Thanks. Ok it's been a week now and I believe it is fixed. I bought some R290, some self-piercing taps, a hose and gauge and, most importantly an explosive gas, R290 sniffer. I tested the sniffer/alarm on the BBQ and it's really sensitive. Detecting a few ppm of propane. I moved the...

No the compressor is running as long as it's plugged in. The end of the capillary in the kegerator itself is getting frosty but not the evaporator itself. I bought a leak sniffer and haven't detected anything yet. The cans of R290 have arrived and the hose and gauge should arrive tomorrow. I...

I found the data label and schematic inside the kegerator, and am posting it here for others who may need it. It looks like I only need 2.11oz of R290.

Thanks @sfrisby . Was this the same Kegco XCK-1? I am thinking I need a can of the R290, one of those self piercing cap taps, a flexible pipe to connect the can and a bullet clamp like this. I have never done work on refrigerant or AC before. I understand that with R290 it is important to do...

My Kegco XCK-1 kegerator has stopped cooling. I have done all the basics - checked the start capacitor, replaced the overload switch and relay, checked the controller and compressor windings. I am thinking that it has lost its refrigerant charge. It's R290. Has anyone had this issue or...

I have two CF10 fermenters that are in use regularly with 5 (6.1 gallon in fermenter) and 10 (11.1 gallons in fermenter) batches. I typically start fermentation at 2-3 psi and then set it to 5-8 psi at around 80% completion before cold-crashing. I have the 2" sight glass and butterfly valves...

Thanks for the input. Yep the Saison has reached terminal gravity, so the degree a day bump worked out. Lots of people have warned about this yeast stalling. I will add the BrewClear to the fermenter. I have perfected the 'syringe attached to a ball-lock' technique for adding tinctures and...

Hi - I'm fermenting a Saison and after a lot of reading I am using the approach where I step the temperature up one degree a day. The fermentation has gone well and is about to finish at the target FG of 1.011. My normal approach would be to wait 4-5 days after the FG is reached and confirmed...

I bought some stuff from UK Brewing supplies (Paul Pendyck) and spoken with him to resolve issues. They are a solid company and good prices. I have also ordered parts that UK Brewing supplies did not have or were out of stock from RLBS. ( Home page - Hand Pumps, Beer Pumps, Fonts, Gas...

Hi - I have a home bar with six beers and a drip tray. When I built it, it wasn't possible to have the drip tray feed into a drain so I have it drain into a bucket under the taps. After a heavy night of use I empty the bucket which is rarely more that a quart or two. However the silicone tube...

I am running IOS 16.5.1 (c) and the Flite app is working OK. My Flite sensors however have become unreliable and started failing.

I like the suggestion, but the problem is with the National suppliers. It is very expensive for these guys to attend shows and they would have to attend all of them to capture the user base. From MoreBeer to Spike, Muntons or smaller manufacturers like Tilt or Plaato, I have engaged with their...

I have attended four HomeBrewCons but unfortunately was unable to attend this year's due to a family committment. It sounds like I didn't miss much . I have read this thread over the past week and all the good, constructive criticism. In particular from @Bobby_M. I was involved with some of...

The beer I have been trying to replicate (for years now) is Wadworths 6X. Brewed in Devizes where I lived for a while, widely distributed in the south of England and my idea of what an English Ale should be. Paul

Thanks @UncleD ! Regarding the low pressure alarm (and indeed all alarms), I have set the values but they are not coming through to my iPhone. I suspect that I need to go into Notiction settings on the phone and enable notifications from the Flite app. All the best. Congrats on the new house...

While not exactly what you asked, I added capability to the Brew Commander without actually modifying it. I did look at taking the guts out of the Brew Commander box and mounting it in the control box but decided it wasn't worth the additional complexity and risk - as well as voiding any...

@LBussy @UncleD And another question! I have one of my Flite sensors that was calibrated high and low and working for 2-3 weeks and all of a sudden I noticed that the keg went from full to empty. I looked into it and the header lost the 'low distance calibration number at 2:15am one morning...

Another question. I had a CO2 tank run out and was expecting to get a notification when the CO2 pressure dropped below the limit I had set on the sensor config page. This was set to 5psi. I did not receive a notification and it occurred to me I had not set up any notification methods - text...

I built my own trunk line in a 'Y' configuration to feed six beers, from two Komos kegerators to the beer tower. It has been in operation for two years now and overall I am happy with its operation. Using a lot of experience here on the HBT forum, I decided to use a flexible copper core with...

Question: On the Flite App, is there a way of changing the order in which the beers appear? I would like this to be in the same order as my taps, but it appears to be pre-sorted in order of when the controller was first registered/set up. Paul
