Jay,
I need 2 slotted (or other recommendation) 304 or 316 stainless pieces for my condensate hood. Need these to catch the moisture and direct the liquid to the hood gutter. Need 2 pieces each 26 inches long x 16 inches high. Available?

Hi @Jaybird - top of the New Year to ya!
I'm in need of 2ea 1.5" x 1.375" long TC spools; tube ID needs to be 1.304" or larger
Sadly for my use case, a standard 1" long spool is .25" too short, and a 2" spool is too long for a fitting to fit thru and into my conical.
Is something like this doable? Cost?

Hey Jay,
Any chance of making this out of stainless?

Man if I thought I could sell a boatload of them I would totally dive into that. If you want just 1 and want me to ask my CNC guy what it would cost to make it I am happy to do that. That said I can assure you its well into the $150+ range for a 1 off for that. TOTALLY DOABLE though.

Now that said I do make one "sort of" that you can use in its place. Give me a few min I'll post up a pict if I can.

I'd be interested in one of these also, but couldn't find it on your site.

Wonder if it could be modified so that Stainless Steel Floats could be attached, so that it would float in the mashtun.

Sorry you guys. It's a part we have been selling in the actual walk in store..LOL My web guy has not had a chance to add them to the web store. Go figure! If you want one just shoot me a PM I'll take care of you.

What's the tubing size on this? Also, what's the size of the gap between the plates? I use a siphon sprayer to recirculate on my HERMS system, so I need the gap at least big enough so that any husks that get past the FB won't clog the sprayer.
OP
OP
Gap is right at 1/4" so that shouldn't be a problem. Tubing is our 1/2" .035

A small stainless coil that could be threaded (or have a QD or TC connection) with some sort of “surround” so you could draw off samples from a boil kettle or mash tun and have them cooled for hydrometer readings, etc immediately after drawing.
Think- a small pot, with a small stainless coil inside it, one end of the coil connects to whatever style connection you have on a kettle / MLT, the other end comes out of the pot to fill a container for hydrometer or pH meter. You could fill the pot with ice water to chill the sample while collecting. The whole thing would be all connected together, compact and light so it could quickly be connected / disconnected from the kettle as necessary.

Absolutely! Thanks for the order. We are working on getting these up online. It's been a little crazy over here lately!

Do you use a pump / whirlpool / counterflow chiller perhaps?
If so, a tap off the whirlpool supply seems it would suffice.......
Mash tun sample.........Call me crazy, but I don't see a big rush to cool down on that one....
BUT, there's "no kill like overkill" !

No kill like overkill indeed! Good thoughts on the tap off the whirlpool supply. Typically I grab a hydrometer sample between mash and boil, so you’re right about no need to chill quickly, I usually just let it chill on it’s own and grab the hydrometer reading later.
The only time I wished I had a “fast sample” is when I’m fly sparging and don’t want to stop early or run too long. I’m sure part of that comes with experience, but I have always been like “if only there was some device to draw a sample quickly and have whatever reading within moments- I.e cooled to required temp”.

That turned out awesome!

i need the ultimate sanke cross fermenter kit AS PICTURED in the video (fully assembled with ball valves and all) WITH a spunding valve. (gas ball lock)
I've purchased two of the previous versions and never used them. My mistake. Theyre gonna hit the trash bin as soon as i get what i actually needed in the first place. ugh, i HATE waste

Item request: Brew bucket lid, Airlock Out/ Ball lock In, CO2 adapter fitting
I would like to have a fitting that attaches to the current brew bucket lid hole (or drilled out to attached this new adapter) that can take a airlock and switch to a ball lock post to hook up CO2 during cold crash. All this without removing the lid.
I thought about drilling a new hole (2nd hole in addition to airlock hole) and adding a ball lock post bulkhead but concerned plugging the stopper hole could open under light pressure while cold crashing (stopper is shrinking). The ideal solution can use a single lid hole that switched from stopper/airlock to ball lock post. I dont want the ball lock post on all the time as part of the solution because 2 out of 10 fermentations i have to have a blow off hose and i dont want a poppet valve getting in the way/clogging. Plus cleanup in that case is a mess.
Perhaps something involving a male cam lock on the lid could be the solution with female camlock elbow to male gas ball lock adapter? Just thought of this as i was typing.
Thoughts? anyone else interested in this?

I think what you are wanting is totally doable with stock off the shelf hardware using camlock or QD fittings and just adapt it all for quick swap.

Hey Jay, have you ever tried machining a female loc-line fitting?
It would be neat to take this mash plate and fabricate the stem end to snap onto a moveable 1/2" loc-line arm.

Jay, anyway you could combine with the 1.5" pull through triclamp, so that it could pull through?
i see it's back in stock on your site now.
is there any way to actually order EXACTLY what you have in the video (ball valves, camlock, and all) without pieceing it together myself?
i wanna order exactly what you have in the video fully assembled and throw the rest of the stuff i have in the trash.

You bet. I understand now. You bought Brand X and want to toss it out and get my system..GOTCHA! Yeah let me check out the video again and I'll shoot you a PM here in a bit with a order sheet. Disregard my earlier PM..

Does that crappy drawing make sense? Basically have the little spray bit be pullable through a 1.5” triclamp.
