Digging this series and glad I found it. For temp control, I use a glass carboy inside of a filled10G Igloo tank with an aquarium heater and a small fountain pump to keep the water moving. I normally can maintain temp within a degree easily for less than $20
I love this idea! How do you keep the beer covered from any light?
@@HopKillerBrewery Just put a towel over the top with a small hole for just the neck and airlock to stick through. Carboy is under the top of the cylindrical Igloo cooler. This way I can take gravity readings, dry hop, etc. without ever changing the temp or disturbing the carboy at all
Looking forward to that video on the Unitank 👍
It’s coming somewhat soon!
great overview of the cold side process! Love my Ss Brewtech Brewbucket - only issue I have with it is the lack of volume markings - only goes in 5L marks. Wish it could be pressurised also. My other fermenter is a 30L keg. Cheers
Yeah I got myself a spike conical fermenter. It's 👍 cheers 🍻
Nice, I’ve been wanting to try theirs compared to the SS but haven’t pulled the trigger on it! Might just end up with another SS unitank if I am to get another.
Spike conical has a 2" TC bottom dump and the ss brewtech doesn't :)
@@leroygross9144 haven’t had an issue with 1.5” at home or on a Nano scale 3bbl tanks!
Great overview. The only thing I would add is using sankey kegs as fermenters. Love my standup freezer/inkbird 308/heat pad/Sankey keg configuration for 13 gallon batches. The ball lock fitting adapters and floating dip tubes they have out there nowadays make it so much easier to ferment in sankeys under pressure and oxygen free. No more orange carboy caps and racking canes.
Are they the Sabco ones with welded TC fittings? Sanke’s are a great option for sure.
@@HopKillerBrewery nope. plain old regular ones. www.morebeer.com/products/ball-lock-adapter-tapping-head-sanke-kegs.html Morebeer starting selling this contraption for serving from sankeys with ball lock fittings. They would work as fermenters with a floating diptube and a screen as well. I use a similar set up with a 2" tee tri-clamp fitting on top of the keg, the side branch of the tee has the ball lock fitting from morebeer, and the top through run of the tee fitting has a 2" BFV. Use the BFV to dump purged dry hops into the fermenter without introducing oxygen. Use the floating dip tube to take gravity samples as needed with ball lock fittings, and when ready to rack, just connect jumper ball lock lines to your serving keg.
You’ve got a good setup and good videos that a lot of home brewers wanting to upspec could benefit from i reckon if you put in like a ss brewtech 10 gal setup as the headline you’d direct more people to your channel.
Not a lot of content on full setups on UA-cam well easy to find by joe blogs anyway 👍
Sounds good, I’ll do that!
Great work! How do you handle cold crashing and not sucking the blow off solution into the beer? The balloon thing is a pain in the ass.
The balloon thing is what I do when not using a unitank. I never had too much trouble with the ol’ balloon trick in the past.
Keep these videos coming brother, please!
They will continue shortly!
Duuuuuude! Where’d you get the hoodie?! Love the design! 😂😂😂😂
I replied to your email regarding the merch!
@@HopKillerBrewery yessir! Got it! Waiting for pay day 😂 designs look dope
i'm looking into an ss uni or spike conical when I have a little more room. I'm on over 2 years of brewing and still using my trusty bucket fermenters. Looking into an anvil stainless though for the time being. My problem is ferm temp control, don't have the space at the moment for it, utilizing a fridge that isn't used when my parents are gone
Nice 🍻🍻
Great video. Was surprised that none of the Fermzilla range products was mentioned as an option.
I have zero experience with those products but I could see them being an addition to this list for sure. As time goes on and I get to try more products I’ll make sure to reference them and link this video to those.
Good luck competing with all the rest of the videos-
I think I know this guy?!
FIRST
Great content btw
THANK YOU!
