The heating pad would work on the SSB and Spike but the BH conical is insulated and jacketed so the heating source is quite removed from the wort, i would think it would be very inefficient.
Since these are out of stock we get to ask a lot of questions before ordering!
How are people handling warming the tanks for a diacetyl rest or using kviek? If you have 2 tanks you can’t really heat the glycol...
I was looking at your CIP ball for the fermentor, it recommends 40 to 60 PSI. I have a Riptide pump which is rated at 7 GPM. I'm not sure how to compare to two figures. Does the Riptide work?
I'm considering getting the 8 gal jacketed fermentor over the SSB unitank. You've got me thinking about getting the larger 15 gallon version for the flexibility. Have you tried filling it with 5.5 gallons of water to see where this level is on the tank? Would love to know!
