So I just bought my friend's old Unitank 1.0 and the neoprene looks a bit dirty to me from sitting in his garage, etc. I can't find any instructions anywhere for how to remove the neoprene, it doesn't look like it's meant to come off, but then again there is a zipper on the side. I can't seem...

Ok so I got it working! After the update, when I calibrated it now says "waiting for pressure to stabilize" for a second or two. After that it tells you to put in a liquid at known height and press enter, etc. After re-calibrating with this update, everything works perfectly. I would...

Yeah I actually tried that as well after I found the setting. I think it was like 0 or 1s or something, I changed it to 5 seconds. Didn't make a difference. They told me to update the firmware as they just released some kind of bug fix they think is affecting me. The machine is not...

I'm going back and forth with support, will let you know when i get it solved or learn something new. :)

My 1000ml bottle settings are : purge 6s wait : .2s Fill 300mm It purges fine and I didn't play with the wait time, but unless .2s is 'too low' but .4 is 'fine', i can't see that being a problem either. Min fill rate is defaulted to 0.0, and i changed it to .5/mm/s. I would think that the...

Hey thanks for the response! Yeah, I’ve seen a few settings that look like they might help, but it’s really hard to say what I need to do to the settings to make it work, the troubleshooting and instructions are very much lacking on how to fix my problem. Also called them but then they told...

I just got mine, but i'm havine a different problem. It just stops after about 1 second of filling and kicks the "stopped due to lack of progress" error. Can't seem to get around this no matter what setting, calibration, etc that I do. If you have any advice i'd love to hear it. Regarding...

The regulators work great! I also bought the board to mount the regulators on, I’m sure you could DIY that but saved a lot of time not having to pre drill holes, etc Make sure you put them in a place where you can shine a flashlight on them and read the dials, they are very small and can get...

yes, you are correct, I assumed at first that the ones first in the line needed to be the highest pressure, but that’s not the case at all they can all be different pressures which is pretty cool. Like I said, above the main problem I had was the kegs I was testing with already had pressure in...

Did they give you the % of the different grains they used, hops schedule, and/or yeast recommendation?

Sorry to resurrect this thread but I am also looking to replicate NOLA blonde. According to their website they use Crystal and Perle. What did you end up using, how did it taste?

I don't know of any place locally that swaps larger tanks so probably will need to refill. I just paid $46 to refill two 5lb tanks, I gotta think it's close to that or even less to fill one 20lb tank and obviously less trips. I have 3 5lb tanks now, I could probably sell 2 of them to cover the...

I have a converted refrigerator with 5 taps, usually have at least 4 going at a time. Right now I only have a 5lb tank hooked up via line to the outside of the fridge. Trying to cost-justify getting a 20lb tank, is it a lot less expensive to refill 1 20lb vs 4x5lb tanks?

I second the idea of using an Amazon fire tablet, that's what i'm using as well. I think the fire 7 is <$50.

Small update, gravity is down to 1.050 after about 68 hours in the fermenter. Something is stirring in there but it's not super strong yet. I went ahead and just bought 3 more WYL800 packs and pitched them. I was worried about having 2 more days of low activity being bad for the beer while I...

Yeah I didn't really even shake the wort, I just transferred and lifted the transfer tube well above the level of the water/ferm vessel to create agitation. *edit* found some good instructions for yeast starters. I do have a question though, if i'm using the same lager yeast should I grow the...

Hello fellow home brewers! I am brewing 9 gallons german pilsner 1.53OG using 2 packages of WLP-800 (200b total cells) and I am almost certain I under-pitched. Zero activity even if I bring the temp up to 54 degrees ( from 50 ) after about 50 hours. I'm now looking at some calculators and...

I'm interested in your results as well. I have a 5.5 that ended up 6.6 due to some brewing complications I won't get into here. :) I have boiled some water, and I'm going to pour it into a sanitized keg, then purge it with CO2 thoroughly then let it cool and get infused with CO2. I have 2...

For making a 9g batch I am forced to add water after the mash out because the kettle can't hold all the grain and water at once. I have to add water, so might as well pour it over the grains to get a little more efficiency vs just adding it to a more concentrated wort. The other solution would...

I think i'm gonna use a pulley draped over a branch nearby to lift it out, hopefully I can get most of the drainage and sparge water to fall into the kettle after lifting. With a 5g batch it's not a problem, and I don't even need to sparge but I have been doing larger batches which means 20+...
