    Glycol Chiller Build - Gylcol vs Ethanol

    Here's my glycol build. Not finalized but wanted to cold crash the fermenter so figured I'd test it out. STC 2000 controls the AC unit. Wiring is the compressor hot and low fan wire connected to input hot with a paper clip and neutral input to start capacitor with paper clip. Everything to...

    Trub dump from conical

    I'm brewing a lager in my new conical. It's bubbling steadily now for over 2 weeks. Then I read that you should dump the trub like 24 hrs after it starts fermenting. I tried to dump some yesterday and it just sprayed beer and I didn't have a good container to catch it. So I left it alone. Also...

    FastFerment. A First Brew Review.

    FastFerment. A First Brew Review. My wife bought a FastFerment for me this Christmas. Yeah. She’s cool like that. I just bottled my first brew fermented in it. Pros: 1. It’s the least expensive way to buy a new conical. Mine came with the main vessel, two collection bowls, one...

I am trying to figure out the best way...

    Hey Guys Getting ready to build my next setup. I'm thinking I'm going to go with a Chronical Brewmaster for fermentor. I'm just curious if anyone has one that they clean primarily with CIP. I've had great results cleaning Sankety fermentors and cornies in the past with a 1/4 HP sump and CIP...

    Chilling system for a Unitank

    I am contemplating purchasing a SS Unitank (either the 14 gallon or half bbl). My brewing system is limited most by the fermentation vessels I use right now, as I still use carboys (uggh). Does anyone have experience with the smaller SS unitanks? I am particularly interested in hearing about...

    I just recently started fermenting in a conical fermenter. I am trying to collect some trub from the fermenters after about 4 days. The consistency is more like milk than cream, the temp is 68 and I have not cold crashed yet. Am I collecting to early? How long should I wait to collect, then...

    Help choosing a SS conical

    So, I'm in the market for a conical -- 2 actually. I do 10 gallon batches, but I'd probably split it between 2 conicals so I could move them from brew area to cooler. I'd also want to bottle straight from them. I don't think I could pick up a full 14 gallon conical. I'm looking at...

    Conical Fermenter from Pony Keg

    Quick question, I have Pony Keg I am thinking about converting to a conical fermenter. I found an SS cone to weld on. The only thing is that I don't know if it has enough slope to be useful. It is 13" major dia, 2" minor dia, and 5" tall. Any thoughts? Thanks
