This is/was a great thread of information, I’ve always come on here to learn new things since I’m not really handy. My question, I’m sure it’s been done but just wondering peoples procedures. Adding fruit in secondary in a CF10? Do you add it to the conical after dumping your yeast? Do you...

Was a really cool listen. Seemed like he was a reluctant (Maybe big system can homebrew Numbers make it hard) to come of water chemistry and other information but eventually gave pretty good insight. The cold crashing To 55 before dryhopping seems like something they picked up from an...

Hooked mine up to a CF-10 with the cooling coils. I initially set it up so glycol was going reverse through the coils (spike guide lines) since I wanted to try to drop it as low as I could to test time then realized I should break it in easy. But didn’t switch the flow of the coils, to be...

Sorry late to the party on this thread. Just got my tracking number. I was a backer on Kickstarter though. I found their communication pretty solid. But I am also a backer of the coolest cooler and after 6yrs I’m getting $20 of my invested $240 back in the next 3 months so I guess I’m fairly...

Sorry, again. Forgot to get the hose connectors for the temperature coil. Trying to avoid Spikes shipping cost for a low budget item. #1) do I need those to connect my hoses? #2) Is there a quality Amazon version? #3) What size hose is everyone running if you’re using the temp coil...

Thanks for the concern. Obviously my posts don’t really exude anything to give anyone confidence, and I don’t blame you. Haha. I was copying Mongoose-style. My thoughts were to leave the BV open at all times until I’m ready to load the sight glass with hops then purge, and dump. Then keep the...

Just switched it out and if anyone is wondering it’s 500% more stable. *face palm*

I sourced the blue ones from Amazon. Trying to cut a corner or two where I could. I didn’t even think about putting them on the outside that would probably definitely help with support and stability huh? I was just so excited I decided to be a moron last night.

Hey thanks for the input from everyone on here. I was literally being a moron. I think I fixed it with the advice of people on here! The valve above and below the site glass I was thinking of using to harvest yeast. Again, super newbie to this. Was thinking of leaving top valve open during...

This thread kills it! After my last question on here with the responses about brewing a 5g batch in the CF10, I pulled the trigger on a CF10. Just getting it put together. Do you think the highest Port on the side of the conical is too high for the temperature port for 5g batches? If so what do...

Sorry, the dry hopping topic is really interesting and helpful to see how other people are trying their best to do it oxygen free. But, I’m just about to pull the trigger on what feels like months of research and debating on my setup. It’s been answered but just want to feel like someone other...

Anyone have an idea of what Spike usually does for Black Friday? Dragging my feet a little and feel like this coming week could do the trick. Cheers! [emoji482]

Why does this free forum cost me money? Haha. Just ordered it from Williams. I saw the video a while back and it was out of stock but they’re now restocked. For $30 I’ll be the guinea pig. I’ve also been kicking around the idea of a paint strainer around the Mash Tun. Been stirring halfway...

This makes the most sense to me just making sure I’m not over doing it. Thanks for the reinforcement! You guys should have stock in Spike! Haha! Much appreciated to this forum, as usual!! Cheers!

Some awesome stuff on this thread! Thank you all for sharing. My current dilemma (?) is whether to get the CF5 or CF10. I use the Grainfather right now so I can’t Brew 10G batches but that’s not to say I won’t increase later. I also do a lot of fruited kettle sours and NEIPAs. I’ve secured my...

Followed your lead and brewed pretty much the same beer. Hot weather in Houston and this sounded excellent. I only used half a packet. Saving the other half for something different. Within 5hrs I had activity. About 48hrs later I’m down to 1.014 and still chugging. Question, you stated that...

I created a username and found it. The offline ones are not. Good news is I’ve been having problems with some of my volumes and everything I e heard about these calculators is they’re spot on. Thanks so much for the help!!! Brew on! Cheers!

Link? It keeps saying this...

I don’t have the connect therefore never felt the need for app. But online calculators are down for mash and sparge volumes. Is there any place I could get those since I’d like to brew soon? Thanks for the help!

Just a huge thanks to all the discussions and talks on this forum. Huge Lurker on here and have been following along and trying all kinds of suggestions. My latest ipa original grain grist with a 1/2lb of GNO. Did one dryhop addition. Used A24 for the first time and it is AWESOME! Cheers to you...
