Awesome enhancement! I like the low profile, the o-ring less design, tool less cleaning. Well done Kee!! Can't way to see them in the USA. Any idea when they'll be here? 👍🍻
@@nickdefrancis As these are very new you probably cannot find them in America just yet but they will be arriving to America within the next month or so. Best to send an email to Williams Brewing or MoreBeer and then ask them when the shipments of these will be arriving.
Thank you so much for these videos! I'm a total novice, and I had been putting off building a carbonation rig because I was overwhelmed by all the information and anxious about getting the wrong parts. Finally took the plunge because of these videos! (The fact that the relevant product page has these videos embedded and lists compatible parts with the one your viewing *chefs kiss*)
haha. Hopefully it's sooner than that. We do sell to Brew Keg Tap, Malt Miller, Keg Kingdom, and Angle Homebrew. If you ask these guys they can probably add them to their next order.
Very good to know I wasn't pushing my duotight fittings properly, can't wait for those indicators! I had some cases where a duotight connector was leaking and never knew why, guess the line wasn't far enough inside!
Dammit! I just got into this, spent $1500 at your store and now these come out. Great videos by the way! You are a natural - amazing you can do this in one take and you really know your stuff and it shows. "The other thing is..." never mind.. 😁
@@KegLand True, but have to play the waiting game for the stock to arrive. All good, the products are amazing as-is, you're just making them better. I have a suggestion for a new product- a ball lock connect with a duotight connect straight up (vertical) so you can put the auto stop device straight on top. It's just clunky as it is with the right-angle bends and multiple connectors. Sell it with the auto stop device as a package. Just an idea tho. Cheers
@@davyboy555 It's hard to know. The team in China do sell some stuff on Aliexpress but our main priority is to get the products out to our distributors first.
How many mm of beer line are you supposed to push into a duotight? It would be useful information until the marked fittings are more common. Maybe put it on each fitting's page.
@@andrewbarker1190 As the lid is already stainless steel this should be fairly simply. It's just a matter of swapping out some o-rings. Are you using the kegmenter for kettle souring or something?
@@KegLand I hadn't even thought about the kegmenter sterilising itself. No, I was just thinking about using a pressure vessel for sterilising some substrate for mushroom cultivation.
@@KegLand please ship to the Netherlands as well, Braumarkt and Brouwland are the 2 suppliers you need to get on board here and you will have basically all homebrewers.
@@Duci1989 If you ask Brouwland they will be able to order these for you now. Normally if retailers get asked for a product they will order it from us sooner.
Yes this is a great future. In the design process this was not our primary objective and we thought it would be impossible to achieve this but luckily we have just been able to make these low enough for this to work.
Hey Kee, After disassembling the ball locks and cleaning them in PBW, is it safe to dunk them in 180ºF / 82ºC water as an additional sanitizing step? (I use them with mixed fermentation beers)
I’m looking for a ball lock with an airlock on top. I want to switch from non pressure fermentation to pressure transfer without letting in air. Can’t find this device. I think it would do the trick.
Question regarding "The FatBoy" 9,5mm (3/8") for quicker transfer. My first attempt, connecting the 9,5 mm ball locks to both ends between a 55 l. FermZilla to a Keg, the transferring time actually increased. Measuring ID of the Carbonation Cap Barb sitting in lid of the Fermzilla to ≈ 4mm. I did NOT notice, nor understand how the beer flow would increase as long as Carbonation Cap works as a restrictor, besides at least in my case, only caused air and more foam than usual. My guess would be a need for a Carbonation Cap with upsizes barb to match ID hose size of the one between the FatBoyz, or what (where) did I actually miss (out) here ?
So what's next you going to make this thing flow control? Love the stuff you guys put out. One thing I wish you would put out is a t with 2 stems. It would be great for putting together manifolds with the stand t's. Les plastic fewer parts
What I would love is a connection to a supermarket bought mini keg to my kegerator. I love traipsing around the country finding brewers and getting them to fill up my 5l kegs. However sometimes I just want to go to Woolworths and pick up a pre filled mini keg. If you guys can get me a solution by the weekend I will be very happy😁
These are already getting made right now. We will do a video on these really soon. We had to get these out of the way first as some of the parts in these fittings are getting also used in the new Flow Control model
No probably not. If you have pin lock legs I would suggest that you get rid of them on ebay. we have no plans to bring out any gear to suit pinlocks. sorry
Hi the website says it's only compatible with 6.35mm tubing. Do you need an adapter to use the 3mm internal diameter tubing? ("EVABarrier 6.35mm x 9.5mm hosing only")
Yes we have all three sizes now on the website. So if it says only compatible with 6.35 (1/4) tubing then you are probably look at the wrong product. Have a look at the other models we also have on the website to take the larger tubing.
