Thanks @Stu's Brews, @CookieMonster, and @JockyBrewer - all really helpful. I returned to it today and took on board all advice (other than buying a longer valve inlet). I can confirm that it's not a blockage on the fermenter or the beer line from the bottom of the fermenter to the keg, because...

@Stu's Brews - I ended up getting one of these kits and it’s been perfect for dry hopping. I also tried it for pressure transfer from the gf30 to corny keg this evening, but the flow rate was painfully slow and it pretty much ground to a halt about halfway through, so I still have 9-10L left in...

@borischarlton - thanks, that's really helpful. Any views on what's the value of choosing different sizes for the lines (3/8" or 5/16")? @peebee - that's interesting! I've no idea how to tell hold early my keg is, but I guess not a pin lock! I shall have to put something colourful on my kegs so...

Hi there, I recently picked up some used kegs and I'm trying to figure out what kind of disconnects I need. I think the gas and liquid posts are like these, but I'm finding it hard to tell and don't know what kind / size of disconnects I need (I also need to replace some of the missing O...

Thanks everyone for your input. Much appreciated! @tigertim - thanks for directing me too the parts! And good reminder about air in the gas line. I'll keep that in mind. @Caramel Ox, @CookieMomster - I'll consider a hop bong, but for now I want to see if I can do it without. I want to get...

Thanks very much; both really helpful replies! (Particularly for someone whose not pressured transferred before or has any experience using CO2) @Stu's Brews - do you have any advice on how best to connect a gas line to the inlet valve? I think I could screw a john guest fitting onto the inlet...

Hi there - first time poster! I'm trying to figure out the best way of dry hopping in a Grainfather GF30 conical fermenter (with dual valve tap) while minimising oxygen exposure. So far I've just opened the fermenter and lobbed hops in a few days before fermentation ends, which has worked fine...
