So far great advice in this thread but just want to mention that I haven't seen yet. Is after 24 to 48 hours of the gelatin doing its thing. All of the material it pulled out of solution will now be in the bottom of a keg. So your first two maybe three pints can be super cloudy and really gross...

I'm not sure what you mean by this? The fermzilla, at least my all rounder, uses ball lock disconnects, which are the same found on all corny kegs? Are you referring to other adaptors/fittings?

Honestly I think most of the people to really use sanke type fittings are nano breweries and larger. In my experience in the US as a homebrewer I deal in 5 gallon corny kegs and every homebrewer I've ever interacted with does as well (probably 75-100 people). I did notice that if I want larger...

Getting the lid off my all rounder, I unscrew the ring almost all the way, then use a flathead screwdriver under the lip of one of the ball lock lids and use the ring as leverage to pry the lid up. Don't waste CO2 popping it off. I'll try and post a picture if that description isn't clear...

Agreed, all my kegs have the gas dip tube though. One way around this if you don't have the gas dip tube is to hook gas up to the beverage out to whatever PSI you ultimately want the beer to be carbed at then slowly rock the keg back and forth. The gas will go into solution as it enters the...

I bought the flow stopper before the duotight ball lock fittings came out so I used some extra eva barrier tubing and cut a longer piece from ball lock to flow stopper so that it's flexible. I use a spring clamp to hold the flow stopper it straight up and down against something. I will one day...

It can stop flow when foaming happens (i do my best to make sure no foam happens though and am usually pretty successful) but it works by that little white ball in the plastic sight glass. The trick is you have to keep the sightclass perpendicular to the floor because the way it works is as...

I too put a blowtie spunding valve on my gas post when filling any keg (fermenter to keg or big keg to little keg) but I put one of these in between the spunding valve and the gas post: Duotight Flow Stopper Automatic Keg Filler | MoreBeer It shuts off the flow of things on it's own.

So I love my Spike Solo+ 15g equipment. That being said, I want to share my experience. I made good beers with my Solo basket. Never had any issues outside of the initial batch or two getting my process down. That being said, I did ultimately end up buying an all stainless custom mesh basked...

For sparge arm/recirc solution, here is what I did: Bought one of these: 1.5'' TC to Male Ball Lock Quick Disconnects (BLQD) with Interior 1/2'' FNPT one of these: Loc-Line - 51837 Coolant Hose Circle Flow Nozzle Kit, 16 Piece, 1/2" Hose ID: Cutting Tool Coolants: Amazon.com: Industrial &...

Thank you for the advice. My question regarding the duotight fittings is that the piping broke so that there is not any exposed outside the front wall so that fitting would have to also fit into the small opening on the front surface. I hope that makes sense Sorry, just now seeing your...

If you wanting to replace the "sight glass" find some clear tubing that matches the outside diameter of your duotight fittings and pop that guy on there. If you just want to plug the leak, duotight makes plugs to just till that T joint, or just buy a single connector piece instead of a T...

I agree and think you're correct that there is a much higher chance and amount of oxidation happening to these BA beers, but I think the styles that are typically BA and the flavors the BA impart on the finished project are going to be much stronger then the sort of flavors a limited amount of...

Yeah I'd just buy a hop spider then and hand it on the lip of the mouth of your fermenter, then just pour your wort through it. Easy peasy...

What type of fermenter are you using? Just buy a hop spiders that fits in the mouth of it, then pour through it. Arbor Fabrication might also be able to make you a custom one. You can also do what I do and use Hop Torpedos in your boil kettle. They stay completely submerged and bounce around...

I have multiple of the duotight ones and love them. I use them at the end of my daisy chain so CO2 from my All Rounder during fermentation is pushing Star San out of a keg that wall filled to the brim. That star san is being pushed into another empty cleaned all rounder and then the gas post...

I feel like I have to defend myself on this statement. I've used the spike basket many times with lots of success. I have a process for that basket that works just fine. My issue with the basket is it takes way more work to get an equivalent brew to my all mesh basket. I can be doing lots of...

If you haven't ordered your taps yet, at the very least look up the Nuka-Taps. They're the best taps I've ever had. They pour amazingly, have plenty of attachments if you need them and they look good. I think you'd be doing yourself a disservice if you don't at least look at them before...

Hybiscus made me laugh, thank you for that. Was that on purpose or a mobile autocorrect? Meniscus I believe is what you were going for.

Basket handle is def strong enough. It's solid stainless steel. I just slide the game rack through the basket handle and lift. Pics attached.
