That is their blow off adapter kit. I don't like it really. You have to remove the lid to take it off. Lately I have been using a #2 stopper with a stainless barb elbow to blow off tube. That way its easier to transition to a s-type airlock after the bulk of fermentation. Yes, some beers blow...

Every year I buy a 6 pack, every year #6 is thankfully the last one for the year. I like them, just in small doses, never brewed one because I don't know what I'd do with 5 gallons of them. Really just prefer regular styles of beer without the spices and what not. Goes for all beers really not...

Yes, I use silicone tubing, 3/8 I think that I got from Amazon.

Yes. SS brewbucket needs to be higher than keg obviously, then remove blowoff/airlock or use an s type airlock to prevent a vacuum, open valve and it drains. The valve body is rotatable and connected to a diptube. When you turn the valve body it will rotate the diptube so you can pull beer from...

I like mine too, use it more than my other fermenters (glass & PET carboys). Easy to clean and use; especially like the no-siphon aspect of it. Only negatives I have are: 1.) can't see the active fermentation or see wort/beer clarity while cold crashing, 2.) cost is kind of high considering a...

3.5 to 5 hours depending on what I'm brewing. 7am - collect water, add salts, begin heating, weigh/mill grains 7:30am - dough in, clean/sanitize fermenter 8:30am - lift basket of grain out, crank heat, weigh hops 8:50-9am - Boil begins 10am - chill wort, transfer to fermenter, aerate, pitch...

Well check me out, I feel fancy and famous haha. :-) Thanks for the kind comments.

I use this: http://www.boostbysmith.com/stc1000.html Pro version with two sensors. One goes in thermowell and other measures air temp in the fridge. Can do programmed temp steps too.

I'm brewing 5 gallon batches almost always. When I need to do a 10 gallon batch I'll probably mash in a cooler or do some sort of sparge through the basket. I've boiled 10 gallons of water fairly easily with 5500 watt. Not sure if 5500 watts is needed, but I'm limited on time (have 3 little...

I don't post much, but I sure spend a lot of time on this forum ha. I use a 400 mesh basket and recirculate. Works pretty good. I can only run my chugger pump about 1/2 throttle. I crush my grains as tight as I can on my Barley Crusher. My system isn't dialed in all the way yet. I still have...
