He did too, it was really designed for a mash tun only.Mattias himself said similar
They wouldn't get any trouble from me if they stayed in the Keg Land thread, its when they set up the bogus accounts, so they can muddy the waters or promote in other threads.Dude, you just can’t help yourself, can you?... again with the unnecessary Kegland slagging... give it a rinse already.
Just because it looks like misleading or deceptive conduct to you personally, does not make it so at law. Any first-year student could tell you that.

I think we'd all be better off if you took some of your own advice and added something useful to the conversation instead of presenting your own narrow opinions as some sort of undeniable fact.Just pointing out that your overarching point of 'this thing doesn't work and is crap' was incorrect, simply due to you using the item incorrectly.
A useful addition to the conversation would have been 'it doesn't work with the way that I used it'. It does work well, it just has a few nuances like most equipment does. No need to throw the baby out with the bathwater
The point of this community is to share information and experiences to inform others, and hopefully help them make informed decisions like "is this thing definitely going to work or is there something I need to consider about the brew rig I put it in?".
Even when they do keep to their thread it seems they can't escape your incessant shit-slinging. Ironic too you're dragging their name through the dirt yet again in an also unrelated thread.They wouldn't get any trouble from me if they stayed in the Keg Land thread, its when they set up the bogus accounts, so they can muddy the waters or promote in other threads.
Its no wonder they have a picture of a monkey on their Brew Doctor pH meter.
Well my $12 Chinese pH meter has 3 point calibration and seems accurate compared to test strips.Cheaper pH meters only have single or double point calibration. For brewing we often operate over a large range right down to 2.5 for testing sanitiser solution and high up for alkiline cleaners. We also need the pH meter to be accurate at the mid range for brewing. As a result we have got triple point calibration.
Well I just pump Percarb through it by attaching the top arm to the bottom valve with silicone tube for a while.Are they easy to clean?
Not sure if you can just run solution through them or if you should pull it off and scrub each time.
How do these go with recirculating?
How does BIAB/whirfloc affect the recirc/draining to cube if at all?
Is a whirlpool still required or recommended with the helix?
Others have posted on here about recirculating through the ball valve, yes it works but make sure you vent the helix before starting the pump, whirfloc does not present any problems, I have discharged the wort with and without a whirlpool without any noticeable difference, I believe I may have put up a photo of a no whirpool drain. The hop matter will not block the helix, as I have mentioned in a couple of posts I believe it to be the hot break starting to coagulate as it cools which blocks the helix. No chill is fine.So I’m thinking about purchasing a helix, here’s my brew gear:
-40L crown urn concealed element
-BIAB
-recirc with ball valve
-whirfloc at 15min
-whirlpool
-no chill
The questions that I can’t seem to find an answer too:

Thanks all [emoji16][emoji482]
How do you go about venting? I assume that means removing the air from it?but make sure you vent the helix before starting the pump
Yes that's correct, surprising how the spring tension keeps air in.How do you go about venting? I assume that means removing the air from it?

Cheers for the explanations, cant wait to get one!Yes just turn on the tap and 'Let it bleed' Do it at the start and pour it back in and prior to taking pre boil gravity run about 2 or 3 litres through it, and tip back in otherwise you will be measuring the gravity of the contents of the helix. You will see the difference in the colour of the first drop which comes out, it will be very pale because it hasn't been involved with any recirculating.
