    Solid vs Mesh sided Biabasket

    which port are you using for the element? i thought about the bag, but thought it. might be difficult to keep it from hitting the element. care to share any pics of your setup?

    Solid vs Mesh sided Biabasket

    Valid concern. i would only use this for larger batches as i have a small batch system. it looks like the cone / cylinder interface is at about 4 gals? with a solid sided basket, i dont think thould be an issue as all the liquid is forced through the bottom. you could also get fancy with...

    Solid vs Mesh sided Biabasket

    Its actually quite simple. If you look at the Bruhaus BIAC or the Unibrau all in ones, the are just conicals with a basket and an electric element. The size of the cf10 opening is similar to a brewpot and should fit a reasonably sized basket. There are sample and racking ports. I'd...

    Solid vs Mesh sided Biabasket

    Any pics? I've got a crazy idea to use one to make an "all-in-one" system based on the Spike CF10 conical.

    Ultimate EBIAB kettle wanted

    The Stout system was discussed about a year ago and the shortcomings referenced above were identified. https://www.homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?t=592095 I'm very surprised at the perforation size of the basket and the lid based thermometer...which prevented me from moving on the system. Both...

    1.5 gal. Torpedo Ball Lock vs. 1.75 Cannonball or other?....

    Generally agree, but I just got one on sale with free shipping. So it was cheaper, more capacity (user dependent advantage) and is much higher quality. You do need to keep an eye out and be opportunistic.

    1.5 gal. Torpedo Ball Lock vs. 1.75 Cannonball or other?....

    I own two torpedo 1.5 gallon kegs, one purchased and one gift. I would NOT buy them again due to the extremely poor quality of the units delivered. I think I posted this somewhere else but they would not hold any pressure and it is not worth the hassle to make them work. One was so bad that...

    Torpedo Keg perspective

    It had to be a bent rim. The co2 was rushing out and would never pressurize. No amount of fiddling with the lid would make it any better and it was always from the same spot. I get that these are mass produced Chinese imports, and there are going to be quality issues from the manufacturer...

    Torpedo Keg perspective

    i would have needed caulk. i use lube and there is no way lube was making a difference.

    Torpedo Keg perspective

    I bought a 1.5 gal slimline. It arrived with no pressure. I reseated the lid and pressurized it and within a day there was no pressure. Did that one more time and still would not hold. I notified Morebeer who immediately offered refund or replacement. I chose replacement and they shipped it...

    PicoBrew Zymatic

    I just made the just squeezed recipe and used about .45 on my cereal killer mill. I came in at an OG of 1.069. Recipe calls for 1.067. It is an 8+ pound recipe and the system did not have any issues. No overflow, dry spots or apparent channeling. Hope that data point helps.

    PicoBrew Zymatic

    Just went through this exact thing. I think they are trying to convey two thoughts, the first being how to connect the keg in general and second how you use that general concept to connect the cleaning wand. Thinking about what is going on, led me to conclude, correctly, that you connect the...

    Homebrew Talk 3D Print Thread.

    Did you use sketchup or another cad program for this ? I've made a couple that I had printed by a service, but I had a smooth hole formed in the bottom for the threaded bushing. If you have the matching thread pattern, that would be much better. I made mine with sketchup and formed a recess...
