    SSBrewTech - SVBS

    Just a carbide hole saw for the size I needed. Nope that rubber piece doesn't let any steam escape. I thought it would and was the reason I wanted to get the solid 10 gal lid, but I haven't had an issues with that.

    Good idea. I thought about a hop port, but it's pretty easy to just lift the lid for a few seconds. I mostly do lagers, if I did a lot of hop additions I might sing a different tune!

    Here is what I have here you go. No issues with the weight. I wish I would have cut the hole another inch towards the middle but oh well. The 10 gallon lid apparently fits the SVBS, I wanted to do that one as my steam lid, but it was out of stock at the time.

    SSBrewTech - SVBS

    I bought the steam slayer from brew hardware, I cut a hole and did a weldless TC port. I just keep it capped when I'm not using it. I brew in my Houston garage and it was worth every penny to have that, especially in the summer. My boil off rate was about the same when I was at 75% power with an...

    SSBrewTech - SVBS

    I still love mine. I’ve found to get my efficiency consistently in 65-70% range, I’ve had to crush really fine. Makes cleaning the basket kinda a pain but I have figured out a process for that. I would definitely buy it if I had to do it all over again.

    Wlp 005 + 080?

    Brewing a blonde ale and I have two yeast on hand I haven’t used before. Making this for a river trip and want a refreshing beer, with some flavor. I have WLP080 and WLP005. I had the idea to make a 50/50 starter and use that. Might get the crisp refreshing qualities from the 080 and the 005 to...

    I saw on instagram somewhere someone had the Ss brewtech 10 gallon lid and used that for the steam slayer. It was out of stock when I looked last so I just drilled a hole through the one that came with mine. I was worried that the steam would escape that rubber piece but it doesn’t and the steam...

    SSBrewTech - SVBS

    I’ve been crushing finer and have hit 72% on my last few brews, I think I was in the 50’s on my fist one . I’ve just used the Ss brewtech mill at my LHBS at +2 and that’s working great. I’ve been throwing hops in loose also and just build up my loss by .25 gals and that has been working. Steam...

    I have found that to be the complete opposite. I had an issue with my mash basket and lid and they shipped a new one out immediately. I’ve always had great customer service from them.

    SSBrewTech - SVBS

    My main knock is the software should be better. Touch screen is cool and all but it would be nice to automate and monitor on the phone, that was a big miss. Overall I still love the system. I just did a 18lb mash and the basket was super easy to lift out and drain. I usually let it drain over...

    For Sale 3v 240V HERMS - Houston -SOLD

    I recently went to an all in one and floating getting rid of this setup as I’ve downsized by kegerator and only doing 5 gallon batches. Not sure what to ask, starting at 500 obo. The controller was DIY and not sexy but gets the job done, built in 2019 and have about 20-25 batches through it...

    SSBrewTech - SVBS

    I went .075 on my first and .05 on the second brew. I’m gonna go a little finer on my next one. Good call on the brew cube, I’ve got one on the way as I havr mine on a 36” tall table and needed a chair to brew. It’s a hefty unit! I still love mine, still making some tweaks to get to 70%...

    Set Power Cooler for Glycol?

    I searched to see if there was any threads on this and didn’t see any, sorry if this has already been discussed. I’m looking the the Set Power AJ30 as a glycol chiller option. It runs off a compressor and reviews say it can get down to 5F. It even has a app to control it. Only thing I don’t...
