    Doubling Down: SS Brewtech Conical + FTSS + Glycol Power Pack

    Has anyone tried the spike conical heating pads on the ss brewtech unitanks? I have two 14 gal unitanks with inkbird hot+cold controllers. The brewtech heat pads appear to only have connectors for the ftss controller, but the spike pads can plug right into the inkbirds I already own. I realize I...

    Doubling Down: SS Brewtech Conical + FTSS + Glycol Power Pack

    I didn't buy a first one yet and was looking at two. Now I have to find yet another $200 or just change my plans entirely. :(

    Doubling Down: SS Brewtech Conical + FTSS + Glycol Power Pack

    Did the price of the 14 gal version go up by $100 recently? I could have sworn they were $999.

    BCS-controlled, glycol-chilled conical fermentation setup.

    Hi all. I'm planning out a BCS-controlled, glycol-chilled conical fermentation setup. I have an ssbrewtech glycol chiller that I got a great deal on. I've considered several control options and I think the BCS is my best bet. Not only do I already use a BCS in my brew control panel, which gives...

    Doubling Down: SS Brewtech Conical + FTSS + Glycol Power Pack

    As mentioned, this would work, but I hope the irony of buying a top-of-the-line, sanitary-fitting stainless steel unitank and then deciding to throw plastic water bottles inside isn't lost on you. :) I had the same line of thinking, but far more ideally someone could recommend some stainless or...

    Doubling Down: SS Brewtech Conical + FTSS + Glycol Power Pack

    Install the valve above the elbow (horizontally) or at the end of a sight glass after the elbow? No idea how that would affect overall function, but it should give more space. Mike.

    Doubling Down: SS Brewtech Conical + FTSS + Glycol Power Pack

    Is there any concern about the pressure gauge being at the same vertical height as the blow-off? I don't have any experience with them. Mike.

    Doubling Down: SS Brewtech Conical + FTSS + Glycol Power Pack

    If what I suggested (tee on top) works, you wouldn't need to depressurize. That tee sits on top throughout ferment with the butterfly valve open at bottom and PRV at top. At dry hop time, close valve, flip PRV piece off, add hops, replace PRV, purge with CO2 from side (which also re-pressurizes...

    Doubling Down: SS Brewtech Conical + FTSS + Glycol Power Pack

    > The reasoning is because of the coil, yeah. It says on the website somewhere that the very bottom of the coil is about 2.5G mark and 5.5G has half of the coil submerged. That's not too bad. Does anyone use some neutral, sanitize-able objects of stainless or glass or something to displace...

    Doubling Down: SS Brewtech Conical + FTSS + Glycol Power Pack

    > Oooooh somethin shiny just showed up... Nice! You wouldn't happen to be able to post the liquid levels for the sample port, the thermowell port, and the bottom of the chilling coil, would you? I've been through many threads and haven't seen them yet for the ssbt unitank. I did see a 5.5...
