I would like to know if I can fit both the 58l kegmenter and the hop bong in my FV. @kmar92, I don’t have a hop bong on currently but will measure up & report back. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They feel very strong if you try to separate them but through the wall of the kegmenter they do not work. I guess that it is possible that the neodymium magnets could work (I just read that 304 SS will pass a magnetic flux) but when you feel the loss of magnetic flux with the magnets that I have tried though the kegmenter I am doubtfull. I should try out the neodymium magnets as they are fairly inexpensive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My 58l kegmenter is only 630mm high so the hop bong would be higher by itself, than the kegmenter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really depends on what grade of SS 304 you are getting with those, and where it’s made 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am guessing a little and estimating that my 58L kegmenter with hop bong would be about 910mm high and my ferment fridge will fit about 1200mm of height. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Generally, stainless steel grades that start with a 4 in their grade (eg; 410, 420 and 440) are known as martensitic stainless steels. This type of stainless steel is magnetic primarily because it contains large quantities of ferrite in its chemical composition, which is a compound of iron and other elements. The grades used for commercial tableware and fastener industries (Eg; 18/8 and 18/10) are also known to be magnetic. So simply, if an item is truly made from the grade 304 stainless steel, it should not be magnetic. (C = Carbon, Si = Silicon, Mn = Manganese, P = Phosphorus, Cr = Chromium, and Ni = Nickle) 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back Brewing Posted Monday at 04:45 AM Share Posted Monday at 04:45 AM Cleaned the allrounder up after transferring my first brew in it and put my chocolate oatmeal stout in with Nottingham yeast. The spunding valve is closed I'll let it build up under its own steam to 11 or 12psi then I'll close it off to 10psi and ferment it at 19.5c 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pressure can build up awfully quick. And when I say awfully, that describes what it would look like if the FV ruptured. I filled 6 kegs to 15 psi from the off gassing coming from a fermentation on its second day. Imagine 90+ psi in one of those PET fermenters.

NBillett09 Posted Monday at 11:17 AM Share Posted Monday at 11:17 AM @Shamus O'Sean wow that put it in some perspective just how much co2 comes off and how much pressure can be made! Can’t muck around with that! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
