flavour and Aroma disappear

    The OP did mention a keg (first few words of the post) and it is reasonable to assume that in a home brew situation it is most likely to be a ball lock corny. What is missing, is enough detail to perform any useful troubleshooting. Some of the classic signs of oxidisation are darkening of the...

    KegLand Questions and Answers

    The problem is that by the time I decide to add something to the cart, I get logged out. Here's how it's broken for my use case: I log in. I do a search for certain parts. Perhaps multiple searches in multiple tabs. I open a new tab for each part that could potentially be useful for what I'm...

    KegLand Questions and Answers

    @KegLand-com-au Could you please change the configuration on your web site to keep people logged in a lot longer? I've been trying to put together an order and keep getting logged out and asked to log in again every half an hour or so. This is extremely frustrating as I do my research and try to...

    Off flavour problems solved

    One of the members at Flat Rock Brew Club had a persistent issue where every batch started off very promising but ended up meh when served. After a lot of head scratching, a number of tipped batches and many items replaced, he finally tracked the problem down to an infection in his gas manifold...

    Keg stops pouring after sitting

    Run beer lines away from the heat exchanger plate as contact with it is almost guaranteed to freeze the beer line at some point. If your fridge has a fan for circulating air, make sure it's turned on. If it doesn't, consider installing one, they make a huge difference. If you want to experience...

    What Is An IPA Beer?

    NOT Even a small amount of chlorine is enough to ruin a beer. You want to eliminate any traces of chlorine from your water or any surfaces that the beer will contact.

    Liquid Yeast supplies

    Bit of an update on the Bluestone yeasts. I've had three batches out of the single Bluestone Michigan yeast (Pale Ale, IPA and a Red Rye IPA). First batch attenuated exactly as advertised (73.6%) and produced excellent results. Subsequent batches were pitched on top of the yeast cake or used a...

    Gladfield Black Forest Rye

    I'm a big fan of Gladfield Crystal Rye. It is a real treat in IPAs at around 15-20%. Black Forest Rye sounds like a great alternative, although after looking at the Gladfield website, it seems like it's probably best to use it at about half that rate. Has anyone had a chance to compare and...
