Very nice bit of shiny shiny. Anything for small space flat living that the the missus isn't going to freak out about it being an eyesore is good! Looking forward to part 2.

i have got one of these as a secondry fermenter and i have added a short peice of syphoning hose to the end of the racking arm just to extend it a tadge and waste will be down to a minimum good imformative video and lid gasket fitting is now simple thanks.

Cracking bit of kit, I really was hovering over the buy button with my latest order at the MM! Cheers, can't wait for part 2

Wow you got one they are hard to get, always back ordered, nice job! Ok i think you missed a couple of great points on your fermenter's cool factor. One when you turn the dip tube to a 45 degree down angle you put the dip tube in the middle of the yeast cake, for a pure yeast cropping. Secondly if you put the dip tube to the 90 down position you can purge off the yeast cake to allow for a clean secondary fermentation without yeast lysis or having to rack over to secondary, cool huh?

Very very nice bit of gear there. Hope that dodgy no chill brew you did from my recommendation does it justice! Cheers Grant thanks for taking the time and effort to put up this vid.

Fantastic-looking piece of equipment--seems really sturdy! You're right--that should last you a lifetime! Cheers!

This is the real business the same type of stainless steel for a motorbike exhaust would cost three times the amount so good value. Must start saving but already spent a fortune so it's a later buy. Great review.

whats up brother? Great video by the way. I have the ss brewtech mini 3.5 gallon brew bucket. I've been brewing 2.5 gallon batches, but i'm looking to upgrading to 5 gallons. With the 3.5 mini i have to top off to 3 gallons (because of the cone bottom) in order to get the 2.5 gallons. Is it the same concept for 5 gallons? Will i have to top out to 5 in a half gallons, in order to get 5 gallons?

Great review. I've seen this on Google and see you can buy them in NZ for around 150 pounds. There's also a local company developing one, which I'll keep an eye on. My heart says I need one now. Haha. My head says where are you going to put it to keep it cool in the summer. Maybe once I have a fridge organised, I'll try butter up Mrs Dino. In the meantime I'll be looking forward to seeing you use it. Cheers mate

Top review. With regard to cleaning, in the UK TSP is known as Sugar Soap - you can get it from Screwfix etc for about £1.50. Impressive work with the gasket also. I've just got myself one of the SS conicals and can confirm that fitting that thing is an absolute

[mosswoodhomebrew]

Great video. Hmmmm, that looks like a nice bit of kit!

[jneill]

Nice video, mate.  I've been eyeing this up, and for the price of admission, it seems pretty good.  Your video seals the deal for me!  Thanks for putting it together and especially for covering the gasket in detail.

Cheers!

[frankshomebrew]

Once again a really good and thorough review. Keep up the good work mate. The videos are great.

[bubberification]

Very jealous! Should be handy when it comes to yeast harvesting. Cheers

[jasonkinder]

thanks for the review Im going to be getting one soon can't beat the value!

[robfry]

Great review! Cheers mate - I am worried it wont fit into my undercounter fridge but looks like you have plenty of room in yours. I may just have to go for it and find out...

[njuham]

Very nice kit and informative and clear review.

[roryscarlett]

Great review. I tend to do 25 liter batches. I'm a little concerned there wouldn't be enough space between the wort and the lid, and that the foam from fermentation would end up coming out of the airlock. What do you think? Would it be best to use on 23L batches?

[GranulatedStuff]

I made the mistake of using a thermonuclear device to clean mine..left the inside surface somewhat pitted !

[Neill_Clements]

Liked the vid, thanks. I've just picked up the ss 10gallon brew kettle. On the passivation side of things did you use starsan or the nbs no rinse cleaner as that's what i have bottle of. I know it's similar, just wondering if it would do the same job?
