I see that SS Brewtech has just announced their updated FTSs "Touch" fermentation temp controller. It looks like it goes a long way to address some quality and appearance issues, but I think they really missed an opportunity here. As a user, I appreciate what they've done, but it's mostly...

I decided to give kveik yeasts a try in a double NEIPA I was planning. I pitched a whole pack of Imperial A44 Kveiking at 75 degrees F into a 1.073 gravity wort (6 gallons). Yeah, I probably should have only pitched half of it... I slowly raised the temp up to 92F, and saw airlock activity...

Does anyone dump trub after spunding up to pressure in the unitank? Since we start spunding before fermentation has completed (and since I like to do a 2nd dry hop after fermentation & soft crashing to 58F), I'd really love to be able to do another trub dump before racking to my keg. But I...

I'm pretty new to the homebrewing scene, and I'd heard that the Maltose Falcons are the oldest brewing club in the US, from San Francisco. So I looked them up, and it appears that they're a 100% LA organization now. How did that come about? Is there a Dashiell Hammett connection there too...

After my first fermentation in my unitank, a few of the white silicone gaskets (particularly in the dump valve area and the racking area) were stained pretty green. After scrubbing with PBW (and sanitizing with Star San), they are still greenish and even still giving off a hop odor. Is there a...

My first fermentation in the SS Brewtech Unitank of a hazy IPA went pretty well, and I tried to do all the tricks: CO2-purged dry hopping, trub dumping, cold crashing, and carbonation in the unitank. When I was enjoying the benefits of the sampling valve, I noticed that my samples were pretty...

Is there a workable procedure for rotating a SS Brewtech Unitank racking valve after the tank has been pressurized, in the case of: a) pressure fermentation, or b) an idiot like me forgets to rotate the valve between cold crashing and carbonation? It's my first time with the Unitank, and...
