    Massachusetts 1/2bbl Brewing Setup

    Just a note: Due to the interest I'm getting in the full package elsewhere, I'm not currently interested in selling the fermenters separately from the brew system.

    Massachusetts 1/2bbl Brewing Setup

    We've done around a dozen batches in each of them. The neoprene jackets went on when we bought them (new from MoreBeer in January 2018) and haven't come off since. They haven't taken any hits that would have caused a ding or dent though. They are both finishing up ferments right now, but I can...

    Massachusetts 1/2bbl Brewing Setup

    Unitanks are as shown here: https://www.ssbrewtech.com/collections/all-unitanks/products/half-bbl-unitank They are missing the digital thermometer, but are otherwise complete. We use a temperature controller from Inkbird with them to control a wrap of 12" wide heat tape and a solenoid off of...

    Large Collection of (Mostly) SS Fittings

    Some context: I'm running a small brewery solo right now. We could use the cash so I'm making the effort to sell this stuff, but I don't have the time to figure out a fair price for all of these items. I'm mostly just trying to clean house though, so make a reasonable offer and I'll probably...

    Large Collection of (Mostly) SS Fittings

    Over the years I've amassed a stupid collection of fittings, many of which are sitting in a box collecting dust. Time to clean house! Figure asking price is 2/3 of what each item sells for new. Feel free to try to talk me down. A picture and a complete list of everything is below. If you need...

    Massachusetts (6) 55 gallon Plastic Conicals w/ Cooling

    I upgraded to stainless, so I'm getting rid of 6 of these 1.5bbl plastic conicals. They are of the 55 gallon, full drain type and outfitted as follows: - 1-1/2" MPT x 1-1/2" TC in bottom with a 1-1/2" butterfly valve - Stainless bulkhead fitting at the 2.5 gallon mark with a pickup tube...

    DIY glycol chilled plastic conical fermenters

    I've been planning pretty much this exact build out myself and just stumbled on this thread. Some good ideas for improvement on my design! Any chance you could elaborate a bit on the fittings you used to connect the IC to the quick connect studs? Compression to NPT Adapter? And do you have a...

    How big of a batch size before heating becomes unnecessary?

    Thanks, this puts things in much better perspective. I did some rough calculations taking into account changes in fermenter geometry and it looks like the SA/V ratio in a 15G conical (with 10G in it) is almost the same as in a 6G plastic carboy.

    How big of a batch size before heating becomes unnecessary?

    Pretty much like the subject line says. I know at commercial breweries cooling is all that's ever necessary on the fermenters, since the yeast in those huge batches generates so much heat. But, I generally find I need to give my carboys a little extra heat in the winter, when the ambient temp is...

    Soldering Stainless steel

    I soldered short ferrules into my kettle. Clearance with the wings on the clamp can be tight depending on orientation, but I don't find it to be an issue. I dimpled outward and pushed the ferrules in by hand though (which was a pain). If you dimpled inward it might put the flange too close to...

    My FULL-ON electric build thread

    Are those skateboard wheels mounted between the rotors? Definitely a genius design. What kind of flow rates do you get with it?

    Purpose of Pigtail on a GFCI Breaker?

    Thanks guys. I figured that was the case, but I wanted to check before I potentially ruined such an expensive breaker. I'm concerned about the neatness of it only because I'm going to put all my relays in my spa panel. Tucking that wire out of the way opens up a surprising amount of space.
