Thanks for all the ideas! Apparently I'm a bit messier than most of you because I always spill something during the brewing or transfer or cleaning process. I've spill boiling wort, cleaning solution, hops/yeast that came out of the fermenter...lots of mishaps. I'm not looking for a thousand...

What do you guys put on the floor? I've had a few batches in now and my 2 year old cement is starting to look pretty spotted. I've put down another coat of acrylic sealant but I would like to be able to not worry so much about spilling a little wort on the floor during brew days. I didn't...

I've had a good experience using this for the sparge arm! Easy to remove during mash in and easy to reinstall. Also, the attached photos show my update to the system. After having a HORRIBLY low efficiency on the last batch, I added a T connector to the output pump and dropped another line...

I have to agree. I would have thought less ports to clean would make sense. PRV in the cooling coil and the existing 1.5" TC fitting. The only addition to the top should have been a 2" or 3" opening for hop additions. Instead, I use a 2" to 1.5" reducer on the TC connector and then drop a...

I whirlpool using the CFC for the last 15 minutes to clean it, which makes dropping temps very easy. I never thought about keeping the heater on at a certain temp but it’s a good idea and I’ll be adding that into my brew day going forward. Can anyone who’s actually split the pump output between...

I’d like to know as well! Maybe you can be the test pilot and let us know. :)

Probably a good idea not to try the CFC! I was foolish enough to try the exchilerator and now my Hydra will never get used again. Chilling beer in one pass from ~200F to ~64F as it flows from boiler to fermenter is a game changer.

Do you have a list of components needed to make the AutoSparge work with the Spike Solo? I have the 20g TC version and I'd like to buy the parts but I see there are several ways to accomplish the task.

Is there anyone selling 3d printed cases for this? I found these files and I'm debating on purchasing a 3D printer or just paying someone to make it for me. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4586306

You have done an amazing job on this! It took me about 10 minutes to go from opening the TTGO controller to having TILT measurements reading on the screen! Now I just need to have a case 3D printed and I'm ready to go. :)

It's a very tall chiller so shipping makes it expensive...probably $40-$60 depending on location so that kind of kills the deal.

Well personally, I had 3 stuck mashes before realizing the dials had mm markings that translated into some modified mill size (that had nothing to do with gap spacing) so that set me back. I've yet to try milling with both dials set to 1.0mm so I still can't recommend this as anything other...

So I had a CF5 (Spike Conical) and a Fermzilla. Both were pressurized to 15psi with a spunding valve (BlowTie Diaphragm Spunding Valve Complete Kit | MoreBeer) set to 12psi. So the spunding valves did their respective jobs and let some CO2 out and both systems settled out at 12-13psi...

How do I mark this thread as closed?

That’s where I got the idea. I think it was his video of the spike solo while still a prototype. He had the tube come out and bend up and tied to the handle which I did, but I noticed the bend rate really changed the water level so I was looking for a 90 degree 5/8” ss fitting I could use for a...

Has anyone tried making a sight glass for the Spike solo? I was thinking of using this and attaching some silicone tube secured to the handles on the grain basket. https://www.brewershardware.com/1-1_5-Tri-Clover-Compatible-X-5-8-Hose-Barb-with-90-Bend-TC15B58-90.html?category_id=276
