I think the topic was really about being able to install the tubing and dip-tube before the FLOTit, then being able to connect the unit to the tubing outside of the keg.

I’m puny, but I’d bet a bunch of homebrewers out there have issues with fitting their arm in a keg. Between that and the mechanics of this thing getting every drop of beer out of a keg, it seems good enough as a premium option for people willing to spend a few more bucks. Idk man, more options...

I don’t think anyone is.

500g 😳 you absolute dawg

I think you'll be a-okay. I boil my silicone on occasion to sanitize. It doesn't seem to change pliability. However, not all silicone is created equal so a bit of YMMV applies.

Yeah, for sure. He used to ship the FLOTit with an all-in-one gas dip tube / o-ring. It looked like this. Mine came with the alternate updated 1/2" metal dip-tube (it was an option on Amazon. With or without.). The main use is for a touch more headspace when keg fermenting.

Personally I plan on using mine in a fermentation keg with big dry-hop charges, so I assume the filters will be crucial for me. Also, the tubing is silicone. It shouldn't soften with heat.

I just chatted with Trong, the owner of HBL and creator of the FLOTit. He agreed, and stopped making the UNI tube. I just received a FLOTit 2.0 and it came with a super-short, normal steel gas post with an o-ring. He said it's just a better solution. It's 1/2" long. The guy is having fun in...

Hey all. Time to move on to a new setup. Selling my BrewBucket with some accessories. It's the Brewmasters Edition 1.0 (with the thermowell port). It's in great shape. The only thing it might need is new rubber feet. They've worn from movement. Cheap and easy fix. The blue handle on the...

Hey man! Reviving this thread! Did you even get this all behind you?

Are you handy? I have a 2 roller mill that worked great for me, but recently had to get a new one because I broke off one of the locking eyelet bolts into the body of the mill. If you can somehow get it out and replace the eyelet bolt it's perfect otherwise. I just didn't have an extraction bit...

Apartment Brewer recently did a decoction video on an AIO. Worth a watch.

Funny I came across this thread! Hope all is well, dude. The brewery I brew at use a 3 vessel system with 3 100gal-or-so drums. It works very well. They're all direct fired with burners underneath. It's a very analog and labor-intensive setup, but it's worked for 6 years now for them until a...

In my opinion, the hobby has changed and shifted. The advent of all-in-one systems and the convergence of equipment choices have pretty much negated the need for brick and mortar driven accessibility. What I mean is, the equipment is all pretty much agreed upon nowadays. Most people now use...

Agreed. A big fat dry-hop after fermentation completes will result in thick haze if you use a typical NEIPA style yeast and have proper water chemistry.

Pretty good video, and informative and somewhat recent "revelations". Disregard the clickbaity title and thumbnail that everyone has to do on YouTube nowadays to get views.

I'm my own worst critic by far. It's drinkable for sure, but I need a ton of work.

The beer kinda sucks but it does look pretty! NE style pale that I brewed as a first-run batch on a new system.

As a side note, I think it was Omega(?) that did a trial run recently and concluded that with an increase in flaked adjuncts the resulting beers tend to end up clearer. If you want haze OP, choose a generally agreed upon yeast (1318, Verdant, S-04 etc) and dry-hop late and large.

You know, I was wondering if it functioned like that. Really happy to hear it does!
