I can't really take credit for it.

I have a spare cap, but i think i want to keep my thermowell. I used a scrap of 3/8" stainless tubing and a compression cap. Way cheaper than buying one. My ranco probe fits just fine, but my love probe does not........

Geesh... I don't wanna know.

Anyone add a ball lock gas port on the lid? If so, what items are needed to do this?

morebeer just released a chrome spigot - awaiting info on whether is are threads inside or some way to connect a pickup tube.



I have my first batch in a 7.9G one ready to transfer in a few days and was wondering how to avoid trub/yeast in my keg.

I am also interested to know about hooking up a co2 port!

I cold crash a week then go from the Spiedel right to corny keg. First pour post carbing might have some sedimemt but not much. You could always fine with gelatin once in the keg for an extra level of clarity.

In a nutshell I've not had issues with trub and using the Spiedel spigot.

I'll have the fermentor tilted back a bit - as long as that yeast cake is below the spigot opening I think I am golden. I plan to crash starting tomorrow morning and transfer midweek.

Overall VERY happy with this fermentor.

I just got one. There doesn't seem to be any way to put a pickup tube in. Smooth bore inside. Other wise I like it. Much better than the leaky ordinal one. Kinda pricey.

I'm looking at the 30 gallon version to accompany the 41 gallon ss brewpot I purchased today (home goods $199). I don't imagine the issues will be any different in the larger size? I can't believe I am even considering batches this large...

 

[InstantArcade]

My new 7.9 gallon one must be different than yours , fp, because the only threaded anything on the top is a 5" diameter hole. The only other opening in the lid at all is the smooth bung port. I think that's what I'll drill a hole into, the red bung...it's plenty frozen now! I'll report back w/ success or failure!

If you have a smooth bung port, then the lid is probably on upside down. They put it that way for shipping. I made the same mistake.

I use one of the orange carboy caps with mine so I can add a thermowell.

So frigging happy to read this.
Thanks!

Does anyone know what size hose you're supposed to use with the spigot....I have the same problem....1/2 is too big and 3/8 is too small

If you use 3/8 silicone tubing it will stretch over.

I am really thinking of getting the 30 gallon one. I usually brew 15 gallon batches and I am sick of splitting it into 3 carboys and I cannot justify spending over 700 on a conical

I use 7/16 and it fits nice and snug with no air leakage

Have you checked Nor Cal Brewing? They make a adapter to use a standard ball valve.
