Thanks for that!

Off topic, but a while ago you grew barley and malted it yourself but I don't recall seeing how it turned out. So how was it in the end?

Pretty much everything you need for a two keg setup except the CO2 cylinder.

It was very drinkable, I won't be doing it again, but it was a valuble learning experience.
I have been meaning to stitch together the pieces of video.

I finished the growing part, but I can't find some of the malting bits.
I'm sure I took more photos and videos, I'll look today again.

I'll put the video of the growing on the you tube if anyone would like to see it?

I'm setting up the Rapt pill today, I'll have another look for those bits after :-)

On regulators now.
I've looked at a few.
I like the Italian ones, but I've just seen a video on the kegland version 4.

I like the big adjusting knob and the big, clear looking gauges. It can also be wall mounted easily, which I do like.

However, it is quite a bit cheaper than the others, I was wondering if anybody had any comments about it robustness and use in practice?

I’ve been using the Mk4 regulators for CO2 and mixed gas for several years now and they have been fine but have just upgraded to Italian made ones and IMO they are far superior .

Thanks, can they be wall mounted easily?

Barley growing - I uploaded it.

I think you need an additional bracket for both the Mk4 and the Italian ones. I use bottle mounted regulators so don’t have first hand knowledge sorry

If you want a wall mounted one rather than cylinder mounted then you'll need one like this, with a high-pressure hose attachment for the cylinder.
