    Spike Conical- observations and best practices

    the elbow fittings Spike has for the coil connections, are they a "quick disconnect" kind or more of a shark bite that once they're in they're in? I was hesatent to get them because I can't remove the coil without wheeling the thing outside and doing that attached to a chiller is a PITA so I...

    Spike Conical- observations and best practices

    I pulled my CF15 coil and measured it for you. The total length of the coil from the bottom of the flange is 26 inches. It's a 4 inch flange measuring a total of 4 5/8ths. Let me know if you need more numbers.

    pretty sure its your process. Mine sits in a open air garage and have I have no issues crashing into the 20F and leaving it there for days in the July heat of the north east. Are your cooling lines insulated? what temp to you have your chiller set to? what side and you using as your in and...

    Spike Conical- observations and best practices

    I build a Glycol chiller out of an old AC unit and a cooler. I can get my CF15 in the 20's with ease and keep it there if need be with a 10 degree drop in less than an hour. Condensation was an issue with the first chiller I build but after beefing up the insulation it isn't an issue anymore...

    Blichmann HopBlocker and Electric Brewery Hop Stopper

    thanks for the info, I recently switched over to a plate chiller and am terrified to clog it so trying to come up with some sanity checks to prevent clogging it.

    Blichmann HopBlocker and Electric Brewery Hop Stopper

    Would love the Electric Brewery Hop Stopper one. I have the Blichmann one and it doesn't do that good of a job.. was thinking of switching over the to EB one to see if I had better results.

    Spike Conical- observations and best practices

    racking arm is a must, at least on the CF15. I also bough an additional butterfly valve from amazon to put between the vessel and sampling port. This allows me to swap accessories out and not have the carb stone get all gunked up and if the sampling port does start to leak I can kill it with...

    Blichmann Fermenator, upgrade or sell..

    I absolutely agree. Blichmann set a standard which a lot of home brewers once hoped to get to unfortunately they didn't innovate quickly enough and now they are falling behind. Yes, I could spend the money to have it altered but to Bobby's point it just gets them slightly on par, It still...

    Blichmann Fermenator, upgrade or sell..

    yup.. that's the way I'm leaning. Thanks for the input, @rwinzing

    Pid and motorized ball valve for glycol

    yup, I love inkbird for its price in the door but you always need to throw it on the workbench to figure out how it really wants to work for your application

    Pid and motorized ball valve for glycol

    depends on the door bell transformer, I've seen some where they peak at 24v but usually drop to between 9-14 volts. I would stick a volt meter on the LV side of the transformer to read what voltages you are getting. Also, I would wire this a little differently. That PID shows the 6 and 8 as...
