It's not it has less options than the regular inkbird controllers. You can only set the temp and Celsius or Fahrenheit.

Anyone else with a DIY glycol chiller have an issue with it over shooting the temp you set it to? I have it set to 30 right now but it usually losers another 8 degrees to 22 when the power cuts off the AC. Any way to prevent that? It hasn't really been an issue so far but I'm worried about...

Is there any issue leaving the carb stone on with pressure more than 24 hrs or will that risk over carbing?

Why don't you just email them and tell them you have one with the off measurements then...

Helped a little but I'd just go to ten foot lines to be honest. I ended up doing that anyways. I do like having flow control faucets though.

Awesome thanks!!

Has anyone used the cf10 for five gallon batches with a glycol chiller? Wondering how the temp holds with so much head space. I want to get another conical at some point and was thinking about going for the cf10 even though I'll be doing mostly five gallon batches.

I have the one Adventures in homebrewing sells for 99 dollars. It's pretty solid! No complaints so far.

Yep, this is the ac unit I used https://www.walmart.com/ip/Arctic-King-5-000-BTU-Window-Air-Conditioner-115V-WWK-05-CM-71-N/168999175

I have heard people tying the freezer thing saying it didn't work so well. That's what I was going to do but ended up going the DIY glycol chiller route instead. I built it for under 200 and it's performing like a champ. Doing a lager at 50 right now and the chiller hardly has to run. Got it...

Ah yeah I missed that you were talking about the ss one there.

Can't comment on your first question but I bought the carb stone and used it for the first time last weekend. Had carbed beer in 24 hrs with fermenter temp of 36 and psi set to 10.

I am using the carb stone but not the glass. You barely waste anything when you take the carb stone off. My main issue was just way too much hop sediment and I think I dumped too much. I will probably order the racking arm too actually. Definitely don't think getting five will be an issue I...

5.5 gallons. I don't have the racking arm but I'm honestly not sure how much that'd help. It would help not get as much sludge in the keg but not for yield. I am going to bag my dry hops next time. I did a stout in there and yielded just about five gallons so I think the loose hops is the issue.

Kegged today, beer was carbed nicely!! Only thing I am not happy with is I barely got 4 gallons. I dry hopped with 8 ounces and didn't use hop bags so maybe that's my issue. Do you guys use hop bags when dry hopping?

It eventually did hit 34 but I am just going to set it to 36 as that seems to be a pretty easy number for it to hit and will run the pump less.

I was thinking about going down to like 22 but I'm worried the beer will freeze near the coils

So I have my glycol chiller set to 28 and it'll kick back on and chill down to 28 at 33 and trying to get the beer down to 34. It doesn't seem to want to go below 36 which is perfectly fine with me, I am just a little curious as to why. Should I set the temperature differential on the glycol...

Sure!

Ahh nice. Thank you!!
