    Spike CF30 Conical Batch Sizes

    Anyone have any issues with only 10 gal in their CF30 conical? Any problems cold crashing it? I'm putting together a 30 gal system and looking at Spike's CF 30 conical for it. While most my batch sizes will be 15-20gal, I will brew on occasion a 10 gallon batch. Spikes website shows the...

    1/2 BBL Conical Fermenter Volumes

    I'm looking to brew 3 full corneys per batch, so figured a 1/2 BBL conical would fit this nicely. I see that SS Brewtech's holds 17gal and Spike's holds 18gal. I'm wondering how well that works when you factor in high krassen. Is there enough room with 15gal liquid plus yeast/hop material and...

    Dry Hop Timing

    I'm looking for your advice and rationale on this. It's my first time dry hopping (making a PseudoSue clone here). Currently on day 1 of fermentation. I'm planning to add 3oz of cryo citra (25%) directly to my beer. It's currently fermenting in a fermzilla all rounder. I have another vessel...

    Self priming pump for whirlpooling

    Hey all, I have a 10.5 foundry and am into brewing hoppy beers. I'm constantly fighting my anvil pump when transferring to my fermentor as it would clog with some hop/protein debris. Previously I'd whirlpool my wort while cooling then stop the whirlpool to use my pump for filling the fermenator...

    Scaling with BeerSmith vs Brewfather Troubles

    Scaling a recipe and color change

    I'm new to the hobby and only a dozen all grain brews in. All with the recipes I use, while designed for 5gal batches, don't yield me an actual full corny. I tend to be about 4/4.5gal in the corny unless I allow a lot of grainy dissolved hops into the fermenter or trub into the keg. I'm mashing...

    Scaling a recipe to 4 gallons

    Hey guys. I've got 5 brews in now and am now trying to make a high abv brew. My 10.5 foundry doesn't recommend going over 16lbs grain so I scaled down from a 5gal batch to 4gal. My question is this: the manual says to use 8.2gal water (no sparge) for 16lbs grain. Since I've scaled down to 4gal...
