Auto Siphon Filter SS (3/8″ & 1/2″) $34.95 Out of stock SKU: 5389Category: Auto Siphons

I bought a 1.125” diameter x 21” long cylindrical stainless steel micron filter from Quirky Homebrew Supply in Denver. It just slips into the glass carboy neck and extends all the way down to the bottom of my 6.5 gal carboy. It works great!

I didn’t mean to say you can’t brew 10 gallons with this 15 gallon system. My desired goal, in the end, would be to fill 2 five gallon Cornies completely full. One can certainly fill 2 five gallon fermenters with the 15 gallon system with no trouble at all. I use 6 gallon fermenters. With this...

One of my friends asked me if I was missing any StarSan. He's had similar experiences with his conical fermenters. It seemed unlikely as I pitched the yeast at 65 F. At high krausen it had risen to 68 F. My basement is 63 F. Apparently the change in temp was sufficient to suck back Star San...
