Re: PET plastic fermenter lifetime?
Kev, FYI there is a company here in Australia that is releasing a new range of PET fermenters later this month. They can be used to ferment under pressure and dispense the naturally carbonated beer directly from the fermenter. See https://www.kegland.com.au/fermzilla-55l-conical-uni-tank-fermenter.h...

Re: Compact 3-Vessel system
Kev888, its so good to see your innovative design ideas matched up with your knowledge and workmanship. In these days of 'out of the box' plug-n-play brewing systems the home made brewery is becoming a rare thing. Pls keep up the good work. Its a joy to see.

Re: No chill cube
But yourself a Fresh Wort Kit of your liking and ferment the wort into beer (enjoy!), leaving you with an empty cube that has proven its ability to handle hot wort and seal well.

Re: drilling holes stainless steel pots

Been wondering if some of the principles could be used in homebrewing. An important feature of institutional rocket stoves (ie. those used to prepare big pots of foo...
