If it were a commercial long-line system you'd clean it with a caustic solution (it's typically some proprietry mix of sodium or potassium hydroxide and other bits, dyed so it's very obviously not water or beer). The stuff is nasty as hell but it will strip off any sort of staining or nasties...

It's pretty hard to go wrong with micromatic. Easy to find service parts for, they're well designed in the first place, ... But they are a bit on the pricey side.

Every time I've tried to throw a demijohn on the stirplate it hasnt worked, the domed bottom kills it. Do the whole brew in a 5L erlenmeyer flask maybe? lol

Sodium percarbonate to clean the lines, starsan to sanitise them. Put some in a keg, push it through the lines, leave for an hour, then push through plenty of clean water to rinse. Commercial beer line cleaner's a very strong usually liquid caustic that gets diluted and run through, which is...

It's owned by air liquide, and they only do rental/accounts. The guy who sold it to you didnt own it either.

But I mean if it's a problem with yeast viability or underpitching, you're still at 1.030... Nothing stopping you adding another pitch and seeing if it'll attenuate some more. Jack the temp up a couple of degrees to ~ 20C, add some more yeast, and see if it fixes the problem. How much yeast...

Calibrated that thermometer lately?

The only reason you shouldnt get in to kegging is if you're the sort of strange masochist who enjoys washing bottles

Can also lay down some fire bricks

I was rather hoping not to need to go down that route, simply because the regulator's high pressure guage is a million times better than the tiny one on the sodastream hose. Oh well.

I dont spose you're selling the type-30 regulator double adapters kegking used to have but no longer do... was part number RET3468. Would be handy so I can use a freedomone and a regulator at the same time

I've got a freedom one, it works great. Was more like $90 delivered, not $150. EDIT - One thing I dont have, that I'd like, is a high pressure type-30 female to type-30 male t- or y- adapter so I can have it and my regulator attached to the bottle at the same time... I could have sworn...

I've usually cut a sheet of marine plywood to fit the existing (bottom) rails, then cut a suitable central support (often from the same sheet of plywood) to carry the central weight on the floor in front of the compressor hump. Have been successful over the years with even 2x 60L fermenters...

Lots of copies on abebooks, which is my usual go-to for out of print books. I have a hardcover of one of his books iirc, and would probably be willing to part with it, I'll have a look-see tomorrow

Incidentally, according to SS brewtech's support when I emailed them a monthish ago, they're releasing a version of their glycol chiller in AUS quote-unquote "soon"

I've used the curly bracton stuff commercially, was fuckin awesome. Had the gas disconnects mounted on the roof of the coolroom, so your hoses were just always up out of the way. But I wouldnt use one at home unless you've got a no-return valve on it personally, the above criticism about being...

is that ex-gst?

and 60Hz, which'll matter if it's speed sensitive (and I assume it would be a little)

Beerbelly did for that sort of money, but I assume given they've taken it off the website perhaps no longer. Shame if so, they looked awesome. The big two things you're missing in your question are batch size and throughput. "nano" to me, in the context I've heard it used, means batches in...

That would be carbonic acid...
