Not to worry, we arent hung up at all! Just trying to make progress in every way possible, but continuing to brew great beer in the meantime, and to be honest the primary reason for me with pressure fermenting is not so much about the quality of the beer (though I am excited about that as well)...

One option I'm considering is it appears that the spike lid is the same size and may be compatible, would probably end up running me around $130. I was hoping for a cheaper solution though.

As many have mentioned, 60 is likely fine but may slow things down a bit. Keep in mind that when fermentation does take off it's exothermic and will produce heat. Depending where thermometer is, size of room, etc., you likely will be getting temperature readings a degree or two below what you...

Are these still available?
