Err, ferment at 62. Sorry, late night last night.

Mash at 62, Cellar temp between 68 and 70 depending on time of day..

How important is it, if at all, to maintain fermentation temperature during dry hopping? Assuming fermentation is complete. I'm talking about a 6 to 8 degree rise in temperature to my cellar's ambient temperature.

How often do you guys replace the gaskets for the TC fittings on a Spike conical? I have a number that I clean and sanitize after use but they're getting pretty discolored and I wonder if they may be causing contamination.

Is all of the peripheral equipment you may have cross-compatible? If not, and you're happy with what you have, why not just get a second?

Or...Maybe Spike can provide some measurements and we can order the correct one the first time. Saves around $20-30 in shipping. Plus I have mine bolted to a plywood sheet for stability purposes. It's a PITA to disassemble and reassemble multiple times. Don't get me wrong, I like their stuff. I...

Thanks dlink72. It looks like I have the same problem. So...I'll need to order a jacket. Have is misfit. Contact Spike with the problem. Return the jacket. Wait possibly two months to get a "fixed" jacket??? Not really the best business plan.

This seems inefficient. Why order a jacket only to most-likely return it if you find out you have one of the early conicals? So...OK I'll start. From the edge of my bottom port to the lower edge of the lowest port on the cone measures just about 4.5 inches. dlink72: If you don't mind. What is...

I buy locally, mostly, and the costs are a little high but I'd rather spend a couple of extra dollars versus the bad old days when Bud and Miller were the top (sometimes only) choices. No slam against them, particularly. I just think honest competition encourages excellence. Sometimes not. But...

I'd imagine Spike has a list of who may be affected by this. I wasn't a preorder customer but I did order mine pretty early. I was thinking about ordering a jacket and stuff (will probably do so eventually) but it'd be nice to know of any potential misfits before I get it sent to me. I really...

Any way to tell whether we have one of the early ones or not? Measurements?
