Saw that with the guy at my local hb shop but he was out of stock and wouldn't sell me the one on the regulator.. Sounds good, thanks for the aid.

Ive read that both of the gaskets attached (regular gasket and silicon regulator stem o ring) can be used for the shown regulator. The original one I removed looked like it was placed similar to how I have the silicone sitting in the image. Should I be using just that as the setup or a different...

Could you post/link the video please? I've seen it somewhere before but couldn't locate it when traveling back 10+ pages on this thread =)

DM sent.

+1 on this, went the used route for a cheap "Buy 4 for $xx.xx" and ended up sending all of them back immediately due to their condition. Won't make that mistake again.

I'm now thinking it would be best to do a secondary transfer to one of my carboys that will seal for doing the lager process.

For someone who's just looking into harvesting yeast, is the top or the bottom the good stuff?

It's my first time using my DIY stainless fermenter. The 6 gallon pot had a hole punched through the top for the bung/airlock, and I purchased a seal and followed instructions based off the following thread...

Thanks, and you're right, the answer was pretty simple/clear. I think my brain has gotten a little overwhelmed while reading the other 29 page Spike thread over the last 3 days =)

Spike also mentions multiple color variations for determining what yeast to keep for re-use and what to discard. Any good sources on such colors for someone who is just starting with capturing yeast? PS Just finished reading this thread in its entirety and I must say I'm so happy I took the...

Should using pure sodium percarbonate vs. oxiclean yield better results or should one expect about the same?

So does that mean pressure lessens as temperature drops? And if so, at what rate? At first I thought: to have positive pressure I'd need to make sure there was enough co2 in there to not be completely absorbed by the liquid in addition to it changing due to pressure drop. I feel like its better...

By naturally do you mean you have co2 connected..? Crushing a conical is one of my biggest fears. Is it only when going down in temperature that this may be a problem? How can a person operate to make sure this never happens?

Is anyone with homemade glycol chillers getting their cf/unitanks down to the desired 28-30degF?

I'm new to the whole idea of glycol (a lot has been just brief skimming while mostly staying on top of this thread). Can you explain why a chest freezer won't accommodate a glycol setup? I'm probably wrong somewhere, but it sounds like there is a glycol/water mixture brought down to below...

Ok, weighing all my factors, room isn't as much of an issue for me, but I like the idea of being able to chill multiple at one time. Also, I already have a chest freezer (used previously for carboys), which I could utilize for a glycol setup if I went that route. If I leverage my chest freezer...

Not related strictly to Spike conicals, but is the main reason why so many people go the glycol route (as opposed to storing in an upright freezer) space? All things considered (more setup/labor, materials, weak points that have potential to cause problems) why aren't people connecting a basic...

UPS Ground Shipping to South Pasadena with "my own package" (since they don't offer boxes online that accommodate size) its $70. That is with me putting an additional 2-3" on length, width, and height dimensions to calculate for packaging in the box. The only additional item is the box and...

14 Gallon Blichmann Conical Fermentor with Tri-Clamp fittings for sale. I've used it once, it's literally still in new condition. Reason for selling is I just have too much equipment/gear in the garage, am going through remodeling and just need space. And, obviously it isn't being used...
