I have used hop bags and a 400 micron stainless canister. I did find that the 400 micron is too fine to get all of the hop flavor and IBU's that you planned to get. The hop bags worked great, and my other recipes were pretty much on target with a less fine filter. I'm not sure that te conical...

Mine is a Unibrau Pro, which is sold out on the website, and not a Unitank. The Unitank certainly looks jacketed. Also, Stephen, from BrauSupply, will reply to your emails. Sometimes it takes him a few days. He has been very responsive to any issues that I have had.

There is a stainless coil inside the fermenter. Originally, it came with a solenoid valve that connected to the faucet and it was activated by the control unit to turn it on and off to regulate temperature. It worked well in winter, but tap water was too warm for summer brewing, unless it was a...

This is way late, but, I have a Unibrau Pro and make 5 gallon batches with a 1650w element. I added a 600w element to speed up the process. Basically I make 6.5 gallons to get a 5 gallon batch.

So, back to the original questions, my Unibrau is a Unitank. I don't force carbonate in it, I do that in the keg. I do pressurized transfers. I think that I got a Unitank during a transition period for Unibrau and I got it for the price of just a Unibrau Pro, so under $3k. It looks like the new...

The Unibrau is basically, the brew system without the fermenter. I believe the grain basket is the same and the RIMS system is the same. I use 2 heating elements 1650w and 600w on different circuits at 120v. The controller works well and lets you set the parameters for heating or cooling. I...

I get it. I'm an outsider in this forum. I will try to stay in my domain.

I have an SS Brewtech glycol chiller, but I've seen a new one from Blichmann. I like mine but I'm sure others are great too.

The 3/8 hp will do fine for 10 gallons since it really shouldn't be used for the initial cooling. You could actually run multiple fermenters off of the 3/8 hp just for temperature control. The larger is really complete overkill.

I have had the same experience as far as when to convert to the chiller. They are not designed for the massive initial cooling. I like to try and get it to 75F if possible before switching, and even lower in winter.

I have the Brau Supply 5 gallon BIAC system. It works great and is similar in most ways to the Brewha. The colander just has regular holes in the bottom and will hold a stated 20 lb. of grain but it seems maxed at about 18 lb. I would love it if it had a wire wedge colander. I used to brew with...

From the pictures on the website, it appears to be a new jacketed system. I have a Unibrau Pro that uses the internal cooling coil.

I have the Unibrau 5 gallon system and I just open the 4 inch port on the lid and pop my hop cylinder in within a few seconds. I usually do this near the end of primary fermentation due to experienced hop creep if done later. So, it is still fermenting and will get any O2 out of there soon after...

Every part of the system is replaceable and uses tri clamp fittings. For me, it takes up little space and allows me to do a brew day in 3.5 hours. Keg and clean day takes an hour. The system is ready to go again after cleaning and many times I just keg, clean, and do new brew same day. Also, I...

I have the Unibrau Pro 5 gallon system. It is very compact and I have had great results so far. I have been brewing with it for about a year and have done about 10 brews on it. There is nothing as compact and professional for all grain brewing. I assume that the Brewha is about the same, but the...
