I ferment W34/70 at 21c under 15 psi from the start pitching 1 pack into 21 litres of 1.047 wort. It’s normally finished after 4 or 5 days. Done 5 or 6 batches like this now and consistently get a very clean fermentation, I can’t pick out any off flavours. I have been letting the pressure rise...

Hooked up a box of this to the new hand pull 😍

Yeah exactly this, I’ve just done an Angram CO and it was really straightforward. I soaked everything in oxiclean and it came up good as new (ish) :) just watch out for the ball joint as the nut is galvanised and will corrode in oxi.

ha ha this is the first thing people ask when they see the kegerator, I’ve never had one go off is the normal reply 😂

No worries, you have solved the problem, will place an order with one of my many silicone hose providers 😂 I’ve brasso’d the hell out of her today and must say having a beer engine surpasses all home brewing achievements to date

Thanks, yes would gladly take it off your hands if you can find it, let me know how you want to sort postage

I need to replace the tube that connects the cylinder to the spout on an Angram CO beer engine. can anybody recommend the right tube? Think it’s 1/4” ID, I’ve tried braided PVC which is too firm and normal PVC and silicone which both kink. The original was some sort of thick walled tube but...

I've just bought a beer engine and was about to ask the same questions athumb.. . Going the corny keg route with LPG reg

Yeah you can do it, see here https://www.thehomebrewforum.co.uk/threads/brew-fridge-wanted.86479/post-909660 I have the hotpoint rla34 as a kegerator and it is bigger than the LEC internally so you should be ok

It has a date stamped on the side that says do not use after this date unless you pressure test it, or something to that effect

have you seen this? This is how I managed to fit it in an under counter fridge https://www.thehomebrewforum.co.uk/threads/brew-fridge-wanted.86479/post-909660

I usually want to free up the fermenter to brew again so not tried it! I have got a picnic tap and had a couple of samples straight from the fermenter which works ok

I’ve recently got into pressure fermenting as well. I’ve been brewing a basic Pilsner recipe with w34/70, fermenting at 21 deg c and applying 15 psi from the start. Once it gets to around 1.017 I set the spunding valve to 28 psi to carbonate to around 2.5 volumes. When fermentation is done (3-4...

https://www.kegland.com.au/media/pdf/FermZilla%20Instructions%20for%2027L%20and%2055Lv2.pdf bottom of page 10, says you can leave Stellarsan in til next fermentation which I presume is their version of starsan

if you haven’t done so already I found where mine was leaking from by pressuring it up and dunking in a bucket of water, bubbles show you where the leak is straight away.

the first time I wrapped a thread without having to undo it again cos it was on the wrong way, I knew I was a home brewer :laugh8:

NEIPA, been in the keg about 3 weeks now and bang on

Go for BSP as they are much easier to get hold of, I have had the odd NPT fitting but at 1/2 inch I have found them compatible, I’m not using them on anything pressurised but don’t have any leaks. Just use plenty of PTFE tape

Great experiment, thanks for sharing. Looks like there is quite a big difference in head retention from the pictures, was that something you observed?

shame this, I moved to Chelford just before lock down, was hoping to get involved
