just had it overfill on me for the first time just now actually… super not a big deal, closed the valve (dernord off of amazon are great 2" ball valves, holds the vac well) and put a fresh clean towel under the clamp… towel goes into the centrifuge and I get my booze back. easy.
The usalab kegs come with two 1.5” ports with sight glasses on top, a six inch top port with dual dip tubes and a 2” connection … and a 1.5” drain port… pretty tricked out
@Siosis Unless you’re doing the work yourself, that price seems comparable or better than having a fabricator modify a single keg for you (in the US). If they do a lot of them, they (should) have tricks that make it easier, but that seems like fair amount of keg mod for $419.
I like the dual 1/2" dip-tubes and angled ports. I might have to steal the dual dip-tubes
I recall poly-carbonate requiring special coatings to be resistant to ethanol, and question the longevity of the OEM sight glasses.
@GroovyOctopusLabs, just start digging through your spare tri-clamp parts. If I remember right, this is just a 2" concentric reducer with a 1.5" barbed cap with the appropriate sized silicone tube to connect to the kegs. No need for specialty parts. We didn’t order any special new parts. It was just what was on hand
It’s the stock clamp that came with the unit. I was really surprised myself! It helps to have a gasket that is flat on one side. Using the flat side against the glass helps when trying to pull vac.
