I'm eyeballing spikes solo kit with conical fermenter. I'm one of those people when they are set on doing something they go all out overboard. Do it right once. Well tons of ways to do it right but spend the extra money first. Or to some including myself. Waste money first lol!
I'm eyeballing the 15g spikes solo system. I've read the basket is hit or miss or actually bags are better. So instead of buying the solo system I'm thinking about building it without the basket it comes with. No hoist in my garage. Lol and doing arborfab mash basket for it. My idea would be to use that and similar to the solo system just have the silicone tube filling on top of that stainless mesh basket for entire mash and then pull it let it drain maybe filter over the top as it drains for further clarity if needed. Any ideas or direction would be great. I'm in no rush to purchase it. I want to make sure I have it all planned out first. I'm getting into this because I just finished my keezer build which will have local beers on draft but the idea to brew and keg my own instead of bottling cases of 22oz bottles really got my interest lol!
Ps. I'm glad I found this forum/community. I've read way to much the last few weeks!
