    Fermentation temp control

    You are correct that is the current setup i have for heating now. And cooling i have it in my keezer but i want to use my keezer for finished kegs.

    Fermentation temp control

    As much as required but a good yeti cooler should keep it quite a while. Its only maintaining temperature i cant imagine once i get it to fermentation temps that it would even be on a whole lot. I live in michigan so at the moment im more interested in the heating side rather then the cooling.

What i want to do is use temptwister cooling coils for obviously the cooling but it occured to me i may be able to do heating as well with...

    Concial fermenter

    Here are a couple pictures of the tri clamp fittings I went with a 2 pc NPT ball valve as the tri clamp ball valves are a little on the pricey side. I still have to put the hole in the side for the sample valve ferrule and weld that in and obviously still alot of cleanup and polishing to do as...

    Concial fermenter

    Nope sure didn't just didn't have the time to do it and then had a baby so been pretty busy with all that just now getting back to it.

    Also for all those who are interested the next project is a 20 gallom electric Brew kettle. That one should be realitivly simple compared to this one.

    Concial fermenter

    While you may be right about being able to get 2 15" cones with a 60° angle out of one 30" circle i disagree with it being more efficient. The cones i am using can be cut from a piece of material 24" x 16" so to get 2 i would need a piece 24" x 32" and a full sheet comes in at 48" x 96" so i can...
