I tend to mix the syrups in a bucket with hot water, then add them to cold water in the Zilla, so I'm not trying to get 23 litres of liquid through the Zilla lid... Also helps to mix the extract evenly, I find...

They lost money on every one they sold!! Still a great technical tour de force- in fact I'm looking for one as a tow-behind our motorhome....

I think they recommend that you pressure test them at 2 years... I've got one that's about 4 years old, and I still pressure ferment at 10psi with no issue. I DO pressure test every 6 months or so, just fill up with water and pressurise (to 25psi in my case) and good to go. Also tests the...

I've heard a rumour that Bluebird may run at Coniston Speed Week this November- I would love to see it on the water....
