    FINALLY ordered an RO setup! What should I know?

    No instructions in the box. Went through it several times. There with instructions with the shutoff valve and the tds meter. Everything was very nicely packed in a mountain of shipping peanuts.

    What I did for beer today

    I attempted to setup an RO system. Buckeye hydro not working as advertised tho.

    FINALLY ordered an RO setup! What should I know?

    How much effluent should there be compared to how much RO filtered water? When running it, it seemed to be 50/50 by eye.

    FINALLY ordered an RO setup! What should I know?

    I have a sink for the effluent. Gonna look at it again tomorrow. Not feeling good tho. If I have to throw it out and buy another I'm good with that too. Anyone here recommend something that just works "out of the box" with instructions etc?

    FINALLY ordered an RO setup! What should I know?

    I guess I'll have to. Again, I'm shocked there were literally no instructions.

    FINALLY ordered an RO setup! What should I know?

    I let it run for like 10 minutes with little change. I'm not happy so far.

    FINALLY ordered an RO setup! What should I know?

    Also, what is in the pic with the black plastic in the bag? There were NO INSTRUCTIONS whatsoever from buckeye hydro.

    How long does your brew day take with your electric systems?

    As with coffee, I grind immediately before adding it to water.

    Anyone using jacketed unitank fermenters?

    During your research please also figure out a good way to heat a jacket fermenter. (For the purpose of kviek fermentation or sasions) That seems to be the big drawback

    Spunding valve which is best ?

    That pic is actually two spunding valves. There's a blichmann on the fermenter I use during fermentation and then the blowtie on the keg I use during transfer (1psi differential between fermenter and keg) And yeah, that giant monstrosity off the fermenter is a filter. Works GREAT. I love it.

    CFC troubles

    I use a northern brewer ss cfc and have no issues. I chill down to about 165⁰ for whirlpool. After that it takes about 7 or 8 minutes to go into the fermenter at 65⁰. (6 gallon batch) I will time it eventually out of curiosity tho. I too didn't want any copper in my system. The stout ss cfc is...

    Best advice to give a new brewer?

    Waiting to drink some beers until the boil isn't a hard rule for me, but I have found it to be the best fit for me. I tend to start brewing at 10am/noon. Many people here always suggest starting small with extract kits and cheap equipment. I'd actually recommend seeing other people's setups and...

    Spike Solo Owner's Thread

    You know, I honestly just wasn't thinking straight. I had it sitting on the table and it was the right size, so I just laid it on there. Bad move. You're a real homebrewing hero. That is the elegant solution I was hoping existed.

    Spike Solo Owner's Thread

    Ho do you guys with solos and RO water filters fill the kettle? Before brew day? Just check on it every so often?

    FINALLY ordered an RO setup! What should I know?

    I'm gonna use this in a spike solo. Is there some kinda "neater" way to do this using the 1.5" TC in the basket?

    FINALLY ordered an RO setup! What should I know?

    Does anybody have a link to some kinda kit I could order to make this work?

    FINALLY ordered an RO setup! What should I know?

    Oh, so the ASOV doesn't ship "ready to go"? I guess I'm gonna have to buy some stuff and rig it together
