On the earlier version of the Anvil the Universal Alembic Pot Still lid would fit, but the new version (like I just bought) is wider. I want to try a pot still lid first, rather than the Turbo one, but will eventually try both, assuming someone makes one. Looks like I might not have a choice...

Has anyone thought about, or found an Alembic dome lid that fits this new version (6.5gal)?

Negra Modelo clone. Good stuff.

I pretty much second everything Boomer is saying. I have a GMG Danielle Boone WiFi version, and have done everything from burgers, chicken breasts, steaks of all kinds, ribs, tri tip, brisket, pork chops, etc. The grates/drip pan slide so the holes open up, giving a better sear. I even bought...

I have the racking arm, and unless you are leaving the trub in the conical the entire time it is useless. The arm does not go below the bottom of the racking port, so if you do dump the tub, your going to leave quite a bit of beer I the bottom of the conical. If you do leave the trub, it does...

Any liquid will absorb the CO2 for a period of time before stabilizing. You can test the conical empty. I did have to take some 2000 grit wet sandpaper and smoothed the lip on my CF10 to get a good seal, but also make sure that all the TC connectors are VERY tight. The pressure manifold also...

So if you do dump the tub, what is the best way to get every oz possible out of this conical? I'll measure here this afternoon sometime, but if your running a setup with the 90°elbow and a sight glass, and you pressure transfer out of the racking port, your leaving quite a bit in the bottom...

Is there any practical purpose for the racking arm, assuming you are removing the tub from the bottom?

Ordered the tc-100 as well. So would an aqua chiller work well enough for cold crashing? I assume you have to hook it to a small reservoir (couple gallons or so), so it would probably be able to cool fairly quickly right, or easily drop 12 gal to below 40°? Or does this chiller go below 40?

That's even better than capping the end, that way you wouldn't have to remove the sight glass to empty it.

I'm happy with the quick responses from Spike. I just want to start making great beer in this new conical. My apologies to sheikyerbouti. Back to the original topic.

It seals, and will in the end probably be a good unit.

I have yet to actually try this, but would a sight glass, with a cap on one end, attached after the valve be enough to collect what you want? That way you close the valve and empty the sight glass without having to worry about spraying stuff half way across your brewery. Or would it be to...

Those are what the welds from the legs and the handles look like on the inside of the tank.

They did respond, which I do appreciate. We'll see what happens.

I was just contacted by Spike. I'll give them kudo's to the quick reply.

Thanks SpikeBrewing! Appreciate it!!

philly224 - that temp control unit was one of the reasons I went with Spike, and was excited for its release too. I also bought pretty much all of the accessories with it (minus the coil).

I sent an email to them today.
