    Spike brewing CF5 accessories

    From spike the only thing I would get is the Manifold and the Racking arm personally. The manifold could be sourced cheaper but owning a few different ones I like spikes. There are a few ways to set up closed transfers. Here is what I do for heavily hopped beers. I use the Co2 from...

    Anyone have one of these filters?

    I use this on a 7bbl kit and its works for that. It is massive for homebrew scale. what size batches are you doing? The mesh filters on these are quite fine as well and will clog. You can make a filter using a Vacmotion filter and two screw in tc to npt fittings for about $50 that would scale...

    Chiller Coil Brite Tank in Unitank

    have you emailed them? while the dont have it on their site they may be able to create a invoice for you for a broken part. They did this for me a few years back when i had a coil bend from a drop.

    Brulosophy expert can't tell a Blonde Ale made with straight RO from RO plus minerals

    The story often starts with eyebrow raised at glaring off flavor with feelings of disappointment at dropping $6 on a pint of homebrew. The story finishes with me wishing I had just bought a $9-$12 6 pack of pilsner urquell or saison dupont at the store.

    Brulosophy expert can't tell a Blonde Ale made with straight RO from RO plus minerals

    I regularly leave unfinished beers, more than I could count. Beer is about the enjoyment of the flavors and craft I'm rarely drinking for the buzz when I'm out which is the only reason to drink meh beer. If a beer isn't well done I would rather spend the calories on something enjoyed.

    Brulosophy expert can't tell a Blonde Ale made with straight RO from RO plus minerals

    This hurts my eyes to read. Bad beer exists, it is very real and it flows from the bottles and taps of home and craft breweries all over this fine country.

    ***NEW PRODUCT*** The Yeast Brink from Nor Cal Brewing Solutions

    I have used the 3" and the smaller canning jar one. The canning jar one is a pretty big hazard to put under pressure imo. I had the jar shoot off the band a couple times and wont use it anymore.

    120v heating times wont be as much of an issue if you are doing 2.5 gallons.

    ***NEW PRODUCT*** The Yeast Brink from Nor Cal Brewing Solutions

    I my experience these guys will never work well for heavy dry hopping. They just can't hold enough soaked and expanded pellets. 3oz is the most I have used without it being an hour long affair to get them in the conical. To use the harvester to inject standard IPA hop bills its an all day...

    If you could start over...

    I have owned just about every variation of equipment and currently run a 3v electric setup. If I were starting over knowing what I know now I would start out with a single vessel system. I am a firm believer in buy once cry once if budget allows. Based on your desire to do 2.5 gallon batches...

    Should both SSR lights always be on?

    Hopefully heh i notice that one of the din rail block looks a little wonky very slightly warped but no burns I have a few spares from the original build so I think i'm going to pull that for good measure. It's pushing 100° this weekend so dont think ill be spending much time in the garage

    Should both SSR lights always be on?

    The answer is that the SSR light is off because the boil PID is reset to 0% while the HLT pid stays at 100% after power down. When I set the boil to anything other than 0 it lit up to represent the cycle.

    Should both SSR lights always be on?

    This is a 30a electric brew supply panel on a 30a gfci breaker. I dont want them both firing. Im just wondering why when everything is off (other than the main power) does the left SSR led stay on but the right SSR led never turns on. the right SSR LED doesnt turn on even if I turn the...

    Should both SSR lights always be on?

    I replaced a breaker, and main outlet from a burn out today when I powered up I noticed that the right SSR is not lit up while the left is. I seem to remember them both always being on. The right ssr is linked to the breaker I had to replace. Is it likely this SSR is toast too?

    Panel Repair burned out main.

    EDIT: After thinking on it I turned the boil pid up from 0% work duty cycle and the LED came on to represent that %. The HLT is always on because that is always set to 100% Now to see if I can brewed without a fire this weekend although its going to be 100° outside so it may be inevitable...

    Panel Repair burned out main.

    This is the consensus from those who I have heard from. I'm fairly convinced that the cable resting on the glycol chiller loosened the wires by vibration. I also haven't checked or tightened anything in the 5 years its been running so could be just a factor of time and negligence. A new...
