I had this exact issue, and it was the kegland disconnect that was leaking on top. Discovered as soon as I immersed it in starsan when hooked up to the gas.

Great, thank you

Thanks, that'd be great if you could take a measurement from the lid to top of hop bong.

How much taller is the all rounder with the hop bong on top? I am thinking of getting one but worried it won't fit in my lader fridge

I shall be fermenting in my fermzilla, more than anything to enable an easy closed transfer. I did see the hop bong from kegland and currently weighing up whether it is worth it or not.

I was thinking about the dry hop. Is it the case that even lifting the lid and dropping them in followed by purging headspace with CO2 would result in sufficient oxygen to cause a problem? Considering any oxygen in the transfer line when transferring would be an issie, I suppose I should avoid...

I love these, although I have had an issue with one of the grey gas ones leaking from the top where the red cap is. Someone at my local Homebrew Club has also had the exact same issue with one. Other than that, I like that the line is at 90 degrees to the keg meaning they add little to no height...

Thanks for all the additiona responses, really great stuff to know! Looking forward to brewing it now!

+1 for stem reducers, and everything that TETB said. My set up contains goodness knows how many 3/8 stem to 3/16 fittings, but well worth it and they're not too expensive.

That's really good to know. I didn't realise even oxygen in lines would be an issue. Thanks for the advice. I plan to close-transfer from fermzilla to keg, so I shall be sure to purge the lines too!

That's a good point, I hadn't considered oxy clean as a source.

I'm planning to use wyeast London Ale III for this beer, but I could use dried now you mention it. Would I still need to avoid splashing when transferring wort to fermenter?

I am going to make a hoppy pale ale, which includes 100g hops at flameout and a substantial (300g) dry hop. Ordinarily I would splash the wort in to the fermenter to get plenty of oxygen in for the yeast (London Ale III), but I am also very aware that this style oxidises easily. From which point...

Good idea, I'll try that. It's been a while since I had beer in this keg so I'll give.it a go before filling it next. Thanks!

I believe so. I have old and new-style kegs and have never had a problem (I transfer to kegs using a grey disconnect, just because it's what I had available at the time). Maybe there are exceptions and it might just be I got lucky. I just checked on all my empty kegs - mixture of new(2021) and...

Just a heads-up, the grey disconnect will fit the Liquid out post, so no need to swap - might save some time. I.e grey fit both posts, black only the liquid. EDIT: see response below from Phildo, that this may not be the case for all kegs.

Nice day for a bike ride on the Reading Ale Trail. Loddon Ferryman's Gold

Wow! Can't wait cheers:

American Light Lager for me tonight. It got an HM at Lager than Life, and there's not much left in the keg

Nice one! I'm even more excited now! Good to know about the pub as I did think some non-sour options would be good too. Looking forward to it!
