KegLand Questions and Answers

[AlexB]

Thanks Daz, I may end up getting them after all. Hope Kegland sorts something out because there definitely a bit of a hole in the market when it comes to grain storage specific to homebrewers

Unfortunately ubuy is just shipping from the US so it's a no-go (that's for a single 60lb vittle vault)

Please @KegLand-com-au bring in a container load for us!

 

[DazGore]

That sucks... Fingers crossed on kegland

As mentioned above I also got mine from Costco. They're great. Bought 3 and wish I had bought an extra 1-2.
When they sit normal I find 25kg JUST starts to leak out when you open it, unless you are able to shake it and push some grain up to the back so it's on an angle.

Do you remember how much costco were flogging them for?

Pretty sure it was about $49

Here’s a new 25kg pale ale sack in there

@KegLand-com-au Any idea of when your type A camlocks are back in stock? - https://www.kegland.com.au/ss-camlock-type-a-male-x-1-2inch-bsp-female-603.html

I'm looking to finalise an order and this is one of the final pieces of the puzzle. Cheers

These types of containers are bulky to keep in stock but perhaps what we could do is a bulk buy and get a container of them just as a once off. We will look into it and get back to you.

Another question for Icemaster G40 owners. Did yours come with caster wheels? I've just noticed all the videos have always shown wheels, but mine didn't come with any. If they don't come standard, are they available for purchase @KegLand-com-au ? I couldn't see any on the website.

Mine came with castors.

Yes if you purchased from some time ago then the castor wheels are not included. With that said now all the G40 units come with free castor wheels and I believe this has been the case for more than 4 months now.

If you have one of the older models the other thing is the base may not even have the female threads for the castor wheels to be fitted. So if that is the case you can use self taping screws into the underside of the G40.

So i would use these screws:
https://www.bunnings.com.au/buildex-10-x-16mm-ebony-hex-head-hi-teks-metal-screws-100-pack_p2400120

Then with the castor wheels I think these ones are really good quality so I would recommend these:
https://www.kegland.com.au/heavy-duty-castor-wheels-s4.html

However if you want a cheaper set of castors we have these ones which are actually the kegerator replacement castor wheels. These ones normally come free with the Series 4 Kegerator. So if you are on a tight budget you can get these but they simply are not as good as the 100mm heavy duty ones.

I would like to use this false bottom in a mlt. How thick is the false bottom? How much wet grain weight can it handle?

https://www.kegland.com.au/robobrew-65l-gen3-false-bottom.html

The thickness of this false bottom was increased to a fraction under 1mm (going from memory). As a result it's still not what we would consider suitable for putting grain directly on. This particular false bottom has been designed to filter hops and the incidental piece of grain that comes out of the malt pipe. The idea of this is to protect your pump from blocking. I would say it does an excellent job of this too and it's one of the reasons why people like the BrewZilla units.

Firstly the weight of the grain can be considerable and also if you get a stuck sparge the suction generated by the pump significantly increase the pressure on the false bottom especially of this large diameter. Although the suction is not really high on the pump, this suction over such a large diameter becomes a really significant force on the false bottom, so a much thicker screen would be better for this application.

How come you don't use the actual malt pipe instead?

Hi kegland,
Do you know if the series 3 35L Robobrew false bottom will fit in the series 2 Robobrew? The original false bottom I have in the series 2 is warped out of shape and I am looking at replacing it.

Yes the diameter is the same so they are compatible.

@KegLand-com-au - mine has the female threads, and the order date was 2/2/19, so maybe the wheels were just accidentally left off the order?

It's best that we look up the order number. Can you please email us your order number and we will sort this out for you. With your alias on the forum alone its difficult for us to organise this for you.

The false bottom will be going into a 360mm diameter SS pot, I was going to trim the FB to size.

I like the idea of having a whole base flat FB and eliminate the need for fittings/hose to connect to valve like a domed FB has.

This mlt will be used in a 3v setup, so I dont want to clean a malt pipe as well.

@KegLand-com-au Type A Camlocks coming back in stock anytime soon? - https://www.kegland.com.au/ss-camlock-type-a-male-x-1-2inch-bsp-female-603.html

Just holding up the rest of an order for them & need them for my coolossus.

What is the diameter of these false bottoms? I was looking at grabbing on too, but unfortunately there is no mention on the listing of the size.
Thanks in advance

I think there are dimensions in the photos.
