LOL so you’re going to acknowledge that the caps have different threading than the plastic cover and say that I used a tool? Pretty sure I know that I only used my hands. It’s obvious there are quality issues with this unit but hey props to you for continuing to use it even with all of the...

Finally picked up a 5cuft freezer from Best Buy on sale and plan on sticking to this build style. A few things I’m still not sure about though. What size shanks did you go with? I’m also having a hard time figuring out how you guys attached the wood shelf for the drip tray

Agreed. Sapwood cellars is pretty good about listing ingredients too. My friends went to a release awhile ago and they even had handouts of the recipe to give to everyone

omg I can’t believe I never thought about cutting the gas in dip tube. Genius! Thank you!!

That article looks great! Now I have some reading to do during my lunch break today. I’m actually planning to use my 2 kegs that have a cut dip tube so I can place a filter over them. “Brite keg” style from Scott Janish. I want to fill the second keg with Star san and push it out with the gas...

I’m about to try fermenting in the keg for the first time. Can someone please critique my plan to keg hop? After keg hop for 2-3 days it will go into the kegerator and be served in the same keg. Connect keg 1 (primary) IN post to keg 2 OUT post Naturally purge keg 2 from primary fermentation...

wow that’s super fast! What temp did you ferm at? I’m thinking about pitching at 95* and then wrapping in my sleeping bag and placing in the garage where it’s prob around 80* ambient. Also, did you crash before any of the dry hopping?

I plan to use this yeast on my next batch too. Around what days did you add your DH and keg hop?

How many oz of hops are you using when it clogs? I’ve done 6-8oz pellets loose in the GF with no issues so far. *knock on wood* I just make sure I get a good whirlpool going and then leave it alone so all the material settles into a cone. Usually wait about 15-20 mins before I start...

I removed the washer before taking the pic, sorry for the confusion. The carb cap is from the pressure kit. Thankfully, morebeer is sending a replacement lid. Do you think maybe this time I should put some plumber’s tape on the threads? Thankfully, morebeer is going to send a replacement lid...

Even though I specifically told keg land that I hand tightened the cap, they still accused me of not hand tightening and saying it is user error. This is ridiculous. Hopefully morebeer can make this right. Otherwise, like you, I might have to look at a refund here.

How’s your replacement holding up? I had to email keg land and morebeer about my lid. I hand tightened the carb cap with plenty of lube and could still hear it leaking from there. When I unscrewed the cap, it took a bunch of the plastic threads with it. I know it wasn’t cross threaded either...

Reviving this thread as I am looking for an upright freezer for my fermzilla. Does anyone have any upright freezer recommendations I can look into?

This all sounds so good! I cannot wait to use mine when I come back from vacation. Just to make sure I understand your dry hop process...you screw on the collection jar, purge, test for leaks, then take it off and add the hops, screw the jar back on, purge, test for leaks, and then open the...

I’m glad their customer service is doing the right thing. Have you tried spraying a soapy solution to see exactly where the leak is coming from?
