Brewing my 2nd batch Thursday

You may be right, I think I could get away with never rotating it, and leaving it in the down position all the time. I looks like it sits high enough above the yeast that it would not be an issue, unless maybe I pitched on a yeast cake.....then it might be above the dip tube..... Only have 1...

that top leak is a PITA, found on my system the only way to stop it was to throttle back the pump. there is a flow restrictor in the fitting that I think makes to much back pressure combined with the fact that the threaded nipple on mine was a few threads to short.

The Anvil FIAK has the outside sealing gasket that is either a tad to small or tad to big depending on if you go with the 5 or 7 gallon version, think I am going to add that to the SSBT to help seal during pressure transfers, which is the next step in the process after I add a thermowell

I left it down... Think I am going to to get a Teflon washer to install on the inside of the racking arm/valve to make it easier to rotate

3/8 tubing was a bit loose....came off under gravity feed....but I was on top of the valve and turned it off. I think leaking is a non issue with the valve, it is well designed, you should see what I mean when you get yours. I did not dry hop this batch, but clean up was super simple....it is...

I did....you could tell it did something because it got a green tint to it..... I just finished up my first brew with the bucket....all the little things that went wrong were my fault, getting used to a new way of transferring....find a way to clamp the hose to the valve.....just sayin'...lol...

maybe your right, but it seemed to work out, it was really just another step in the cleaning process. SS really does not need to be passivated at our level (IMHO) but every little bit helps

Tell us about the drip tray

This is the way I see me doing it, and while I am at it, might make the predrilled stopper hole a tad bigger to accept regular fittings

guy is doing roughly 40+ MPH....the flash speed camera is set for 60 KMH

I have brewed once, Monday, everything work amazingly well. The whirlpool was nice, it will still take a few brews to get it all worked out. The temp probe comes down to choice, I have had them all over my systems, input...output... kettle...just depends on what works for you, I never saw...

I just wanted to say that I am not advocating for one over another, just wanted to share my wxexperien so far. Next week when I transfer things my go wrong and my opinion may change In the end, we just have to be have with the gear, no matter the cost

Indeed, you can slide a hose inside the Barb to push CO2
