Hey that is at least something. I can see your argument for no racking arm. The recoverable volume it would give you with vs without is (guessing) a pint or 2 at most for a 7-14 gallon fermenter.

Speaking of conicals ; ) Any new updates, features, or pics you are willing to share? Really interested to see what you have to offer since you will be full sanitary for a reasonable price.

I does back flow if there isn't something to stop it. I am interested to see what solution you find.

Can't speak for OP but in mine 25# of grain at a 1.25 qt/lb mash ratio is roughly half. I am doing a RIS 11G batch this weekend. Beersmith says it will be 19.5 ish gallons total volume with 48# of grain

Is there a recommended type of tubing for this type of application that won't break down too much under these type of chemicals? Reinforced silicone prices in 3/4 and 1" varieties is just obscene

I've looked you save a little money, but it is more the uncertainty of what you're getting. I would rather spend a little more and get a trusted brand that if I have problems I have a recourse to fix the problem. i.e. spike, stout tanks, ss brewtech, etc. They are all know for having stellar...

I believe this is the case. Seems like they recently mentioned waiting on production samples from China before pulling the trigger with mass production. I have been eyeballing Spike's since it is a full sanitary design at a very reasonable price. The companies other offerings have been very...

:ban: It is the original. It actually goes on easier because it has a smooth edge. Takes me like 20 seconds versus the 2 minutes the original did

Here is the false bottom in place, and a few brew day shots just because

I am brewing this evening after my brew clubs annual picnic. I will snap a few pics of the process and false bottom then. I scoop out as much grain as I can. Bring a hose ran from my sink over (hot tap water) and just spray it down with a bucket under the spigot. Haven't had to move it. It...

I started as a single infusion semi gravity system. Then migrated to RIMS. I figured I had it already and it might make it a little easier to hit mash out faster and have better temperature stability. I got some stainless washers and a bolt sticking up so I would have something to pull the...

They can be a little of a pain and little bits get caught. I just use a soft little tube brush to wipe them away gently. But the manometer is fantastic at helping me set my re-circulation rate In my earlier post I wanted to be clear. I have had this MLT the better part of a year and have...

Reporting back on the 20 G blichmann false bottom. 2 batches in and it works Great!!!! other than the initial little bit during recirculation. I haven't seen one piece of grain make it through. And my mash efficiency jumped 10% (though this may be more of a symptom of switching to RIMS)

I believe it does though someone may correct me. I have only brewed one batch with my arborfab. Set it at 90% came out good. More testing will have to be done to be conclusive

You can tell that thing was a labor of love. You made it look fantastic. Great job!!!

Let em work the kinks out. I personally love mine even with the flaws. The vessel is sound. false bottom is the Achille's heel IMO. For single infusion with no MTSS mine holds temps anywhere from .5-.1 degrees of stabilized mash in temp. That is from low 30's to 90's ambient temperature...

Though I haven't tested this, and it will likely be a month or 2 before I can. I spoke at length with the gentleman that did and he claimed it was a night and day difference. I suppose with blichmanns superior false bottom design he may have been able to vorlauf faster in conjunction that less...

I am looking at buying this exact same model. How many ball locks will this fit? Sorry if you said this already. I skimmed to make sure you didn't but I could've missed it

I have the same experience with my 20 G too much grain getting through even with a lengthy vorlauf. The false bottom is just ill designed. One thing that a fellow brewer discovered and I plan on implementing soon is Blichmanns 20 gallon false bottom fits perfectly. It even allow you to use...

I can definitely see how these would have value for a breweries pilot batch system or a brew pub. I, who can justify most anything within reason. Would have a hard time with this one at this price. Love SS brewtech and have voted with my wallet, but this is out of my limit for rationalizing...
