Getting the temperature in the middle of the beer is a more reflection of what is going on and avoids the thermal lag and inaccuracy of measuring the tank wall temperature. The probe temp ends up being dictated by whatever heat movement is going on between the tamnk and the outside world...

Well it works well with a flexible collection bottle and its using physics in our favour. Makes the valve a really simple thing and you can chuck it in the dish washer. Of course the valve stem becomes your thermowell and the retention column for the float. So a lot of benefits and few drawbacks.

Well compared to a butterfly valve it seals a lot better and also offers an uninterrupted orifice to let trub and yeast slide out. Hell of a lot easier to clean than a butterfly valve also. If you don't need a valve and collection bottle just go for the snubnose version.

The trick to this is quite simple physics. Just gently squeeze the plastic collection bottle and then the plunger can easily be settled down to make a proper seal.

All you need to do is use a no-rinse sanitiser once you have put the posts on. Let me know if any problems. People who make the same beer often just leave the yeast etc and it fires up again once fresh wort is placed in there. Dr Hans the Swedish Youtuber did a whole year like that without...

Happy to help get some of these to the UK. They are quite inexpensive and I think Brew2Bottle will be stocking them in the near future. They will be much less expensive than any kind of spunding valve. Blue ones for Ales and purple ones for Lagers.

This is a good time to introduce how the lid on the 60 and 30 litre Fermenter Kings looks and works. For the Snubnose versions the centre tower is used to attach the internal thermowell. For the yeast collection version this retains the valve operation tube/Thermowell. In addition it’s a...

The new one has a bigger opening in the top

We have just completed the first phase of tests where the same beer was stored in stainless and in PET kegs in the same fridges. If anyone wants the reports I can make them available here.

Well if the 35 litre will not do it then there is always the 60 litre for the heavier loads .........

Just so you know that this is the 35 litre snubnose vessel used to lift the vehicle.

I was not getting things quite right with posting in the right place but think I have finally figured out that we need to be in this part of the forum. Thanks Chippy So lets get started with a bit of fun and also a demonstration about how damn tough our Fementer King units really are. Would you...

Early in July our city of Melbourne went into lockdown stage 3 which was kind of tolerable but it was not enough. By the end of the month we had gone from low double digits to over 700 new cases daily. In August we went to stage 4 which was curfew 8.00pm to 5.00am, no restaurant, pubs, no...

Here is a link to a video about our Super Deluxe Kegerators that might get some of you to get ideas. Hoping we can bring these to the UK and Europe soon.

What taps are you using?

Just to show how strong our PET vessels are we decided to do a test today to see if we can use them like a gas cushion to lift our pickup truck. Now the truck weighs over 2 tons and we went for the front right wheel so to have max engine weight on there. By sliding the cursor back and forth you...
