👍 Just ordered them. Thanks Brad

Making it in 5 gallon batches (BIAB). But this new toy kind of opens up a new world. I live just north of Seattle and I'm thinking I can go to a number of breweries around here and have a corny keg filled while my batch is fermenting. I have a Spike 5 gallon fermenter and really wish I'd spent...

That looks cheep and easy. So using these two adapters, I'm just bypassing the Sanky connector on the bottom...Is this correct? Thanks, Brad

Got a Kegerator from the kids for my birthday. The gave me the web page to show me the unit. Due to supply chain issues, the thing took about 6 months to be delivered. It does not come with a keg. So..I try to get ahead of the game and go out and buy a corny keg. It has two ball lock connections...

Agreed. After doing some regulator research, the Three gauge is the way I'm going to go. It's more than I need in the near term, but I want to get equipment that I won't outgrow. Taprite seems to get decent reviews. Thanks

I don't have the CO2 gear yet so I do need to use the bucket for the batch I'll be bottling next week. When I do get the CO2 gear I'd like to try bottling from directly from the fermenter. I'll look around this site for a thread on that subject. Thanks

I have my first batch in the CF-5. I'm one week away from bottling. I had to pick up the fermenter and put it on a table to gain enough height to transfer the beer into my bottling bucket on bottling day next Saturday. My first use of the CO2 gear will not be a closed pressure transfer. It will...

Thank you, very helpful.

Thanks, free shipping as well. Thanks for the link!

Hi Iso, I'm fairly new to brewing. I know I like it and I'm also into buying good tools. It's going to take me awhile to gear up to put together the system I want to build. I'm starting with the fermenter as temperature control is a priority. Next I'm going to get the CO2 gear to practice...

Thanks, Northern Brewer has a double gauge regulator I can buy with the tank.

Hi all, I recently purchased a CF-5 and about $600 in accessories. I currently have a batch fermenting. To get the full benefits of the equipment, I need to get a CO-2 tank and the Spike Gas Manifold Package with the Spike Closed Pressure Transfer Kit. (these two items are not in the $600 in...

I've been brewing 5 gallon extract batches for a year. I'm 61 and am going to pull the retirement plug at 66.5. I'm looking forward to brewing as a hobby in my retirement years. To that end, I've started with a Blichmann Hellfire burner and a Spike 15 Gallon brew kettle. ...My next purchase...

Hi, Yes, I took a sample directly from my Kettle after chilling down to 70 degrees . I have a Spike Kettle with gallon markings on the inside of the Kettle. Volume was just over 5 gallons (like 5 1/8) so it probably was a little diluted. I opened the butterfly valve a little way and put a...

Well Shhhhhhhhoot.......Brewed my first 5 gallon extract Kit (Northern Berewer) using my new equipment in the garage. This is my 3rd 5 gallon Kit and the first two came out Perfectly from OG to exact ABV in the final product. I brewed these two on the stove. This 3rd one should have had an OG...

Hey all, thanks for the welcome and advice. Brewing tomorrow (4/5)....Really looking forward to using my new equipment.

Hi, been brewing for 6 months or so, and really have the bug. I started with 5, 1 gallon extract brews......Just finished my 2nd - 5 gallon batch using extract kits . The 2- 5 gallon kits I've brewed were on the stove using 3 gallons in the steep, boil , then adding distilled water to bring the...
