As you can run hot wort through this device for a few minutes before turning the cold water supply then it's not as critical to have TC on this product in our opinion. Threads on the hot side are not something that really concern us a lot. We do have these parts which I assume you know about https://www.kegland.com.au/1-5-inch-tri-clover-with-1-2-inch-bsp.html and then you can use a socket like this https://www.kegland.com.au/1-2-inch-bsp-stainless-internal-threaded-socket.html to connect to the Coolossus Counter Flow
Would these fittings satisfy your requirements? The 1/2inch threads just make it so easy to change the fittings around. If we weld the TC onto the Coolossus it then is not as easy for instance to add a ball valve or change over to cam-lock fittings etc.
Thanks for that Beer Gut!
dont have the exact date but looks like it's about 3 -4 weeks away.
Thank you!
You probably do not have a blockage. Even the larger 65W pump is still not super powerful and we have quite a lot of resistance in the fairly long coil of the counter flow chillers. In fact all the inline chillers we sell have a fair bit of resistance in them including the plate chiller too. So the flow is significantly reduced when going through these restrictive devices.
We would like to offer some other pumps with higher pressure output but it's hard to find a good food grade one that is also high temp rated and well made. So the 65watt one is the best option at this stage. We did recently upgrade all these with wing nut head. How do you find the new head? IF this is something you think is worth having then we will probably make this standard on the smaller pumps too.
.
Yes that would work fine as long as you stack ice in between. As long as you have direct ice contact with these cold plates they work great.

Any chance of stocking Imperial yeast?
They have twice the yeast of the other mobs, it's a no brainer to me.

I get mine from Cheeky Peak Brewery, let the independents have something to sell.
Yeah fair enough, I'm sure you have plenty of other priorities. And when I say I don't like the dump valve and collection bottle I only mean that I don't like them for my use case, not as a general opinion Just keen at the moment to know whether you're interested in taking a look or not.
I'm not in the business but I reckon if you could get TC top and bottom and the high temp body you'd really get people taking a serious look who would currently be in the stainless conical/unitank market.
Would Kegland consider making a tee piece to suit a soft drink bottle?
It could have a female-male-male soft drink bottle threads. This would allow the tee it to screw to a bottle and a couple of carbonation caps to be attached, one for liquid (with a section of beer line on the barb) and the side branch for gas.
This arrangement would allow a standard soft drink to be used for washing out lines, storing and transferring yeast, poor mans mini keg, etc.
What do you think?

what makes keg land not independent?
Yes I supposed from a $/yeast cell point of view the value is definitely quite good with Imperial yeast. With that said the White Labs yeast has a great reputation and a wide range. If you really want to pitch a large population it's hard to beat making a starter. So no plans to get the Imperial yeast at this stage. It's important to remember if we stock something that is low turnover it will sit on the shelf too long and this would be doing you guys a disservice. At the moment we don't get much request for it so this would be our main concern.
With any of the consumables we need to make sure they turn over quickly so you guys get fresh stuff.

Been thinking of trying A24. Comes to $26 shipping for me though so id probably be making a starter to overbuild, or washing the yeast to make the most of it.
Where do they ship from?
Brisbane I think.

At my local they were saying at they looked at getting in the imperial yeast but it was all coded with a way shorter expiry date than White Labs/Wyeast so it made it pretty hard to justify.
White labs did spend a lot of time developing the pure pitch yeast packaging. I believe one of the major differences with white labs and other packaging is that the white labs product comes in a breathable film bag that allows CO2 to be released. To my understanding this is one of the reasons why the yeast stays in better condition and lasts longer.

Hi @KegLand-com-au. I purchased one of these last order and was wondering if it's working correctly. When I open the reg the disconnect won't let any gas through till it get's to around 10psi. That is ok for my keezer but for my portable setup (which is what I got this for) I only have to pressure set to around 5psi for dispensing as anything higher generally results in a glass of foam.
Is this normal for these to have such a high opening pressure?

Hey @KegLand-com-au ... I am considering my options with kegerators coming up, whether to buy one complete or build a keezer etc. You have some good looking options for my consideration
There is some chat happening in the Keg King thread where they say their Kegerators are 'certified' where others (yours) aren't. They don't directly say this but, other users make the distinction.
I did some searching on the sites mention ERAC & EESS and can't find Kegland anywhere whereas MCH come up with the Keg fridge listed
So my question is, do your Kegerators have electrical certifications?
I don't want my house to burn down and get knocked back for insurance etc. etc.

This is a bit of a funny size and we have dispatched a number of these to Norway where they seem to like this size but in Australia we will only bring in a small number of them to try out. They should arrive in about 2 months.
Yes all the series 4 kegerators that we sell are electrically compliant and have been approved.

That’s great to hear. Assumed that is the case
It would seem some people point to a lack of evidence in the searchable data bases like the ERAC etc. that they aren’t. Keg King have certification listed for instance
Is there a way to show yours are at all?
Would put a lot of conjecture to bed that’s for sure
Or making small additions in an enclosed way. Had a similar idea on my drive into work today.
All of the check valves that we sell will have an opening pressure. The opening pressure is normally between 1-3psi.
https://www.kegland.com.au/premium-...mfl-grey-gas-with-integrated-check-valve.html
https://www.kegland.com.au/duotight-8mm-5-16-x-one-way-check-valve-non-return-valve.html
https://www.kegland.com.au/duotight-9-5mm-3-8-check-valve-gas.html
https://www.kegland.com.au/one-way-check-valve-push-in-gas.html
So if you set the regulator at about 13psi then on the other side of the check valve you will have 1-3psi lower than this on the other side. Unfortunately this is how all these types of check valves work.
5psi opening pressure is too high so this doesn't seem correct. I should also say that some pressure guages do not have fantastic accuracy at very low pressures. So if you are using the 0-60psi gauge the pressures below 5psi are difficult to read accurately. We do have some gauges similar to this:
https://www.kegland.com.au/8mm-5-16-push-in-pressure-gauge-0-40psi.html
The only difference is these will have 0-15psi range. These are really far more accurate for these lower pressures.
