Edit: the Spike Flex Plus lid gasket is EDPM. GIDDYUP….good to go!

Welcome buddy. Nice piece of kit ya got there! Why not show the Blichmann Therminator…..? Waiting to see a new glycol chiller addition - lol. Cheers 🍻

Finally!! Someone has actually done this and responded! Thanks Alteruser 😁 So did you keep the original lid gasket on or did you use something different? I don’t recall what material it’s made from. Do you have PTFE gaskets in all TC fittings? I believe Mile Hi Distilling has a 4” but need...

I’ve tried several different ways of recirculation, and honestly I have to say personally I can’t say it makes much of a difference. I agree with everything Tracer said above. I have the spray nozzle and have used it on my Spike Solo-Commander. I keeps recirculation even when you get it...

Looking for Blichmann Power Controller (not Brewcommander), 120v or 240v. If you have either (or both) you‘d like to sell please let me know.

Gonna send you a message since it’s RE: Distilling. Cheers 🍻

Are you distilling with your Foundry cmac? I agree…Bobby’s TC fitting in lid is excellent.

I have not tried on 240V. I switched due to weather change and brewing space. I no longer have a dedicated home brewing/distilling space…. hopefully we will again when we relocate. Yep, need to be running on 240V for sure.

Yep, outlets getting 120V….

Thanks Dunc, yes it does. if I’m not mistaken if this fuse blows you’ll have no power to unit itself; my display was lit so it was getting power. The relay to burner was suspect issue but Blichmann quickly sent me replacement- didn’t solve problem. Display is still getting power after board...

Hello all, Having an issue with my AF 6.5 and looking for help. It’s an early model with controls on bottom. Only been used 3-4 times. Kept in garage well protected and it’s not exposed to temp extremes (stays round 48F at lowest, 95F at highest). The few time’s I’ve used it, it was on...

TY520 - I’m a long time brewer just getting to distilled spirits. Was also looking for good beginners book and started with the complete joy of home distilling. For me it’s a good book to have overall, but if you’ve done much brewing or winemaking then there’s a few sections you don’t need -...

If it’s still possible I’d like code for 2 probe version. Cheers🍻

That is an excellent article - thanks for posting. 👍

This is a really nice looking setup Knightshade 👍 I’m going to use your set-up design to convert my 5 gas lines to Duo-tite this week. Cheers 🍻

Check out my link above for custom basket. For a 10 gal kettle mine was approximately $200 but they may have gone up.

I’ve been happy with 400 micron. IMHO I believe 200 micron is way too fine for mash basket, though I’ve never tried it. Here’s a link with some good info including mesh sizes for different applications. https://www.utahbiodieselsupply.com/brewingfilters.php#biab Cheers🍻 KBW.

Hey John, do you remember if/ how you modified your first Cooper’s Real Ale kit? That was my very first Homebrew attempt, about years ago. My friends and I were impressed with my results. We were all starting our Homebrewing journey and each did different kits for comparison. I believe we...

Cooper’s Real Ale…🍻

Two thumbs up for Arborfab and Utah Biodiesel Supply; I have baskets from both. The suggested coffee baskets are ok but have downsides to consider: 200 micron mesh size, and the stand-off height from bottom of kettle (1.75”..?). Given cost of coffee basket I’d definitely recommend a custom...