Yes we intentionally make the Evabarrier tubing with a tight fit. Many customers find it easier to wet the tubing before insertion. This makes it a lot easier to go into the hole. The tight fit is important to get a leak proof seal.
6 years ago before Kegland existed I bought a few of the cheaper larger plastic ones, they all cracked, the top part where you need a large flat screwdriver on all split open, I hadn't even opened them up to clean them, this must be where their weakness is, however I have bought a few of the ones you sell and I have had no issues, will you be selling barbed type disconnects at all?
Yes some of those plastic ones are totally garbage and the issue is some customers think that all plastic is garbage but really there is good and bad plastic and it's imporant to talk to your destributors about what plastics they are using so you can educate yourself on the difference. Good plastic costs a bit more but will last forever.
I’m curious what this possibly work for the new soda stream terra bottles they are quick connects I would like to be able torefill them. Any suggestions?
Do you mean connect onto the co2 cylinder directly? This is not a good idea? The co2 cylinders are unregulated and contain about 1500psi. (depending on temperature) but these ball lock disconnects are only suitable of about 150psi.
Great stuff, just what I was looking for! Stacking two small kegs in my kegerator has been a pain! When will the small EVAbarrier be available? Having 4 meters of beer line for each tap is getting hard to work with
This is a product that was easy to manufacture so it got finished earlier than expected and you can find the new Evabarrier 3mm ID here: www.kegland.com.au/evabarrier-3mm-1-8-x-6-35mm-1-4-double-wall-eva-12meter-length-in-bag-beer-line-gas-line.html
@@losFondos The Aliexpress sold products are mainly to service markets that we do not already have distributors operating. In Europe we have a number of distributors already but it just takes a bit of time for the new products to trickle all the way down to all the distributors.
@@losFondos You will have to go from 5/8 shank then use a reducer. So this will require 2 pieces. Alternatively we do have duotight shanks that have the 1/4 barb on the back so you can just put a female/female 1/4" (6.35mm) joiner to do this if this is the shank you are using.
I am sorry but I think it's too high for this. The series x has 71cm clearance and the height of the 9.5L kegs are 37cm so it's just not quite going to work.
Starsan does attack acetal (POM) and when it dries up on the surface of acetal it can etch the surface and cause chemical attack. If left in wet starsan it's not an issue but the concentrating effect of starsan drying on the surface of the fitting is the issue. If it remains dilute on the fitthen they they will happily sit in starsan all year long. with that said the this new duotight ball lock disconnect and all new duotight fittings are now getting made from polyketone (PK) which has higher chemical resistance. As a result you will not get any "dissolving" issues that you are talking about. Also some other plastics like nylon can also dissolve in phosphoric acid (such as starsan) but we also do not use any nylon on any of our fittings for this reason either. CMB still make disconnects out of nylon which is not as chemically resistant as PK. So give these a go. You will not have any issues with chemical resistance and this is one of the key selling points of this new design.
We are sold out in Australia but we have more arriving to our Noble Park Distribution Centre very soon. In the next couple months they will also start to pop up with our various distributors around the world. Where are you located?
@@briandempsey9367 If that is the case best if you contact one of our distributors in UK. Probably Malt Miller or Angel Home Brew. They will probably order form us soon as they frequently purchase parts from us and will be able to put on their next order.
"Neepa" 😂 also old disconnects can be opened with a butter knife, key ... a coin haha no need for large screw driver. Still cool but no need to invent problems that don't exist.
That is only one feature. The previous disconnects also did not have as good chemical resistance, under high pressure the o-ring would pop off, and last of all these are more compact so we can fit them into products such as our new mini kegerator more easily.
Where are you based in Europe. We have a number of different distributors you can can contact here: www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/viewer?mid=1N99UwS4hcd_2aexS2kxaxc-VW2Qitmg6&ll=16.704713324407358%2C-140.17100376641093&z=2
@@briandempsey9367 Sorry about that. This is a very new product and we are just ramping up production of these now. I think most likely you will see these in Europe and many other countries in another 2 months from now. As they are still very new it sometimes just takes a little bit longer for the stock to get out to all our distributors.
