    Spike Conical- observations and best practices

    That's great! I was somehow under the impression that I'd need to put even more into the fermenter to account for losses associated with dumping trub/hops. Appreciate the input!

    Spike Conical- observations and best practices

    Mostly geared towards CF5 owners, but I'm curious about trub/yeast dumps and their effect on packaging volume. I know it can be highly dependent on recipe, dry hops, etc., but are you able to consistently package 5 gallons? What volume do you aim for into the fermenter? Cheers!

    Spike Conical- observations and best practices

    Thanks for the reply! Sounds like maybe Kveik would need to wait until the weather warms up, but I'd likely be good to go for other yeasts. I've only ever used buckets and carboys without a chamber, so I'm really looking forward to finally being able to control temps. Cheers!

    Spike Conical- observations and best practices

    Whew, what a thread! I finally made it through all 64(!) pages and I'm getting closer to pulling the trigger on the CF5. Thanks to everyone for this amazing collection of opinions, tips, tricks, and best practices! I do have a question on the TC-100... When I get my CF5, I plan to ferment in my...

    Goodbye Swamp Cooler, Hello Fermentation Chamber

    Would you by chance be able to take a picture of the Anvil bucket in the fridge? Just trying to get an idea of what the fit is like. Cheers!

    Hole drilling experience with Magic Chef 4.4 Freezerless

    Thanks for all the great detail! I saw another thread where someone added a collar (different fridge) and then they were able to fit the 7.5G Anvil if they turned it...do you think a similar setup would work with this fridge?

    Anvil 7.5 Bucket Owners - What fridge for fermentation chamber?

    I'm considering picking up an Anvil 7.5G bucket fermenter and getting set up with a fermentation chamber as well, so I'm looking for recommendations on what fridge to use. The challenge, of course, is the non-collapsible handles that make the width 16.5". I know I'll end up needing to build a...

    Hole drilling experience with Magic Chef 4.4 Freezerless

    Did you end up buying this one? If so, would you be willing to take a few interior measurements for me (width/height/depth to compressor hump)? Still thinking about the right fridge to start with. 😒 I'm thinking of picking up an Anvil 7.5G bucket fermenter and am trying to figure out my best...

    Would you be willing to take a few interior measurements for me (width/height/depth to compressor hump)? I'm thinking of picking up an Anvil 7.5G bucket fermenter and am trying to figure out what fridge to start with for a chamber, given the extra width of the non-collapsible handles (16.5"). I...

    Goodbye Swamp Cooler, Hello Fermentation Chamber

    Is this setup working well with the Anvil fermenter? I'm thinking of buying one and pairing it with a similar chamber build, so looking for input. Chamber looks awesome by the way! 👍

    Hole drilling experience with Magic Chef 4.4 Freezerless

    I was considering this fridge for my own chamber build, but this comment threw me a bit. Would it be better to try and find a fridge that doesn't have the 3-5 min (or similar) delay, or would this one be fine provided that the temp controller is able to handle it via short cycle delay? If it's...
