    Spike Flex Plus Owners

    I'm curious if any of you have come up with a good CIP process for the Flex+ ? I wrecked my back a few years ago and since then I have become somewhat of an expert in brewing without lifting. By adding hoists and pumps to my setup I'm able to get through an entire brew day and packaging...

    Source for 4" TC weldless bulkhead?

    Ya, that's what I'm finding as well. Hopefully, something pans out though. I'm not worried about curvature. The bulkhead is for a flat surface. I have a Spike Brewing TC100 cooling system that I would like to use with another fermenter. The coil is designed to attach to the lid of their...

    Do tri-clamps ever fail?

    Curious if anyone has ever come across reliability data on tri clover clamps? I'm not super concerned about clamps failing on my personal homebrew equipment but this past weekend I was visiting a brewery and noticed the brewmaster was taking a sample from his 7-barrel brite tank. He was pouring...

    The $129 simple non AC glycol chiller

    I haven't procured a freezer yet but I was planning on using something like this weldless shank for going through the freezer door. Would just need to add some barb connectors on each end for the tubing. I used some thing very similar for a jockeybox build...

    Craft-a-Brew Statis update?

    I did get an update. They expect to have the pre-sale launch in early November. No details on why the months-long delay though. I saw a prototype on HomeBrew Con and am pretty excited about it. It was about the size of a microwave oven and they had it cooling two fermenters. All indications are...

    Craft-a-Brew Statis update?

    Anyone know what the status of the Craft-a-Brew Statis glycol chiller is? I saw it at HomeBrewCon in June. They sent out a marketing email in July saying that it would be available in August... Here it is almost October and there's been no further communication.

    The $129 simple non AC glycol chiller

    Well you fared better than I did. I purchased it 3 weeks ago and my PayPal was charged but have not heard a peep from the seller. Guess it's time to file a claim with eBay.

    Anyone use a stand-up AC unit for a glycol chiller build?

    Further research has turned up this blog post: http://www.brewunited.com/index.php?blogid=225 Still curious about others' experience though. Anyone else used a standup AC unit?

    Anyone use a stand-up AC unit for a glycol chiller build?

    I have an old portable air conditioner that I'd like to repurpose for a DIY glycol chiller. All of the build examples I've seen online use a window-style AC unit. The unit I have is a portable rolling unit similar to this one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01DLPUWG2/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20...

    Hop filter solution for eBIAB

    I attached a small stainless steel chain to my false bottom and drape the loose end over the side of the kettle during mash. Then after I pull my bag out and let it drain, I pull out the false bottom using the chain. I use the chain so I don't have to stick my hand into the hot wort.

    The $129 simple non AC glycol chiller

    Curious what you're using for a pump. Are you using a submersible pump inside the freezer? Do you have to worry about the below freezing operating environment for the pump? Also what are you using for the lines to your fermenter? Cheers and thanks for the write-up. I'll be doing something very...
