Homebrew Gear Review: Brew Bucket and FTSs

Brewing Essentials List:

[grumpysandwich]

Nice review thanks :) I love how your kitty is interested in the brew :D

[HeyFutureUs]

Was deciding how to plumb the piping through the cooler for our new FTSs, and your method looks simple and effective. No fittings necessary. Thanks!

[jameskocks]

finally thank you!!!! I own two brew buckets and I have been waiting for more reviews on the ftss

[jusdesireable]

Thanks for this vid, I just got this system so it was great to see how it works. Can't wait to get started.

[StoneCroucher]

Thanks for the video, very informative and has made my mind up on the brew bucket! Looks better than i thought it would be!

[ReviewBrew]

That is a brilliant idea to control temp. The Synapses in my brain are firing trying to figure out how I can build one of these out of an old soda keg.

I currently own a ss brewbucket and I’d like to upgrade it and connect it to my Grainfather glycol chiller, just need a few parts .
Great video

Ss Brewtech™ FTSs Heating & Chilling for Brew Bucket 27 l (7 gal) I was looking for a video in this kit but I don't find any your video is amazing for the Chilling part but for the heating I am not seeing none for these buckets. Hope to see one soon released about the kit I mention

[AxelMillar]

Hi! Nice video, verey informative. How much water do you put inside the cooler? Thanks!

When I saw your review of the FTSs I was so pumped, until I heard the audio. Dude, you really gotta get that fixed, I couldn't stand listening to it for 15 minutes and I'm probably not the only one.

I believe your thougts are too optimistic.
My own experience is i can keep temperatures of 18ºC, changing 4L of frozen bottles twice a day.
This is in peak fermentation, and with an ambient temperature of 24C.

If your ambient is lower ( you dont mention that) like say 20C i believe you can go lower.
But in the summer (when i need it the most) i cannot ferment a lager (go down to 10C during fermentation) .
I may try in the winter time, but i doubt i can change once a day

Just install your own coil in the brewbucket and use an aquarium chiller.

[xavierpacheco]

Seems like a great system. Unfortunately, I brew small batches (2.5-3 gal). Those coils don't seem to go low enough. I wonder if there would be a way to lower them.

[tedeshleman]

Do you like this more compared to the Speidel?

[jeremykaczor]

Is it possible to chill the wort post boil with this?

[jusdesireable]

Why all homebrewers seem to have cats lol

[canadianehbrewer]

Why not just use an old refrigerator with a johnson controller on it
