I was whacked on the Spike FB page or Reddit page for having it so high above the wort level because of hot-side aeration/etc. I don't have the experience level to discern such a thing but I figured it's a simple fix anyways

Here's the latest version of what the neighbors and I have tried. We did a couple SMaSH's, one with the bag (just slice a small slit/hole in the the bag) in the basket and one just the bag, didn't like either in the end so we're sticking with the basket. BUT we are keeping the arm with the...

Just finished bingeing a ton of his videos, any updates to him coming back? Super easy to watch and very informative dude

A SmartRef by Anton Paar, been wanting to purchase one of these for a hot minute! No more crazy swings in numbers!

Alright, here's the latest setup. The neighbor added some square steel to it so we've got the panel and the CFC within arms reach at all times. First trial run will be tomorrow for a Yeti Imperial Stout (21Lb grain bill in the 15g sys). Don't mind the mess on top of it, moving stuff around for...

2nd dibs!

I've got one as well, just made the switch to the 3-port. Let me know

Reviving an old(er) thread... What/how do you recirc when using the bag in the basket? Just the tube and lay it in there? I just got my 15G Solo and wasn't super happy with the recirc with stock parts, ended up using my old homemade sparge arm. Got any pictures of what you do?

Well I finally received my 15 gallon Spike Solo last week and was able to do a brew day with the neighbors today. Went pretty well. We did a dry run (wet run? just water) yesterday, learned that the ball valve was full open, water everywere yay! Messed with an old furniture dolly as a stand...

How long is the power cable for the 240V Solo? I plan to use my 14-50R then an adapter down to the 14-30P but I don't want to be setup too close to the garage wall. I saw this on Spike's website, 6ft power cable...

Tax return is done, 15G Solo (bottom drain) will be purchased via my LHBS tomorrow here in Vegas. Let's see how this goes!

What's the timeline on pumps? I'm bout ready to pull the trigger on a Solo bottom-drain 15G

So after reading all 336 posts, seems that the basket that comes with the Solo should be swapped out for a custom fine mesh and then you're golden. There was one post that I really agreed with which was about how dang expensive it all is when compared to a Clawhammer setup once the basket...
