Are you using a Speidel fermentation tank? NEW PRODUCT from Nor Cal Brewing

[Jwin]

I am working on the Thermowell and blow off tube for this right now. With this part we have VERY little real estate to work with but I will fit em both in there if I can. We are setting up the laser to do this in the next few days. I'll keep you posted.

If the blowoff could pull double duty as a gas in for pressurized thransfers, could have a winner. A few different ways you could go at this.
I added a gas in post to a solid cap to achieve this and works well. Pull the bung and airlock, add solid cap, connect the gas and cold crash. I'll flip the gas on as needed to swell the lid. No suck back, no oxygen, easy transfer.
The PITA was finding the hardware. Possible idea for ya there.
Thanks for all your effort in bringing your unique products to the home brewing market!

This would be awesome! I use a carboy cap with the two openings but it doesn't always seal well.

Edited my autocorrect - carboy cap

Could you do the same thing with a thermowell in place of the racking cane in something like this:

The tee with the valve and a thermowell would use the same connection but allow the temperature measurement and blowoff to happen. Nice thing about this is you would just have to close the valves, connect CO2 to the valve and then pressure transfer.

Jay. I like your design but prefer a smaller valve. If you put a 3/8" half cuppler on the outside of the TC instead of the 1/2" nipple then I could get/attach one of these valves (Their dip tube not needed) and bam, Bobs you're uncle!

Mark, I am already building them to be honest. Should be done today. Although not for the Speidel but for fermenting in a keg.



It is this part with the 16" themowell instead of the blowoff tube..

Do you have the orange spigot caps for sale too? I am interested in a couple of these but need the screw on part as well. I picked up a couple of the 30L from a friend but helots the spigots...

I have them on the way. Unfortunately they ONLY come with that plastic spigot. I'll check how far out they are to get to me and let you know.

I have two of them and they work great...this is what I plan to attach to mine.

Mine showed up today. Very well made. Impressed with the value. It is going to get its maiden run this weekend. Nice job @Jaybird.

They are on the site now. I have been a few days behind because we ended up selling out of the parts I had made but we are up and running so, jump in man!

Got mine yesterday! Very well done and I can't wait to get it installed. Good job, guys!

Thank you for the feed back!

I have had a few questions on how to remove the plastic spigot to get the plastic ring free. Its easy, just pull them apart. They have a very small O'Ring the keeps it from leaking and it can kind of be a bugger to get free. I will do a video at some point. But if you just PULL and TWIST they come apart.

Thanks for all the orders you guys!

So any chance you can add a thermowell to the spigot version? That would be the cat's meow!! Offset the spigot and add a thermowell...should work for all sizes of Speidel?

I'm working on it Stone. It's looking plausible but we will know absolutely on Tuesday. We had SO much to do these last few days the fit just didn't happen. It's on the plate for Tuesday for fit and finish.

How high does the blow off tube go? Any chance you can make a lower profile version? In my ferment chamber, I use a standard three piece airlock with a carboy cap and it barely clears even with the airlock essentially shoved as low down as it can go.

Right now in that picture its 3.5" tall. Of course I can make you a lower profile one. Let me get them in my system today and I will shoot you a PM and let you know all about it and how low I can go..Cool?

Got mine Thursday! It fits like a charm! Lager chamber here I come!

I can get it down to 2.25" and still weld it without issues.

PM me if you want to get one made.

I am putting these on the site for $24.99 ea. Probably will be up Tuesday as my Web GURU is off for the 4th weekend...
