I’m going to throw in a 14G SS Brewtech bucket brewmaster edition!

updated the listing

What parts are you interested in?

Just to let everyone interested know: I decided to get out of the hobby and listed my complete setup for sale. It is in the classified section!

Complete 20 gallon UniBräu system by Braü supply. It comes with the superior Blichmann BrewCommander touchscreen controller. This is a 220V system and brews 10 gallon batches easily. I love the system but decided to get out of the hobby. I paid: - UniBrau: $2,299.00 - Brewcommander: $459.97...

no i just use the Unibrau temp probe sleeve. The probe fits in there perfectly

Thanks for your reply! I like the idea of the NorCal brewing false bottom. I guess this would be a custom build though for the 20G kettle. Do you intend to use the Brau Supply dip tube still? Thanks for the other suggestions and I'll look into the Brewfather software.

My first brew on my 20G Unibrau was a 5 gallon pale ale. I was trying to get my feet wet without running the risk of effin' up 10 gallons of beer. I Pretty much winged my way through it. I "graduated" from a 3 vessel system with plastic coolers and a keggle so this one vessel setup it still...

First brew on my Unibrau last weekend. Went through a steep learning curve and I felt like I did when I first tried a brew on my 3 V setup! I didn’t do any dry runs so it was trial and error while hoping to produce a decent enough beer at the end. 5 gallon batch, 12lbs of grains. According to...

All sold

Thanks everyone for your input! After reading all this I’ve decided to just go get my 5lb filled at my lhbs when it needs to be! I’ll use the 20lb for carbonating all beers and serving the sipping beers in the garage.

High pressure stuff always freaks me out for some reason but I have a 20LB tank on my garage kegerator and a 5LB tank in my outdoor kitchen kegerator and I would like to be able to fill the 5lb with the 20lb.. Does anyone do this? If so, please let me know what you are doing! Thanks

Wow 6 months in a 5 gal! Seems like that would be pretty overpowering on the rum/oak, were there any apple notes left?

good point. 2 weeks will probably be plenty. And yes, I’ve been rotating it.

I did it! I ordered a Unibräu 20G. For a controller I decided to go with the Blichmann Brewhouse Controller Brew Commander 240V in stead of the Brau supply controller. Excited! (and no, I didn’t get a stimulus check lol)
