I'm sure there will be a lot of opinions here. Hopefully some of you will find the topic interesting. Am trying to get ahead of kid problems around my keezer. I'm toying with the idea of installing a solenoid valve on my beer lines and using some kind of authentication to open up the valve...

You should only restrict the output, by the way

Well...i have a 15g spike kettle that i put a spud into for a 5500w element (included). It has a 50 ft 1/2 coil with compression fittings. Spike’s metal enclosed sight glass. I haven’t looked into shipping

Where are you. Have one in delaware

Gotcha. Understand

Ummm...why not just ignore the extra conductor you don’t need?

I take a piece of copper wire and make a hook on the end. Takes a few tries, but you can grab it

Make one. Takes about an hour and costs less than $20

I'm adding a RO filter to my brewery. Instead of the normal cheap faucet that are usually associated with RO systems (that I don't want to drill into my nice staineless sink)...I am thinking about putting a bulkhead thru the wall above my sink. The bulkhead would ideally present a liquid ball...

A followup to my post earlier. I plan on trying to build bcs logic to only chill the glycol to the temperature neighborhood that my ferm requires to save $.

I use an stc1000 to control my homebuilt glycol chiller (static at 25f) and use bcs to control a pump and heating pad for my spike conical. I have the gear for a second conical, but havent plumbed it up yet. Works great so far

It wasn't too bad to make with reflectix. I used paper to make a template of the cone section and do the cutouts for the TC ports. It took a few pieces of overlapping paper to make it manageable. I then traced the template on to a piece of reflectix...and trimmed it to stop where the...

I couldn’t wait so i wrapped mine in reflectix. I think it looks pretty good and probably won’t get the neoprene. It took about an hour to make each one.

This is probably a stupid question...but I'm going to ask it just in case. I have a conical that I CIP. Do I need to remove all the TC fittings and check them....resantize each time? I took one off and it was clean on the conical side. I assume that as long as I drain things after CIP that...

Not both. But you are welcome to come see my two spikes I live near 896 and 95
