    Picnic Tap 2.1 vs. Nukatap Mini

    Yes the Pluto gun and the Nukatap Mini will either require beer line with length/ID to suit the required level of flow resistance you are trying to achieve. Alternatively if you are not using beer line then you will require the FC ball lock disconnect which is external to there taps. As all...

    Picnic Tap 2.1 vs. Nukatap Mini

    It's really best to go to this map and then contact our UK distributors: https://www.kegland.com.au/distributor The local distributor can normally give a better indication of arrival times.

    Picnic Tap 2.1 vs. Nukatap Mini

    The nukatap mini already uses the MFL 1/4 thread so many home brew connectors already exist. For instance if you wanted to make a growler filler you can unscrew the spout and just screw on one of these fittings...

    It might be worth adding here that this particular pump we use is designed so you can dead head the pump. So you can turn off the ball valve while the pump is still turned on without risk of damaging the pump. I know with some other centrifugal pumps this can be an issue but with this design...

    Picnic Tap 2.1 vs. Nukatap Mini

    Thanks for the Review GoodTruble. Really appreciate the in depth review and the photos too. I should say that if you wanted to get the Nukatap Mini auto close spring this is part number KL32216 and if you insert this into the bore of the tap it will automatically close the tap when you let go...

    Can you send us some photos of your grist. It's also strange as it sounds like you are doing everything correctly. I think looking at the grist is more important that measuring the gap in my opinion. Measuring the gap gives you some idea but really you just want to only go as narrow with the...

    Yes that looks pretty normal to me.

    We have not noticed any change to efficiencies. The only downside is that you just have one small plate to wash and the end of the brew day. With that said it's not difficult to take apart as you just have to undo the wing nut.

    Running the pump on Brewzilla Gen 4

    The pump is rated to 121C so you can run boiling hot wort through the pump continuously and it will be fine. I tend to run the pump most of the time even during the boil. I don't always use the pump on 100% but I do find the circulation does seem to help for a few reasons: 1. Anything that...

    Keezer and now pouring slow

    Yes absolytely you can use the 5mm x 8mm OD beer line but if you use that beer line you just can't use the same length that you would normally use with a standard disconnect. Typically with the 5mm x 8mm we would recommend 3-4meters but if you use the FC ball lock disconnect then we would...

    We are in the process of updating the whole look of the web portal. Trent has been doing a lot of work on this side of things. With the new portal we will have each seprate device listed including the BT probes. This will enable you to export the BT data separately. The other thing is the...

    Kegland Rapt Pill floating hydrometer temperature monitor

    Can you please send us screen shots of all the settings you have. You should be able to see this in when you are in the AP mode. IE, what is your telemetry frequency etc. Also are you using a mesh network? Are you on the latest firmware? If you can provide us with more information we can...

    Keezer and now pouring slow

    Yes that is correct. If you are using the Duotight Flow Control Ball Lock Disconnect you need to use larger ID Beer line or just shorten the beer line a bit otherwise you are going to have double resistance from the beer line and the QD fitting. Also The flow control QD fitting even in it's...

    Brewzilla Gen4 Discussion/Tips Talk

    The Bluetooth thermometer being 10C out sounds a bit strange to me. This is out of specification and I think it's more likely you actually have a 10C difference between the bottom probe and the Bluetooth thermometer. I think a lot of customers do not realize how different the temperature can...

    The heat exchanger plate greatly increases the speed at which you can heat up while recirculating. If you are doing step mash or want to improve your heat up times to the boil it makes a difference. If however you are doing single infusions it's not a going to make a big different just heating...

    Oxidation

    Lets say you push 2000Litres of carbon dioxide through a 19L keg that atmospheric 21% oxygen concentration will be diluted to about 0.2% This is still quite high with respect to oxygen concentration in CO2. Normally for oxygen concentration we would aim to have be 0% to at least 2 decimal...

    Yes I forgot to mention that. We generally give you a silicone tube that is longer than you require so this is definily a factor.

    Picnic Tap 2.1 trouble

    I should also say we have a new design of flow control Nukatap FC model that will also come into stock later this year. The new FC mechanism is even better than the existing one and instead of just relying on two cone (male and female) coming together to create the narrow path and high...

    Kegland kegerator repair

    If you get a main board go then this is mainly due to the power supply getting damaged during some type of power surge. If there is some way you can protect yourself from power surges this will help the situation. It seems to be more of an issue in regional areas where lightening strikes or...

    Oxidation

    What type of o-rings are you using on your kegs. If you are using silicone o-rings I would watch this video we made some time ago: Silicone allows oxygen to freely pass through the seals in the keg and many customers think because the keg is under pressure oxygen can't get in but this is...
