@Zachary Macmillen both of the silicone sleeves should be coated in Haynes Lube and inserted into the tube. The reason they creep up is that the sleeves are not properly lubed, or have dried out and need maintenance. This should be a periodic maintenance check and the reason I no longer screw my...

As a reminder to everyone. Always pay really close attention to the sound your Zymatic makes when first turned on. This will be the first indication that you might be low on glycol. It should not sound like the pump is cavitating at all and it should not surge.

@aviation6614 we don't currently have a document for the reservoir build. If you search this thread you can see what others have done from a simple tube to the top to something more elaborate like an oil catch can. I sent you a PM in case you were needing the Glycol Refill procedure

FYI for anyone needing to rebuild their Stepper Arm. When you put the arm back together, remember to use this (Haynes 80S Lubri-Film Plus) lubricant. If you don't use a good food grade lube, you will ruin the seals in a very short time. Also, here is a link back to when I rebuilt my stepper arm...

@Agates I sent you a PM

I never created an Alignment Guide for this procedure. What I learned is that the physical disk controls the alignment of the arm. This means that alignment can be slightly off at some of the holes as the arm swings around. Your best bet is to align the arm at the HOME position and make fine...

Depending upon the specific gravity of your wort, altitude and barometric pressure, your boil temps can be drastically different. I frequently reach boil anywhere from 209F to 212F, depending upon what and when I'm brewing. I definitely wouldn't want to be standing there watching the entire time...

The guys at UTAH BIODIESEL do custom work if you can't find one.

@rfinley Are you looking to do something different than what is already available for "auto-boil detect"? Because the system already handles detecting when the boil starts and then moves to the next step. As to hearing back from Darin on the open sourcing of the code, no response. I'll reach...

Sorry folks, our brewery has been at a festival all weekend and I've been busy. If you need the glycol instructions, PM me and I'll give you my email address.

@soniczero PM'd you

That little silicone valve is a Cross Slit One Way Duck Check Valve. I've yet to be able to locate an exact match, but again I have not put a lot of effort into it since I found one that I shoe-horned into it. I think I was searching for one that was 1/2" x 1/2" x 1/4" (13mm x 13mm x 6mm) or so...

As for the step filter holes, just fill them with food grade silicone since you should be hand-washing them any way. Those holes were originally designed for draining when placed in the dishwasher. I have not found a source for those, but honestly, I have not looked. I'm not sure a "spare...

Pull the pump head apart and look at the seals. I had a grain husk get stuck in mine and it exhibited similar symptoms. But it could also just be a bad pump head, as they were never designed for high temps. I replaced my drain pump with the slightly larger pump, search this thread where I give...

I'll give them a look, thanks.

Yes, these two units are still in production operation. I purchased both units in July of 2020. I have three, 1 BBL, uninsulated, SS BrewTech ferms and one uninsulated SS Brewtech,1/2 BBL Uni connected to one of the chillers, and one 1 BBL, uninsulated (except for the foam cover), SS BrewTech...

I can confirm that the gaskets I got from Conical Fermenter, DO NOT work as well for a sight glass seal. The gaskets are flat and do not protect the glass from the wall of the housing, due to the lack of a ridge. They do seal pretty well and could be used in a pinch, and since I had to order 10...
