Ok! I see... after some digging around, Thielmann is a company that makes Kegs. So they make, among other things, "Senke" kegs. The word "Thielmann" was prominently stamped into the keg. Sweet! I am ordering two couplers today! At $25 bucks each, it is not a burden.

So this? https://www.amazon.ca/YaeBrew-Ergonomic-Stainless-European-Coupler/dp/B07DWMJSPK/ref=sr_1_4?keywords=s+coupler&qid=1560461123&s=gateway&sr=8-4 Thanks!

So are these kegs called Sanke kegs? Sorry, I only know about the ball lock soda kegs I have now.

YES! The "S" coupler picture is exactly it!

Hi all, I was given a couple of what I think are called "Thielmann" kegs by a friend. It has a connection method I have never seen before. I have done a bit of research on the googlewebs and I think it might be called an "S coupler". By the way, these used to hold Heineken beer if that helps...

Lol. What I meant was, your hop additions read like a NEIPA recipe. In my head it made sense. Hahaha.

I didn't invent this... But I've been tweaking it to suit my pallet. This is just a really nice drinkable (quaffable!!) beer. For me, it's a "beer drinkers beer." For the yeast, I usually use US-05, but I have also used WLP001. Of course, don't follow my acid or salt additions as your water...

Oh ok. Yes, I suppose another week or so is better than just dumping it now.

well ok. So here is the final result in case anybody was following. So the beer has been in my Keezer since primary fermentation was done. basically 3 weeks. It does have an "odd" flavour. Not horrible... but not good. I have opted to dump it. So I am going to add this to the...

Also, I just checked, the element controller I currently have IS rated for 240 volt! So I could get one nice wavy 240V element and control it with my controller. Not only that, if I just use one 240v element, I don't need to worry about screwing around with splitting a 240v supply to run two...

Shoot! That would have been nice.. except the holes in my kettle are 1 inch. I suppose I could just do some thing like this: https://www.hopgoblin.com/1-NPT-to-1-2-NPT-Bushing-Stainless-Steel-p/be64124.htm The nut and O-ring seal on my current element will fit that. and then and then...
