    Oktober Design SL1 Home Brew Can Seamer Product Review and Demo (with Juicy IPA Recipe)

    Hey guys! I got my hands on the new Oktober Design SL1 home brew can seamer and decided to do a product review and demo of the unit. I canned up a few beers I already had in kegs as well as brewed a new Juicy IPA which I canned up 10 gallons worth. I canned around 180 cans with this guy over...

    Perfect. That's exactly what I was looking at and ended up getting

    CIP Demonstration on an SsBrewtech 14gal Unitank

    We used the cip mini which works great with the home brew pump. The larger CIP needs a sump pump or the mega pump. But the mini has worked well for us

    CIP Demonstration on an SsBrewtech 14gal Unitank

    I did a few searches on here for CIPs and while there is information about building one and what type of pumps were bought, they were all a little dated (pre 2017). So I figured I would make a video of what our CIP setup looks like on our 14gal Unitank. Parts: Ssbrewtech Mini CIP with 3" TC...

    SsBrewtech 14gal Unitank Product Review ( and photos )

    Absolutely agree. Spike has been releasing more and more accessories to complete the Unitank build. Out of the box their unit is not a unitank, its a conical and you have to buy the accessories to use it as a unitank. As you mentioned for some this is a great approach but in the long run it...

    SsBrewtech 14gal Unitank Product Review ( and photos )

    Me personally I like Ss better but they each have different things going for it. Spikes is nice because you're not forced to buy everything all at once upfront. You can piece of together as you wish. The big things that make me like Ss better is that there isn't a lid and a band clamp which...

    SsBrewtech 14gal Unitank Product Review ( and photos )

    All equipment is returned for both Spike and Ss unless I decide I want to keep it at which point I purchase it

    SsBrewtech 14gal Unitank Product Review ( and photos )

    No it's a fair question. I do not work for Ss or have any financial connections with them. We get equipment from them to do testing and reviews on. We do the same with Spike equipment. We reviewed their kettles as well as their CF10.

    SsBrewtech 14gal Unitank Product Review ( and photos )

    SsBrewtech's Unitank is now available for home brew scale batches. We got our hands on one to check out! Ssbrewtech a few years ago took the home brew market by storm with their stainless brew bucket. Over the years they have engineered some of the best home brewing equipment to hit the...

    Ss Brewtech Brite Tank Review and Photos

    H22lude that's not true at all. A bright tank is a storage vessel a keg is a serving vessel. They serve completely different functions in the brewing process. A brite tank is not a just a large keg.

    Calculating ABV from Fruit Additions - An Actual Calculator

    All good feedback. Sorry I haven't responded. Give me a little bit (probably tomorrow) and I will show you guys the calculations and what it's doing. If we agree it's wrong well fix it and get it to a state where we think it's right.

    Calculating ABV from Fruit Additions - An Actual Calculator

    I understand what all of you are saying but you are giving opinions on what you think. What would help is if you could explain it using the math. I'll put up the mathematical equation and logic I used. The reason you don't need the OG and FG of the wort is because that is the calculated...

    Calculating ABV from Fruit Additions - An Actual Calculator

    It takes into account the water added by the fruit. So when calculating the alcohol it takes the sugar as well as the water from the fruit.

    Ss Brewtech Brite Tank Review and Photos

    I agree i think it is niche but definitely a nice addition if you are going the professional home brew route. As for the oxidation, by putting down a layer of CO2 you are providing less of a risk for oxidation, not elimination. and you wouldnt have to spray down the entire vessel to remove...

    Ss Brewtech Brite Tank Review and Photos

    I think every home brewers dream is to own a commercial brewery at some point. For most of us, its a dream that will never become a reality. But what about having a commercial home brew setup? That's doable with the first ever brite tank at a home brew level from Ss Brewing Technologies...
