Cold crashing and carbing now! Question for anyone that has used the carb stone, does the psi take a while to reach what you have it set to? I set it to 8 and it's taking a while for the pressure inside to get there.

What is your PSI set to now?

I have my AC unit chiller running in my basement which seems to be working fine but I don't know if you would want one up in the main part of your house. It doesn't look great and it is a bit loud when it runs. It doesnt run too often right now though as it hasnt really had to chill the beer...

You can always find a site that will ship it you and piece together your own kit. What size batches do you want to do??

Can you put pressure on the chronicals?

For this batch I'm doing 8 ounces of loose pellet hops for dry hops. What is the best way to get these out of the conical, through the bottom valve after cold crashing/carbing?

Yeah I only could feel heat in the back which seemed odd to me too. I didn't try the nose thing though tbh haha

That is weird. So far mine has only heated and I didn't have any leaking.

It definitely looks like a rebranded inkbird just with less options. I'm wondering if they are pre programmed or something. I'll probably email them and ask what the heating and cooling differentials are set to.

Yeah I shot glycol all over the place with the quick connects too until I pushed them in all the way. Definitely something you need to make sure you have pushed in all the way! The temp controller only having two settings threw me off a bit but I guess you don't need any of the other settings...

No mines a cf5

Got my tc-100 with the heater! Seems pretty awesome so far! This is my first batch so I'll report back. Have it hooked up to my DIY glycol chiller and will try to cold crash and carb with the carb stone next weekend if fermentation is done.

I mean they clearly showed it didn't cover the top in the pictures so nothing unexpected. Probably would be easy to rig something up for the top if needed but I am going to try mine without for now. Got my kit today, going to brew tomorrow and give it a go! I also ordered the carb stone to try...

Edit: beat me to it Another thing to consider is depending on what type of chiller you have you will have less liquid in contact with the coils. I use a 15 gallon pot to do 5 gallon BIAB batches, I don't think I'd go any bigger.

Also another question, what do you guys keep the temp of the glycol mixture when you are trying to keep your beer at 66-68 degrees? I was thinking like 55ish and then dropping it down to 28 right before starting the cold crash.

Sweet thanks! Do you put any tubing on it?

Which one do you have if you don't mind me asking?

If you do BIAB it can be harder to hold mash Temps

I am using an external temp controller so adding a new plug would probably be easiest as long as it doesn't block the heating plug on my inkbird. Thanks!

What's the easiest way to achieve the recirculation pump going on with the ac unit?
