Yikes! Never mind.

Here's a relatively cheap glycol chiller that Walmart is selling: Link. I wonder if something like that would work.

Here's the press release. I'm very curious about the price! SEATTLE, Jan. 6, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- PicoBrew, manufacturer of the world's first automatic all-grain craft beer brewing appliances announced today the development of a line of commercial craft beer brewing appliances for bars and...

Wow! That thing looks pretty cool.

I've got a three vessel setup, but I also have young kids, so I can't dedicate as much time to brewing as I'd like. Like everyone else, most of my brew day consists of waiting for water to heat and babysitting mash temps, so I'm willing to do small batches if I can automate those parts. Both...

I've been researching the Zymatic, and I've been a little surprised at the number of people who report having had little issues with it that have required contacting the company. I'm curious how many people have had problems. I'm deciding between this and a Braumeister.

I just bought 2 of these fridges. I also have the Speidel. Unfortunately, it does not fit on the floor. If you insert the shelf that fits over the hump, the Speidel will fit, but there is no room for the airlock or the Speidel cover. You'd have to put foil over the top and even then it's very...

Have you confirmed that only 1 keg will fit in it? (what's the internal height?) I'd like to keep kegs in it when it's not on fermentation chamber duties.

This is really disappointing to hear. Are the mash fluctuation temperatures you report from the brewtech thermometer or from one of your calibrated thermometers?

That's very helpful. I too do 10 gallon batches, and I'm not in love with the idea of having an enormous freezer in the garage. How much time do you end up spending fiddling with the glycol chiller and doing conical cleaning?

I just moved from the Midwest to Nashville. My old house had a nice basement that basically stayed in the 60s all year long. I was able to brew ales and lagers by using a brew bag. Now in TN, my brew space is in my garage, where it's hotter than a whorehouse on nickel night. I've been...

I've been brewing for a few years now in carboys and my trusty Spiedel fermenters. I've been been thinking about getting an SS brewtech chronical with the temperature control system. I've also been following the fermentation control temperature experiments on Brulosophy. Like many others...

Anyone know at what gallon marking level the thermowell is in the 20 gallon? Also, does it come with a plug for the recirculation port? I imagine lots of heat is lost from there.

This is really useful to know. I mostly do 5 gallon batches, but I occasionally do a 10. I wanted the 20 gallon because it has the recirculation port, but obviously, if I'm going to lose temps on it, it's not worth it. Thanks.

I'm thinking of getting this thing. Are people still having problems with maintaining temps and/or build quality?

Hey folks, I'm moving to Nashville this summer, and I'm interested in finding a brew club. From using google, it's hard to tell which clubs are still active. Anyone have a good group?

I'm interested in the brewjacket too. The only thing holding me back is the fact that the company producing it is a brand new startup. What if this thing breaks down a year from now and they're not in business anymore? I've got a $300 door stop.

I haven't seen too many reviews online of the Blichmann Rims Rocket and controller. Anyone try it?

Awesome, thank you!!

No one answered this, so I'll ask again. Does anyone know where I can find an inexpensive replacement pump for the keg washer?
