Brewtools MiniUni+ Glycol Jacketed Goodness & Overview

In this one we are looking at the Brewtools MiniUni+. This may be one of the most compelling unitanks on the homebrew market. We'll talk all about pressure fermentation it's key features. As well as what I think of it.
I also show you how to initially set it up to run glycol.
I was sent the miniuni and all accessories for testing.

Looks like great quality as I'd expect from Brewtools!

[@twolittletanks]

Great review as always sir! Been waiting for this one to see what the miniuni+ actually offers. Thanks

[@ElementaryBrewingCo]

That’s a nice looking tank!!!

[@northernhomebrewing5855]

Great video, cheers! :)

[@blackwoodbrews]

Looks like another item on a wish list. Being in California glycol might be in my future. Since I lost my fermentation chamber/chest freezer back to wife needing more freezer space.

[@scottcarr9985]

Thank you for a great video/review. I am truly intrigued by this unit. And as for swearing my wife can do it better than you and me combined. I f.n. really like this uni!

[@GentleGiantFan]

That silicone diptube is pretty snazzy. Keeps you from having the valve way out in front of the fermenter.

[@kevin_bodi]

This combo of glycol and "cheapish" steel chamber is perfect. Especially for apartment brewers.

[@user-sq4tr6vm5d]

I have two spike flex pulse fermenters. They have been a huge upgrade, especially since I started experimenting with No Chill. But they are a pain to clean. I have been eye balling fermenters with a bottom drain, and I am very excited to see the miniuni line grow. The jacketed middle might be the perfect combination of feature / quality / price for me.

[@davidlujan8226]

Great video! Can u send me the link for the diaphragm valve please?

[@FermentationAdventures]

Nice video... brewtools seem dedicated to this platform. SS Brewtech has been including a "Keyed Racking Arm Gasket" which is an all Silicon dip tube/gasket with at least some of their fermenters for awhile. Theirs is rotatable since they use a special keyed butterfly with it. I never saw much on it since it's like buried in their user guides.

[@stestrupholm-dyrkjorden]

Still waiting for mine, but I'm excited. I passed on the miniuni for lack of good cooling solution, but this will be awesome I think! I look forward to making some smaller batches than on the F150.

[@jesuspaniaguadominguez3953]

Thanks for the video and review,

[@LagerThanLife]

It’s the purpose built, much sexier version of my ancient setup. I wish I had money to blow on art pieces.

[@bigernbladesmith]

I just got a glycol chiller. I'm really interested in picking one of these up. The price is hard to beat.

[@davidfoxton7905]

I was waiting for the suggestive comments many times during that 😂 but it never came. Then I was like oh it’s going to be in the outtakes…. But it never happened 😢😢😢

[@timheffernan3577]

I wish these had one extra port for a sample valve.

[@CrazyAboutVinylRecords]

The price for the Miniuni+ 30 looks great on paper...until you realize that to do anything really useful with it will set you back about another $600 or so in accessories. This is sort of the Brewtools way, and I say that as a happy owner of a B40 Pro. After adding everything needed to use this as a real unitank the total price tag comes to about $1,200. A Brewbuilt X2 Jacketed Conical Unitank would be a much less expensive option. One can always argue over quality but it seems fair to me to say that Brewtools is not giving you flagship quality on the Miniuni like they do on their other products.

[@goodolarchie]

I like that they appear to be selling the unit fairly barebones to keep the cost down. I already have tons of TC fittings including several dip tubes.

[@Nefariousrouge]

How easy are they to clean?
