    New Spike 20G Solo Build

    Interesting. What do you do with the secondary line when you transfer to the fermenter? I'd assume you not want to recycle wort back into the kettle. Just close off the valve and remove the T then run 1 line out? I've never seen that setup so it def makes me curious

    Can I ask what the benefit of the T fitting is on the pump output?

    Best grain bill for a authentic Kolsch

    Man, seeing all the variances here. I just use Pilsner, Tet and a Kolsch yeast. Simple, yet have been very happy with the turn out. Very crushable beer. Now you guys have me wanting to try with Vienna in the mix.

    Newest Spike Product Launch!

    In your picture with the Flow attached to the Solo table, the pump output looks like a TC 90 degree elbow. Is that what is on the pump? I just grabbed one and if I put a valve on in the vertical position it won't fit under the table. I like the 90 degree so am curious what is being used.

    Spike CF5 lid pressure fail

    I tried the Keg Lube route and drove me nuts and messy. I hit the channel with starsan and saturated the gasket/fermenter rim. Worked great without the lube mess. One time I forgot to put anything so when I bumped pressure it started leaking audibly out of the lid. Tapped it with a rubber...

    Spike Conical- observations and best practices

    So you must be one of the other people with the same issue Spike told me about haha. I jsut had the same problem. Lid leaked at the 12 o clock position if you re standing in front of it at the 6 o clock position. Would be an audible leak at the lid seal. Figured it was the lip bend. It was...

    Lets talk water that won't register a PH

    For sure. I'm going to weight whether or not to just get a more reliable probe, vs the Amazon cheapy I have.

    Lets talk water that won't register a PH

    They don't change color. Stay the same base yellow they are when taken out of the container.

    Lets talk water that won't register a PH

    Yea in the end I have to figure out how deep I want to go. I only ever add gypsum or CaCl to my water. Water is the same every time I brew and beer turns out pretty good so if I beat out my OCD I really could do without.

    Lets talk water that won't register a PH

    I thinki I'm going to opt for a good digital meter just for peace of mind. Thank you.

    Low 4's to 10's maybe? It was an ok range.

    Lets talk water that won't register a PH

    Just the Brewers Best PH strips. They work in the faucet water, but will not read in Spring bottled water. They stay the light yellow base color with is lighter than the mid 4's listed on the color chart. I am going to look at a better digital since I have been trying to get better with...

    Lets talk water that won't register a PH

    Oops. Realize I didn't mention I calibrated in the solutions the meter came with. Now, it is a basic Amazon meter so it could be junk.
