KegLand Questions and Answers

[KegLand-com-au]

How often should I calibrate the pill? I've done a bunch of medium gravity beers and it was pretty accurate up until now. However, I just brewed a 1.080 OG, but the pill only read 1.060 when I dropped it into the fermenter.

If you use wireless charging then you pretty much will never have to calibrate again. If however you are often opening and closing the casing to charge the battery then I would calibrate every use.

When you did the initial calibration did you calibrate at 1.080? It's always best to calibrate at water being point 1 and then use the highest gravity you are likely to use being point 2.

Excellent news on both! Are you able to share any design photos/cad of the SS Fermzilla? On the market for a stainless vessel and would happily hold out knowing this is around the corner

Afternoon.

I'm trying to register my RAPT Pill with my network, but i've not been able to get it to take me to the 'captive portal'. I've tried on by phone (android) and my windows based laptop. Neither open up the 'captive portal', and as i can't get it to the wifi network to open the 'captive portal', i can't enter via the Pills IP address.

Am i missing something? Perhaps this has been answered before, but i couldn't find anything.

Got it to work. Issue was my phone antenna continually switched back to my home wifi as it couldn't find a wifi connection via the RAPT Pill connection.

@KegLand-com-au what plastic is the little red low volume spray unit made from and what is it's maximum temperature?

@KegLand-com-au what plastic is this kegmenter/unitank lid made from? It says "Industrial Plastic" but you are normally more specific with that on your products... am concerned it is something riddled with BPA or other non-food grade components.

@KegLand-com-au any chance of a close out on this query?

Does a new Digiboil need to be passivated or just cleaned with PBW and rinsed?

 

[TwoCrows]

Wash it twice and dry . Passivated.

Wash it twice and dry . Passivated.

Ok, so just Stellarclean (PBW) wash it twice, with no phosphoric acid soak. The instruction sheet is vague but it does just say that they (Kegland) recommend washing with PBW before first use. No concentration is recommended so just used 1 g per litre.

I started with 65 grams dissolved in 45 litres, which I then brought up to 50'c. I used a microfibre cloth to wash the upper wall and then filled it to 65 litres, raised to 60'c and held for 30 minutes. Power off and drained the hot cleaner into kegs. Spray rinsed with fresh water and emptied to dry.

You reckon I should repeat?

You just want to remove all oils and contaminants. Washing and rinsing and washing again just ensures that you got it all.
When stainless steel air dry's it self passivates.
