So I've been wanting to get a new fermenter for a bit now and I had been using a big
mouth bubbler but decided to upgrade to
stainless steel so I got myself an SS
BrewTech Brew Bucket. I got the Brewmaster
Edition. So what the Brewmaster Edition
gets you is a included thermowell and
then an LCD digital thermometer to go
into that thermowell. Then I also
got the essentials kit which basically
gets you an elbow that goes on the top
cover and then a blow off tube that goes
along with that.
there's also 3/8 inch tubing to go
from the spigot at the bottom. So let's get this out of
the box here.
So as you can see here on
the front we got the pre-drilled hole
for the thermo well. We've got our tubing here
it's that 1/2 inch tubing and the 3/8 inch tubing
and then we got the rest of the
accessories in this piece of cardboard underneath the fermenter here
Here we've
got our spigot and the racking cane, uh pickup tube
our digital thermometer and then right
above that is the right angle blow-off
So I'm just gonna go right ahead
and install this thermo well so I just
insert it through the wall and into it's hole and then attach the nut on the outside
I'm just going to hand tighten that for now
and gotta clean everything before we're ready to use it
So here's a look on the inside here
let's see, we've got our volume markings
down the side there and both liters and
gallons
that looks pretty nice. There's our
thermo well right there and we can see
down in the bottom got where the racking
arm will come up.
So in the cover we've
got a pre-drilled hole for an airlock.
Now because I went with the essentials
kit, I got this handy dandy right angle
bulkhead fitting that's gonna go there
and give me a half inch tubing for a
blow-off, but there's also a rubber stopper
to use a regular airlock and we've got
the digital thermometer. It did include
batteries which is nice. So I'm just gonna go
ahead and fit the thermometer into the thermo well on the side
just see how that looks
It pretty much just slides in thermo well
then we've got a nice pretty sleek look
right there.
so here it is all set up
with the thermo well and the front
spigot with the pickup tube, inserted on
the inside. So overall really sleek and
can't wait to try this out on the next brew.
I will definitely make a video of that and show
you how it goes
