I've got scum in my stainless steel fermenter that I've been unable to remove. I've soaked with PBW and scrubbed with a plastic/nylon scouring pad but neither has worked. Any ideas what else to try?

Not sure if it makes a difference but mine is a nutrichef, but nitrachef.

I have a keg like this but only use it as a means of transporting and serving already carbonated beer. Essentially a fancy growler. I don't think it's meant to be used for carbonating beer.

Just in case anyone else encounters this problem, I managed to get the controller open. There are 5 screws holding the top and bottom parts together. They are accessible underneath the top face of the device. You need to lift up the face in the corners and halfway down on the right hand side...

Maybe I should try the old whack it to fix it technique! :)

Looked for screws first :). I'm currently using it and adjusting the temperatures every 12 hours or so. Ordered an inkwell replacement. Once that reaches I'll see if I can force it open

It's pretty well sealed. I can get a screw driver between the top "lid" and the base but it's a pretty tight fight and I'm not able o release any clips. I'm worried I'll do some permanent damage

The temperature creep is still happening. I guess it's time for a new controller.

Ok, thanks!

Thanks, I'm not seeing the procedure to recalibrate it. Or is it the temperature offset that you are referring to?

Hi, I just noticed my Thermostar digital temperature controller that is a couple years old is showing the wrong temperature. What should be showing as 14C is actually showing as 0.2C! I can't find any instructions on calibrating it. Is there a way to adjust it? Or is it time for a new controller?

Hi, I want to transfer from my Anvil 7.5 gallon stainless bucket fermentor to my keg. The fermentor came with a quick connect with a barb on it but I want to switch the barb so I can attach it to my jumper cable which has two mfl liquid ball lock disconnects and MFL connections (see the image...

Thanks all

Thanks. The package says it's citric acid powder.

Hi, I've just got a new stainless steel fermenter and want to passivate it. I've got my hands on this: Dumond Chemicals, Inc. 2031 Citri-Lize Neutralizer and Mill Glaze Remover, 4 Ounce Learn more: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B075GQ2VXC/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_7WNQGJ1CWY3NDAB03GZ8 The...

Definitely one of the strangest things I've seen in my history of brewing.

Yup, I didn't take a picture of it but yes and there were lots of bubbles coming out. I've attached a picture of the ring fitness around the top of the bucket after I transferred to another one.

I got a replacement hydrometer and took a reading and got 1.035, so my refractometer seems to be OK. As far as the beer goes, I'm totally confused. I am currently racking it off that yeast and into another fermenter and going to add some other yeast. Hopefully I'll at least get something...

the water was at room temperature which is about 27C where I live. Would that have affected it?

Yep, that's why I started suspecting the refractometer needed calibration. Normally this brew starts at 1.043/1.045 and gets down to about 1.004. This is the first time I calibrated it so I'm wondering if I've done something wrong. I made my own distilled water and adjusted the reading so that...
