I'm not cheap. It's an interesting thing about Homebrewers. Some things they will spend on with reckless abandon, but others the tighten up like a hipsters skinny jeans. Sent from my iPad using Home Brew

Homebrewers tend to be a cheap group. Sent from my iPad using Home Brew

Neither of mine or any of my friends that have them have problems with leaking. I have not brewed with mine, just pressurized it with CO2. Sent from my iPad using Home Brew

1/2 a gallon isn't very much overhead. Most 5 gallon batches I brew I lose at least that in the trub/yeast cake. But it could be done. You hurt need to figure out your process using the equipment you have. Nothing is impossible. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

This is what I did. It's in a 24 cu ft chest freezer kegerator. I currently have 5 lfaucets with a shank for one more. The lines are run one the 2X6 collar from the front to the back. Works pretty well but I need to do something about the gas lines. The mounts a cable tie mounts screwed into...

Rumor is they are working on a coolant system of some sort. I have a glycol chiller so that's what I will be using. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Got to check out another new product SSBrewtech is working on. They are coming out with a weld less setup for their digital fermenter thermometer. Did not get a price. Sent from my iPad using Home Brew

It would depend on the temp outside. I have a 55 gallon drum wrapped with 4 layers of bubble wrap insulation and cooked by 35 degree glycol through a transmission cooler with fans on it. I can get a 1/2 BBL keg of fermented wort down into the 40s in my garage in winter. In summer it struggles to...

Well I was hanging out at a local brewery and ran into one of the owners of SSBrewtech. I am not one of the owners or an employee, I just seemed to run into people since My wife and I hang out a lot at the breweries and I was president of my Homebrew club for 4 years. Anyway, we were talking...

I have a lot of Carboys, and am getting rid of all of them. With the cool new plastics and cheaper SS the glass is just not a safe option. Anytime I think a lass carboy is cool I look down at my leg at the scar I have from an exploding carboy. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

A good clean with Hot PBW should clean off the vast majority of things. Anything left over should wipe off. No need for Bar Keepers Friend. Scrubbing with bar keepers friend is a bit extreme and hard on the surface if not needed. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Unfortunately there are very few companies that actually manufacture SS anything in the states anymore. Those that do, buy their SS raw from China. Some high end aerospace SS is supplied by US companies, but there are very few Homebrewers that could afford that and very few of them would be...

I talked to the owners of SSBrewtech and they know about the problems with their site. This pre-sale was something like 800 units and many people were ordering more than one. The demand and multiple orders crashed the servers and cause problems. They will be releasing more for sale soon. They...

Have you check to make sure your airlock is sealed properly? Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Do you have pictures of the scratches? I know pics like that can be tough to take, but I would like to see what they are like for reference.

The center is not going to be the most accurate. The volume of these do not lend themselves to large gradients in temperature from the outer surface to the center of the beer. And in the case that there is a large gradient you would be better off at point on the radius from the outside surface...

This may be a bit of confusion, it is not a hole, it is a thermowell. If you do not put anything in the thermowell, it does not let liquid out since it is completely sealed.

I took a look at my bucket and it does look like an electrical etching process. I have seen this at work, and it is very durable. So I emailed SSbrewtech and they confirmed that it is an electrical etching process Sent from my iPad using Home Brew

Jealous. I need to brew. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew
