Awesome! May I ask where you found this comment from KegLand?

Sounds good. Thanks for the feedback!

I'm interested in their flow control ball lock QD, so I appreciate your experience with this so far. I assume the 5mm EVAbarrier is the way to go, given the extra restriction even when the flow control is fully open? Thanks!

Hi all, KegLand just came out with a new tap called the Nukatap (https://www.kegland.com.au/nukatap-ss-tap-only-stainless-steel.html). It's main marketing points seem to be: - First Pour Foam Reduction in Thermal Mass - Improved Laminar Flow - Most Sanitary Forward Sealing Design Design -...

Two days ago, I got an email update saying that the Steam Slayer was back in stock. I read it 6 minutes after it came in, and the website was already displaying "Out of stock". Did they really all get snapped up in <6 minutes, or was this just a glitch and they were not really available at all?

Wow! That's great news. Thanks for putting my mind at ease!

+1 on the steam condenser idea. I spent a lot of time trying to figure out a vent system that wouldn't be too onerous to set up, which was swiftly obviated once I discovered steam condensers. For the faucet connection, if the spout has a thread for an aerater, I would recommend a faucet diverter...

I've had good luck just overlapping it a bit and taping it down the seam with aluminum-backed HVAC tape. It looks nice, but would be difficult to remove if necessary.

For those of you with the Avantco, do you just put your kettle directly onto the burner, or do you have some kind of additional support? I'm a bit scared about the weight of the kettle + wort being too heavy, and this fear is reinforced by the examples of people on this forum who have built...

Okay, that explains a lot. Thanks for clearing that up. I'm a bit concerned about a possible lack of continuing support/accessory availability, should the litigation go poorly, but I will probably pull the trigger and buy one from one of the sites that has it. Thanks!

Hmm... it is blocked on some of the networks I use, citing malware. In other cases, I can get through. Although one of the times I went to it, I was redirected to several malware sites. Either way, thanks for looking into this on your end. Putting aside the issue of the website, the other...

Is Intertap still an active company? Are they currently going through legal trouble, or under some kind of injunction against selling their products? I've been doing research on Perlick vs. Intertap faucets, and after finally deciding to go with an Intertap flow control faucet, I have been...

What type of pictures would you need? I'm happy to take some more. Thanks!

Hi everyone, Today I noticed that one of my hop plants is starting to show issues with the leaves. White, yellow, and brown patches; general necrosis; and definitely some big bites taken out by insects. Can you help me identify what is causing the discoloration and leaf death? The plant...

Sounds good. Thanks again for all your help!

Thank you! I really appreciate you taking the time to measure this.

Hi all, Does the Blichmann Autosparge use regular 1/2" silicone tubing? Info online seems to say that the float ball accepts tubing with an OD of 1/2", but standard 1/2" silicone has an OD of 3/4". Does that mean that it uses 3/8" ID tubing? Or is it some kind of non-standard thin-wall tubing...

How do you feel about locline's cleanability? A simple silicone tube will of course be trivial to clean and sanitize, but I'm concerned about all the nooks/crannies/threads in locline.

No, I have never used a brewing pump before (except in tests for this system), and have never done a mash recirculation before. I'm trying to build a system that will allow for the shortest and most hand-off approach possible, with the fewest amount of parts to clean and assemble, as I am...

I want to address your points in order to offer some context, but not to negate/dissuade the advice you're giving, as ultimately that is what I'm seeking. I've done a lot (too much) of thinking about this, so here is how I had planned on solving the issues your brought up. 1) I am using a...
