    Airlock Chamber in Unitank to Dry Hop under pressure?

    This is a great idea. I threw my dry hops in the first batch in my uni and wondered if there was a better way then having to open the tc at the top this letting oxygen in. Thanks!

    Chilling system for a Unitank

    I don’t know how close your outdoor brew spot is but have you given any thoughts to pumping or letting gravity move the wort from your kettle to the basement uni or conical (assuming there is a window or entry space). No carrying anything! At first I thought about serving out of the tanks but...

    Cleaning technique: SS Brewtech Chronical w/ chiller attached?

    Tried cleanin my unitank with a chugger pump and the cooling coils attached. Didn’t work lol. Ended up with the same sump pump as posted here that has a ball valve attached with a 1/2 barb on top of it that is feeding the cip ball. I also found that raising mine up on a big cooler helped...

    Chilling system for a Unitank

    There is lots of great information in this thread...look toward the end. The users here tried many other chilling methods before going glycol. I can’t say one way or the other which if any works best since I am running a glycol chiller to two 7 gal unitanks. If you are on the fence I say do...

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

    Was looking at different pressurized fermentation threads and ran across something that @DaWhip said about saving co2. “ ee.” This is pure genius! I kinda feel like I’m flying by the seat of my pants fermenting under pressure. Have been brewing for 10 years just without the new toys. Just...

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

    I am also the proud new owner of two 7 gallon Ssbrewtech unitanks and their glycol chiller. I started another thread but seems like all the action is in here ;). I had several issues with one of the tanks and after contacting customer service and seeing what they were willing to discount I...

    Ss Brewtech 7 or 14 Gallon Unitank

    I was researching this topic and didn’t really find any information on the 7 gallon unitank version here. What I did run across was lots of great information on the earlier 14 gallon Unitank but it was buried in the “Doubbling Down’ thread. Setup. Qd valves for glycol chillers. Different...

    anyone use a quick carb motor to filter?

    I thought about this myself after using my inline filter like 5 times. Going from the fermenter to the transfers keg. Then thru the filter and finally into the finished keg was a pia. Thus I stopped using the filter, my beers pretty clear in the first place ;). If this works and can carbonate...

    I drove in today to pick up a kit and was surprised that all of the individual bittering hops in this particular kit had been replaced with an in house mix of an 'HBU' hop pellet pack. I asked what hops made up the 3-4-5-&10 HBU packs and no one could give me an answer. I asked how many oz...

    Basement Bar Build Thread!

    Nice build. I can highly recommend the Gold series of Monitor Audio. I have a 5.2 system set up with the fix surrounds and it rocks. The front gold 300's sound wonderful in 2 ch music listening. http://www.monitoraudiousa.com/products/gold/gold-300 Congrats again on the awesome bar build!
