A larger Mash Tun means you can do REALLY BIG beers. :rockin:

Not to degrade your post, but I didn't want to make this one too long. Here is another idea for two stage control. Find an inline pump for the cooling using your chiller. Then add a submersible pump in the ice chest with a heater. Put one-way check valves on the output of both pumps...

For $219 that is really expensive for a Peltier and temp controller. The unit linked above looks to be an actual refrigeration unit. Peltier devices tend to be quite a bit less efficient than a compressor type refrigeration unit, and they only deliver a delta temperature dropof 10-20...

Any new updates on this? I've been researching controllers and the Ohmbrew is on my list of out of the box solutions.

I'm a test engineer, and have worked on very complex systems for most of my career. The simplicity and effectiveness of this setup makes me feel all funny. :D

Nice things about the Silicone tubing is how flexible it is and easy to use. I love that stuff.

Anyone else got of these these FTS setups?

What are you looking for in a blowoff tube? When I got mine a friend who had them said 1/2" Silcone tubing would fit in the hole in the lid. I use a lot of the silicone tubing on my system so I grabbed a spare piece and tried it. Sure enough, works great.

I'm still waiting to get mine, too busy with my Masters. This is a good write up. Gotta say, very cool and clever solution. http://bierkast.com/2014/10/16/ss-brew-tech-ftss/ Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

I have the 1100 in my kegerator and have to empty it at least once a week, sometimes more. They work really well. I may get another one. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Got an email that these are now available. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

That is kind of a subjective question. For me yes, no doubt they are worth the price. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Understand, and I would do the same. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

I was talking to a friend about the issues people have had, he has some buckets too. He sent me this screen shot. Apparently Stone is using the buckets for hop trials and is very happy with this. I thought that was pretty cool, and a good endorsement.

Out of curiosity, why is this pitting an issue for you? You said you sent it back, and they sent you a new one? I think we can all say one thing, SSBrewtech customer service has been impressive.

Watching the orders of the buckets it seems to me their system is either "in stock" or "sold out". I haven't heard of anyone with this yet. I am sure they are on their way. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

I have a false bottom in my boil kettle and do a whirlpool then rest after flameout. I end up with very little trub, hop matter, or break material in the fermenter.

Do you have pics of the pits? These have become really popular with a lot of people I know, and I have not heard any complaints. I have two, my sister in law bought 5, and I have a number of friends who have a LOT. Would really like to know what kinds of pits people are seeing. If there is...

Anyone else see this? I knew they were working on it but just found out they have the final information on their site. Really cool setup. http://www.ssbrewtech.com/collections/ftss I don't need the ice chest setup since I have a glycol chiller but do think that is very clever. I know you can...
