I’ve never done a beer that big, but I’ve also never had a blowout. As you note, a domed lid can be helpful from that perspective. I use the 7gal brew bucket with a domed lid and have been quite happy. I also have the blowoff connected to a trub trapper to eliminate that risk (and to prevent...

This one is for a 10 gallon Spike. Total OD is 13.5” with a height of 16”. Yes, mesh only would be significantly cheaper. The price is higher on this due to what I assume is the extra labor cost. This one was unique custom. They basically had to create two cylinders and do extra welding to...

Not cheap. This basket was $280. I’m sure a solid sided basket would run cheaper given it requires less parts/effort to build.

Here’s the basket I ordered. I hope to get a brew in over the next couple weeks. Will revert back on my thoughts.

In!

Bump. PM me best offer

My former setup was direct fired (under the HLT and BK). I’m looking forward to moving away from propane and being able to brew small batches over the winter. As I’ll be on 120V, I’ll do whatever I can to try to retain the heat within the pot. My kettle and other parts should be in over the next...

When I bought my bucket, the FTSs2 wasn’t available for the brew bucket. So I bought he FTSs (cooling only). They seem to have the FTSs2 for buckets listed on the website now. I currently use the equivalent of an FTSs2 but have a DIY CraftBeerPi controller, glycol (its in the mini fridge), and...

I use a 7gal brew bucket. I decided to mount the coil through the side of the bucket so that I could used a domed lid with some TC fittings I have for CIP, pressurized transfers with PRV, etc.

3 weldless keggles (HLT, MT, and BK) all leak free for sale. Need to downsize from my propane 3V HERMS and building a new eBIAB from ground up. Also have Chugger pump, 10gal BoilCoil, and other miscellaneous items for sale. Let me know if you need something. The prices below include all...

Anyone build an insulating sleeve for their mash tun or fermenter? I am looking to build a durable sleeve for my new eBIAB kettle. I currently use Reflectix bubble wrap on my mash tun in the old 3V setup. I’d like to go to a more “permanent” option or something that I wouldn’t have to worry...

Well.. I’ve ordered a basket to these specs and will report back on results, numbers, etc. Will take a few weeks to manufacture.

Seems easy enough for one of the usual manufacturers to build. If there's any value to it, the key is probably the depth at which you transition from solid to Mesh. I have absolutely no data to know what might work best, so I'll probably just wing it based on my usual batch size and shooting...

Could a hybrid basket design provide a middle ground? I've been considering building something similar to this rough drawing. Solid at the top of the basket to avoid sparge water or recirculating wart from running out of or over the sides of the basket. Mesh towards the bottom of the basket to...

Agree. Power seems low but coming from a propane fired 3 vessel HERMS wasn't sure if it was doable. Planned to use a 2250W at 120v in my setup (should be about 18.75 amps - need a 20amp circuit!).

I've been pulling together a build list for a new recirculating eBIAB setup (5gal/120v). In this next kit, I'm looking to address the little things that probably fall into the "prefer" rather than the "need" category. (My current build list includes Custom Spike kettle w/ welded fittings, TC...

Looking to get a new Spike kettle for my setup. What size do you have and do you have the specs for your basket?

Come to papa! Cheers!

Anyone use Front Panel Express or some other supplier of custom panels or enclosures for their brew controllers? Any recommendations? Cheers, M

Haven't been able to brew since the last batch. Pros: Easily get down to lagering temps and good enough for cold crash. Cleaner look than most DIY glycol chilling setups (keep it next to the bar in my basement). Cheap. Cons: Won't be able to manage significant temp differentials for larger...
