    Doubling Down: SS Brewtech Conical + FTSS + Glycol Power Pack

    So cool (pun intended) you got one on the way and another tank! I brought up the same fact that I wish they would have had 4 legs and not 3 a few pages back. All the butterfly bling on the front makes it heavy on one side. I have been toying with welding a counterweight on the back side of...

    Doubling Down: SS Brewtech Conical + FTSS + Glycol Power Pack

    Myself as well. In the end I went with two smaller unitanks because really how many times do I brew a double 10 gal batch? Having said that I just did this past weekend hahaha. I have 12 taps and these 2 keep my kegs filled. Sure would be nice to have two more :) About Ss, it only makes...

    What are you drinking now?

    Is it Friday yet? Equinox SMASH IPA brewed (by me ) on 11/4. Kegged on 11/25. Pretty much perfect! [/url]

    Doubling Down: SS Brewtech Conical + FTSS + Glycol Power Pack

    I crash to 35 as well and sometimes hold for weeks and condition in the unitank if all of my kegs are full and that has never happened. On another note I am brewing two easy drinking Mexican lagers....with one in the tank chugging away at 53.5 degrees now. Crazy shot with the ic echunk...

    Doubling Down: SS Brewtech Conical + FTSS + Glycol Power Pack

    Nice dump system there! I’ve gotten pretty good with the dumps and noticed with the sight glass and 1” tc barb one can control the flow nicely as well. Between this and just feathering open the blowoff valve (most times I just keep it closed) I can just use a big gulp cup. I have to have more...

    @Morrey it looks like your equipment is ‘outside’ as well. How do you deal with the condensation when cold crashing and conditioning before you transfer to the final serving vessel?

    Doubling Down: SS Brewtech Conical + FTSS + Glycol Power Pack

    That’s cool that it went so well congratulations! I don’t understand the purpose of the quick carb pump if you are using co2 to push to the liquid out of the keg? Would you mind discussing this in more detail? My fifth batch transfer went well. It was the best so far. I had a co2 tank with...

    Doubling Down: SS Brewtech Conical + FTSS + Glycol Power Pack

    Just looked in the 3 galllon glycol tank and discovered the tops of the copper cooling coils frosted up and the liquid level low. Haven’t had any leaks and know about a m9nth ago it was filled to the top. Can’t imagine that there was that much evaporation in this cool weather...

    Ss Brewtech glycol chiller

    I have the Ss chiller and have enjoyed using it thus far. Four batch’s in using it with their unitanks.

    Doubling Down: SS Brewtech Conical + FTSS + Glycol Power Pack

    Mine FTSs and unitanks shipped with that tc shelf on 1/5. Weird how some people got them and some didn’t. Is clarity the reason y’all are using dry hopping cylinders and or bags in the unitanks? Can’t one just throw them in and then cold crash to get most of the hop matter to fall then dump...

    Doubling Down: SS Brewtech Conical + FTSS + Glycol Power Pack

    @emr25 I use the regular sized ball and after the second cip I think I’m getting more efficient with this process. This weekend will be another chance to clean as I am kegging a blind pig clone. After all are we all really just professional cleaners who happen to brew beer? I was thinking of...

    Doubling Down: SS Brewtech Conical + FTSS + Glycol Power Pack

    Yes! Same results as you posted. It didn’t happen with my first transfer (ever from the tank) of the pliney clone. Maybe because it wasn’t as carbonated as yesterday’s? I too, tried to bump up the psi with no good result. So I think the filter is going back on the shelf....OR the beer won’t...

    Doubling Down: SS Brewtech Conical + FTSS + Glycol Power Pack

    @byounger How are your pours from the tank? I see you have a flow control perlick on there I assume that helps compensate for not having a length of serving line. Also how are you dealing with condensation from the tank and or glycol lines. Even with the neoprene and pipe insulation mine...

    Doubling Down: SS Brewtech Conical + FTSS + Glycol Power Pack

    1.5 tc that has a liquid out post on it...this then runs either to the filter (think I’m about done with it AGAIN lol) then back to the liquid out post of the keg I am filling. Thus filling from the bottom to the top. https://www.brewhardware.com/product_p/tc15blg.htm Just kegged my pineapple...

    Doubling Down: SS Brewtech Conical + FTSS + Glycol Power Pack

    Huuum I was just throwing ounces of dry hops in. Do you have a link to these dry hoppers you are using? Maybe this is why my Pliney clone looks like a neipa, as does the sculpin that is getting kegged tomorrow. No huge chunkies or hop matter in the pliney because of the filter I used during...

    Doubling Down: SS Brewtech Conical + FTSS + Glycol Power Pack

    I think I picked up the filter at more beer. Tried using it jumping from keg to keg when I was just using the Ss brew buckets but then I had more bs to clean and just put it up on the shelf and forgot about it. That was until I got the unitanks and then saw the 1.5 liquid out tc fitting. Sure...

    Doubling Down: SS Brewtech Conical + FTSS + Glycol Power Pack

    The cip aspect of the unitank intrigued me as I currently run a cip for my kegs and old Ss brew buckets. Just got do e with my first real cleaning, I had run a test cleaning with the chuggerpump previously only to find out it was underpowered. Sooooo, bought a 1/5 hp sump pump and put a ball...

    Outdoor brewery
