Is that your system? Super nice if so, especially the keg washer.. But mine was a little different, it was a 50gal kettle with the electric winch and three supports for the trolley rail thingymajig.

Hi, I have a 1BBL single vessel Colorado Brewing Nano Brewer system, but am missing the top portion of the frame with the trolley for the winch and all that. I was hoping for a picture so I could take it to a fabricator and have them make replacement parts, but I've been unable to find any...

I almost went with the cool zone, but I don’t like that they aren’t insulated, so I’d have to insulate over them. I’m still kinda leaning toward the coolstix, takes up less space when not in use and seems less finicky overall (with the coolstix, I can just put on the insulation jacket and drop...

Yeah a cooling jacket would be more efficient indeed, but I didn’t have any luck finding such. Can someone provide a link? Ideally it works with torpedo kegs as well as corneys.

Yeah I was planning on an enclosure. I’m now thinking a tri clamp bulkhead on the lid will be really fiddly in such a tight space. Those lids are already hard enough ti get on as is. Is there a different port or fitting that might work better for this application that’s compatible with coolstix?

If I built an insulted cabinet to hold some kegs, or a cabinet per keg, and ran glycol through each keg with something like a coolstix[0] mounted on a tri clamp corney lid [1], how inefficient would this be compared to a normal kegerator or keezer, provided it was equivalently insulated (i.e...

Are these regular or slimline?

are the torpedos still available?

Do you still have the 2.5gal torpedos?

what do you guys use for fermentors? curious why I don’t see more (micro) breweries using 55gal drums as such. I’ve got a 1BBL eBIAB (Colorado) and a bunch of these drums, so if I find a sweetheart deal it’d be cool to be able try running a commercial brewery without buying much more. I live in...

Thanks, seems like it should be as simple as I thought then. Just curious, why don’t see I more people, especially brewery startups, doing this? It’s crazy cheap compared to other 1BBL electric options. Is there a drawback I’m not seeing?

Hi all! I do BIABasket brewing on a Unibrau V3 10gal, and I'm wanting to maximize my efficiency, but also don't want a bigger / bulkier setup or significantly longer brew day (in terms of hands-on time, anyway), so a dedicated HLT or cooler is out of the question, imo. I recently purchased the...

I have 3 55gal drums and one 85gal, all stainless with removable lids and two tri-clamp ports installed at the bottom. I’ve been unsure what to do with them (they currently reside at a farm), but today it occurred to me that they’d potentially make a very natural electric 3-vessel setup. Could...

I would be doing this after the wort has chilled though. And yeah I’d be pitching right after. Am I misunderstanding something?
