Made a small attachment for my Flex+... I became a bit concerned with introducing oxygen when adding additions after fermentation stops. Particularly for NEIPA’s which are very susceptible to oxidation. So I built a dispenser that can be purged with CO2 and the additions added without fear of...

looks tiny in there. But moving that thing when heavy sucks! I noticed the T fitting on top of your Flex+. Have you seen the new multi port lid Spike just released?

I’ll snap some pics next week. Right now I’m fermenting out a Citra IPA, so fridge is full. I have a few mods to add levelling feet, and they will finalize it.

viva la revolution! Thanks for checking it out. I am very pleased with how it turned out.

Hi everyone. New home brewer here, and just wrapped up my second all-grain batch and thought I'd show a couple pics of my Keezer build, which has performed flawlessly so far. Started with a 7.2cu ft. Danby chest freezer, which is large enough for 6 corny kegs on the floor. I added my collar...

Quick update here after wrapping up my first brew day with the Clawhammer 120V system. The system performed very well, and overall I am very pleased. I missed my numbers by a bit, with an overall brewhouse efficiency of 60% vs. the published 70% value. This appears to not be influenced much by...

Well, I did get around to putting a collar on my mini-fridge to serve as a fermenting chamber in which I can also cold crash... And it worked like a charm! Holds temperature exceptionally well, even down to 2-degrees Celsius. The composition is 5/8" dimensional spruce, a 1/2" layer of purple...

Great. My experiments yielded a boil off of 0.58 +/- 0.04 gal/hr, so well aligned. Just noticed my post above quoted mL instead of L... oops.

Thanks mate. Indeed, I have the Clawhammer 120V. I looked into Unibrau too, especially since they are more local, but decided on the Clawhammer system in the end. I was only asking this group to see what others have found for boil off rates, but my experiments are reproducible, so I'm happy. I'm...

Yeah, it's definitely not something that I've seen a lot of, but there are some videos and pics online. 8" just seems really darn big. I have my cabinet-making neighbour checking it out tonight to fabricate something that is elegant looking for this and my keezer. Then I'll insulate the snot out...

Hi guys. New to this home brewing, but diving in head first. Working on a fermentation chamber using an old mini fridge and clearly want it to accommodate my Flex+. By measurements I will need an 8” collar as the darn compressor hump is too tall for the flex. Anybody done an 8” collar before?

Thanks so much Zooksta. This is very helpful. I reached out to Spike, but they do not mention anything with respect to O2 flow, and I would worry that opening the tank full-bore would be somewhat excessive in terms of flow... and probably wasteful. Appreciate the commentary. I'm very new to...

Can you guys elaborate with which regulator you use on the red disposable oxygen tanks? For those of you with a Spike fermenter, do you need to control the O2 flow as you would using the carb stone to carbonate?

Hi everyone. New home brewer here. After a reasonable amount of research I have settled on the Clawhammer 120V system, as it suits my purposes almost ideally. While I appreciate the myriad of variables that go into optimizing, for those of you with the 120V, what have you calculated for your...
