Going to start using the scan as you shop at Tesco for my shopping, keep it under 200 and walk away. Is there a limit how many times I can do it?

Sounds like the dip tube may be getting a kink and blocking flow. Do you have any spare? Could you cut it shorter?

ok, strange as this would suggest no blockage in the FV dip tube. Try connecting liquid disconnect to the liquid out with just some open ended pipe into a jar. Be ready to disconnect it quickly if beer starts spraying out. If you dont get anything then try pushing the ball lock in with a small...

Didnt work as in no CO2 went into the FV or that it didnt solve the issue? If no CO2 going in then it is definitely a blockage. Is the fermzilla definitely pressurised? If you squeeze it is it solid?

Try blasting a small amount of CO2 down the liquid disconnect of the FV, this will remove any blockage. Obviously the pressure of the CO2 you add will need to be higher than the pressure the FV is set to so that CO2 can flow down.

I use a spray bottle for most things. For kegs I keep one keg filled with starsan and whenever another keg is empty and cleaned I transfer the starsan to the clean one using CO2 so the keg is fully purged and ready to go. I occassionally empty the starsan and refill with new but dont track it...

That's 71% apparent attenuation which is likely it finished, I often finish slightly higher than brewfather predicts because it uses the max attenuation of the yeast to predict FG. what yeast did you use? Did you make a starter, use 2 packs etc? I would think it should be completely fine to...

Just realised this is exactly what Ive been looking for! I have a lot of corny kegs and am very slack about cleaning the lines in my keezer as its always a faff. 4L PET keg filled with line cleaner and pressurised up will make it a breeze... might buy 2 and have 1 filled with starsan to purge...

I have a berkey water filter in the kitchen for drinking/cooking water (fantastic filters, expensive to buy but last years). As I have replaced the filters a couple of times I now use the old filters inside a 30L plastic fermenter bucket with holes drilled in the base, sitting ontop my 30L...

I am still using it, first beer came out well, if a little sour and topped it up again with another wort. Probably keg this one soon so it doesnt end up quite as sour as the last one. V2 is on hold due to lack of space, hoping to move house soon and one of the requirements is a dedicated brew...

No, the "CO2 blanket" is a myth, gases all mix together, even with different densities. If they were in a completely sealed and constant temperature vessel they will eventually partially settle out but even a slight movement would mix them together again. Here is a decent explanation

Almost every morning same for me as really like it and its super healthy - Homemade brown bread toast, avocado, homemade sauerkraut, poached egg, half tin of mackerel and a decent amount of homemade fermented hotsauce.

Is it coming out the brass coloured nut at the back? Ive not looked at it closely but believe it is a burst disk (single use relief valve). ie its designed to burst and bleed off pressure if it exceeds a set pressure, in order to prevent anything breaking and creating shrapnel if it is...

I upgraded from G30 to Brewtools B80 as was looking for more volume. If the DarkFarm vessels had been released at the time I would probably have got one of them, they look fantastic and at a much more sensible price than Brewtools.

This is both the easiest and best (in my opinion!) method. Leave the keg in the fridge with gas connected and set at correct pressure, normally around 12-20psi depending on temp and beer style, you arent going to risk overcarbing. Method 1 I havent tried as not sure the beer will really be any...
