I agree. Read a lot of posts that said you needed to add more than thought to get flavor to go through. Also worth noting that in future if I use coconut I will probably do at start of fermentation as it is a royal PIA to drop a hop sock full of 2lb of coconut thru 4in hole while trying to...

Are these coconut shreds toasted too much?

Received two stealth bomber taps today. Finally get rid of picnic lines

Was able to get this brewed yesterday but had to make modifications due to volume needed in flex and got new Anvil kettle had to increase to 3gal as that is minimum needed to keep thermowell submerged. This prevented full mash BIAB volume in new 5.5gal kettle. Did 4 gal with top up. Had to add...

When I just let it drain thru ball valve it will stop when water is at bottom of valve. With 1/2” hose connected it siphon and gets all way base of rack arm. I was worries as its difference of .5 or .1 gal left in kettle

Anvil 5.5 kettle thats already cruising along and a coat for the flex

Thanks. Been looking at the filtration system but that will probably be after a few more accessories purchases. Once question I did have will racking arm work without pressure for draining. Wouldnt the flow stop once water level reaches the ball valve? If pressure was applied I know will go all...

I think this was it. Stupid thinking on my part to have fluid inside. Drained completely and pressurized to 10PSI. I did spray star san and didnt see anything abnormal. Will check in few hours to make sure all good.

Liquid was already at the proper temp when I hooked up cooling coil and it maintained that through out the night. It was a little colder this morning so thought that may be it. I let out the pressure and cleaned all the gaskets and reapplied everything tight. Filled up the vessel with 3 gallon...

Cooling coil with 3 gallons works well. I pressurized to 10psi and let sit overnight. This morning it is at 6psi. All the TC are tight so not sure where leak is. May be coming from blowtie but will be hard to verify

Spike flex plus came in. Just waiting on Anvil kettle now

Thanks K-os. I felt like lid was touch loose so tightened until firmed then backed off half a turn. Will jump on Amazon to see if any silicone gasket are available. I have one from my shine still but it is 2" Also decided to fill it with water and test cooling coil and found some possible...

Flex arrived today and looks great. still need get insulation jacket In putting everything together had a few questions comments 1. for those of you who have one or looking to get one the outer ring around lid is very sharp on edges. Anyone file this down 2. How tight should you close the lid...

I am still working on Corny design. I will be cutting off top and having an 8in tri clamp flange welded on. Will then have in/out post threads, thermowell, dry hop, and cooling coil welded onto an 8" tri clamp cap. This will have a small footprint and will use for Lagers when I get into that...

What Jag said. I looked at beersmith and brewers friend as well. Ultimately settled on brewfather. You can setup equipment profile in app and I believe there is an elevation section

Thanks for reply going to dry hop thru 4” opening with gas running for now. Will use hop bag. I will eventually use sight glass but want to find a 1.5” TC plate that has gas post and PRV. Didnt feel like spending $75 on Spike manifold also ordered casters and insulation jacket. Cant add leg...
