You can half batch with a 14G Unitank!

The 14 gallon and half bbl are identical. PRV is set to 1.2 Bar.

Hey Bob, Sorry to hear you felt that we mishandled a situation on our Ssupport desk. However, I have to say, I reviewed the support tickets you're referring to in detail, and it really wasn't a product support issue in the first place, it was a request for a discount. I'm happy to post the...

It could be that you have two O-rings, when there should just be one O-ring. We have an updated FAQ on this: https://ssbrewtech.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/115000471303-My-Brew-Bucket-s-Ball-Valve-is-leaking-and-the-inner-O-ring-is-not-sealing-what-am-I-doing-wrong- Happy Brewing!

Hey! You can actually add our kettle thermometer to the InfuSsion Mash Tun. If you're handy and up to the task, all you need is a stepper bit to widen the thermometer port out to 13/16". Just keep in mind its best to drill the port out from both the interior and exterior of the vessel, since...

Sorry about the delay, been crazy busy around the office. Anywho, the China equation is something we started out with many years ago when we introduced the Brew Bucket. We are comfortable having gear manufactured there, and while lower labor costs and raw materials costs factor into the...

The kettle merely ships without any ports, and they install those domestically. 90-95% of the construction still happens in China. It would be an interesting analysis, but if you were to measure the seam weld running the entire circumference of the kettle, where the kettle bottom is attached...

I hate to split hairs and I dont mean any offense to Spike, but if you're trying to differentiate Spike's supply chain model from ours by saying that they DONT order from Chinese manufacturers and they make their own "stuff", you are misinformed. Spike also sources their vessels from Chinese...

Yes, I agree, it looks like a few ferrous metal surface deposits. Go ahead and give it a scrub with Bar Keepers Friend, and it should be gone, and never return. If you have any issues, please feel free to contact us directly, and we'll get you fixed up with a new coil, no questions asked...

Actually the optimal temp is 28 degrees. Anything less than that and you will experience icing. The problem with ice forming on your coil is that it acts as an insulator, and will actually hurt the performance of your chiller, preventing you from crashing below the high 30 degree range. Stick...

Thought I would pop in here and add that the added thickness of the 304 stainless (1.2 mm) material we use in our BME line of kettles is to reduce the chances of warping during the welding and dish bottom forming processes. There is no other practical reason to call out a thicker kettle...

Another great way for guys to use the Brew Bucket with alot of dry hops is to lose the nylon bag, those things can be bacteria traps and can clog the racking arm! Just snag a small section of 3/8" ID silicone tubing. Slide it over the end of your racking arm, and it will act as a racking...

We have had guys email in that they use both, its sort of the ultimate setup. The Autosparge to control flow, recirculation manifold to better disperse sparge water or mash recirculation. The Autosparge terminates to a 3/8" ID tube, so it hooks up directly. Cheers, Michael

Correct, the ports are setup for 1/2" NPT fittings so you can add one of our bulkheads for the thermometer or recirculation accessories.
