    Spike Conical- observations and best practices

    I really like the inline sight glas from brewhardware.....as I rotate the racking arm I can see when it begins to pick up trub and I just leave it just above that

    Spike Conical- observations and best practices

    Cold crashed over the past few days and went to harvest yeast today and I’m short a 2” tri clamp (to connect a 2” hose barb in order to funnel that yeast sludge much more easily than just straight outta the butterfly valve) Well I have one on order but my question is, can I go ahead and rack...

    Ya I know about the valve I thought he was saying he just straight seals it up without the valve

    I'm just not in the business of refilling my CO2 tank so much, plus it's kinda busy being attached to my manifold in my keezer. I've never heard of someone sealing the CF up with a few points to go on your gravity reading. Ever get scared it's gonna go crazy high pressure on you??

    Will this work in a non pressurized transfer?

    Dang. I dry hopped yesterday (day 6). I guess I’ll wait to cold crash and see what’s up then. Hopefully the hop residue don’t mix in too much. Jag are you saying there’s no advantage to cold crashing or are you saying that because you leave it in for 3 weeks it’s clarified enough anyways...

    When do you guys find is the best time to harvest yeast from the CF using the dump port?

    Finally brewed yesterday. Placing casters on my table the BK sits on was perfect. Rolled it to my fridge and placed a cam lock port on the lid and pumped it straight into the CF.

    Electric Brewery Quality??

    Dude you went full tilt!!! That's awesome!

    Setback Stories

    For sure electric is the only way to go IMO, that dang washer in the riptide, you're talking about the tiny stainless one on the shaft right?? I have no idea how I haven't lost mine yet. They should just come shipped with at least 5 of em they're so small! That reminds me, the plastic part...

    Looking for most budget eBIAB set up

    It probably only works with a plastic container because they aren't perfectly air tight. But as long as you pitch the next day and had the lid on for a few minutes of the boil (to sanitize the lid itself) I wouldn't worry about a perfect seal. That foil will do nothing for you. Just leave the...

    Liquids do not shrink as they cool....only gasses do

    This statement alone makes me wanna say stay away from electrical brewing lol!!

    Setback Stories

    When I entered the electrical world of brewing, I knew one day I'd experience some technical issues that would bite me in the a$$....... Well, after I have now had 2 straight brewing weekends cancelled due to electrical issues I figure we could share our setback stories. I'm sure some of you...

    Found a pretty cool attachment, after using the CIP, roll your conical outside and hook this bad boy onto the CIP and let her rip using a garden hose to rinse with your ports open found here: https://www.brewhardware.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=TC15M34FGH

    Spike Conical- observations and best practices

    Is there a clear inline sight glass I can buy cuz I can’t see yeast/Trub being sucked up as I use silicone hose for racking. Or something that I can throw on my 1.5” racking port?

    Spike Conical- observations and best practices

    Welp I was all pumped to brew today and try out the CF10 finally and my Aubrey Ezboil PID decides to take a ****. No communication at all to the temp probe even after I changed out the probe and the wire. That leaves only the pid. UGHHHHHHHH ruined my whole day

    OK....got me an aeration system......just the typical stone with a hose and a tank.... Here's my NEW thoughts on method.....why not aerate in the boil kettle after chilling then transfer directly into the blowoff port on the Conical to keep you from having to use the top 4" port?
