Yes that's correct. Perhaps it's not so clear on the images.
We are also trying to change the tooling a little at the moment so we can get a little larger with the 50L size. We are trying to make the 50L actually a bit bigger so it's 55L. The larger you go with these types of containers the difficult they are to engineer so that has been the main issue and we don't really want to change size once we start manufacture.

@Schikitar just ferment in a Cornie if you're getting off flavours (or 2 if you do bigger batches)
And for my 2c I'd go a nice big kegmenter if you want to move on.

I am also keen on 2" tri-clover fittings (elbow, sight gauge, step down to 1",3/4",1/2" threaded) to convert inverted 50L kegs to conical fermenters.
Oh yeah, good idea, at least to try and identify if it is indeed my plastic FVs.. I'll look into this further, thanks!
Yes it's a difficult decision that many customers have the issue in deciding. If you ever want to harvest yeast then the Fermentasaurus 2 is the way to go. If you are not going to harvest yeast then the Kegmenters are a great option.
The Kegmenters are also a great multipurpose vessel though that can be used for:
1. Inoculation Tank. Simply fit a 2200watt stick heating element into the side and then you can inoculate in this tank. This is good for sour beers if that's what you are into.
2. Distillation vessel. Great to boil in these with the element above and then attach the still head.
3. Regular keg. Sometimes handy to have one more keg available.
So if 1, 2 or 3 is valuable for you then this might be worth getting the Kegmenter. Otherwise the Fermentasaurus 2 is the more capable unit.

The word on the street is the modified Fermentasaurus 1 will be a good option, pulling the trigger next week.

Will the Duo tight one way valve be coming out in 8mm OD line?
Hi guys
I have seen mention of a heating/cooling fridge you are developing that will fit the new fermentasauras.
Is this a single fridge size or you doing a small and large one? and do you have any dimensions yet? And any rough ETA (I see mentioned is 'next year', first quarter 2019?, first half? 2nd half?)?
I'm looking at getting a new fridge and would like a v2 of the fermentasauras when it comes out (27L one) so just working out what to do.

Hi @KegLand-com-au can you please add the option to display ALL items on a page? Showing 12/24/36 means a lot of clicking around between pages as you populate categories.
Another issue with an item showing both in stock and out of stock. This time it is the 40psi pressure gauge: https://www.kegland.com.au/8mm-5-16-push-in-pressure-gauge-0-40psi.html

I'm currently building an upgraded rig and wanted to know what the performance of your counterflow chiller is like? How does it compare to the one sold with the Grainfather?
Also, would love a "New Product" feed on the site so I can easily stay abreast of all new and incoming products.

@KegLand-com-au Regarding disposable oxygen, what connection/fitting will your cylinders have? I might grow weary and buy elsewhere, but it would be great to have the foresight in my purchase so that I can remain compatible with what you guys end up releasing.
Hi Kegland, I recently bought a robobrew thinking it was going to be a compromise (didn't have the bank for a grainfather), however I'm thrilled with it for the price, massive improvement over my previous BIAB setup.
What I want to know is when recirculating mash do you need to have a decent flow to not stuff the pump or is it happy as long as some liquid is flowing through it? Also is there a trick to cleaning the groove at the top? Should the ring that supports the malt pipe be removed?

Looks like this has been fixed. Order placed.
@KegLand-com-au keep up the good work and keep expanding the product line.
Yeah it's a really simple device but it most certainly makes filling kegs easier:
https://www.kegland.com.au/duotight-flow-stopper.html
I have also used it for emptying kegs too. It's not quite as useful for this but one thing that I do is fill the keg to the brim with StellarSan then use CO2 to displace the StellarSan. This gives me much better purge of oxygen out of the keg. Keeping oxygen off your beer is so important to maintaining beer quality and simply pulling the PRV a few times doesnt really lower the O2 enough in my opinion. If you use the fill stopper upside down then the ball floats inside the chamber (once you purge the air out) then once the keg has been emptied the flow cuts off automatically. This can can safe you just dispensing CO2 to the atmosphere if you are not looking at it.
