Purchase is very sound. Loving my CF15. Super versatile as far as pressure ferments, carbing and even serving straight from the tank is you get a little lazy (yep, I’ve done it...). And the tri-clover fittings make it easy to breakdown and clean. It really does live up to the buy once, cry...

Congrats!! Absolutely love the build quality of mine. I have only done one pressure ferment so far, it was an IPA and did ferment quite quickly (4 days as opposed to the usual 7). Good on that note and there weren’t a whole lot of ester losses that I could perceive. Check out the BeerSmith...

Yeah, that’d hurt a bit... Mine drinks mine, so it was a win for her as well I guess.

Just do it :) They’re a great bit of kit!

STC controlled fridge has no issues holding temp in Nth QLD, or chilling down to 2 odd deg either. Pretty happy with the FB Marketplace for this pickup :) H.

@Meddo, Current configuration of the fridge. Not super happy with this layout, prefer the sight tube vertical, that requires me to have the valve above the tube with a blank on the bottom (good for yeast harvest, not so much for dumping trub in a controlled manner). Need to adjust the leg...

@Meddo, I’ll grab pics for you tomorrow. Still trialing different layouts, agree with your comment about the sight glass, would be great to have it vertical.

I went for the CF15, so no size issues there. Even after dry hopping, the dump valve makes for a pretty clean transfer. I have been averaging 45-46lt per batch to allow for trub and I still get s couple of bottles out of each batch. Cheers, H.

Would go the carb stone. Can also be used to oxygenate the wort prior to pitching. Wishing they had released it before I had mine shipped as the current cost for that is a bit prohibitive. Cheers, H.

Loving it! After a slow start due to other commitments and not brewing a whole lot, I’ve put about 8 brews through it so far. I’ve also started doing double batches as a norm thanks to the size. And now that the dearly beloved has started drinking beer too, it’s kind of a necessity. Welds are...

@Meddo, the unit itself is 430mm, with the valves extruding a further 80mm out from that. So from back to extremities is just over 500mm. Remember though, you will gain a few mm in the door thanks to the seal and if you take the shelves off. Mine sits in a Fisher & Paykel C450 single door...

I’ve got the CF15 with the additional ports and it fits nicely in my ferment fridge. Mind you, I did get the unit first then trawled gumtree & farcebook marketplace a fridge that would fit it. Internal dimensions of 50x50 gives ample space to fit yeast starters etc around the legs. Cheers, H.

I used Mike from InExpress Gawler (details below) to ship a unitank from the US recently. Really happy with the service and cost was pretty good too Michael Paine | Senior Freight Consultant Phone 1300 584 884 Mobile 0410 660 406 Email [email protected]

The rubber seal works a treat. Seats nicely and is easy to install/remove. The Spike crew even sent a spare for Justin. Not envisaging having to use it in the near future, but a nice gesture none the less. The clamp that holds the lid works. IMHO it looks like the bleed actuator clamp used on...

Ok, sorry for the delay. Was caught up Christmassing with the family... All pics are on the external of the unitank. The internals are all polished and sanitary. 4" TC modular top port 1.5" TC port 1.5" TC sample valve fitting Leg My thoughts so far: - Recommend getting your TC...

@seamad, the CF15 fits nicely in a STC1000 controlled fridge. Glycol chillers aren’t really an effective option in Nth Qld unfortunately, would be constantly running.

None at the moment, I’ll grab some over the next day or so and post back here.

Hey CJW, I used Mike to ship my CF15 out recently. Communication from him is fantastic. Price was better than I could arrange myself too (his contacts are heaps better than mine :) ). He also had contact fairly regularly with Ryan from Spike, so there were no surprises when the quote for freight...

Other options are: http://www.brewadelaide.com/ - He also does free delivery on Friday afternoons (area limits apply, check the website). http://www.carterbrewing.com.au/. I've used both of these guys, as well as BeerBelly, had no issues with any of them. The two linked are run from home and...

Give the passport office a call (131232), you might be able to pick it up from the office in Melbourne. We've had this done through work a few times. http://www.dfat.gov.au/melbourne/passport-services.html
