Short Circuited... great video as always. 2 questions: 1.) The handles look like they may be bolted in place. If so do they protrude into the inside? 2.) Any indication where these will be made? As of now, Blichmann's site conspicuously leaves off the "Made in USA" tab that some of their other products have.

The handles do not protrude. They are made in China like everyone else's. Don't believe the "propaganda" pretty much every conical is made in China.

Nice unit. Although, price prohibitive. Anvil/blichman makes quality product. But, may be price prohibitive to most home brewers. I do understand, engineering, material,labor make the price point. I've been in the engineering/build industry for 30+ yrs now. Although this unit seems over priced, I do understand the up front cost. Would I buy one? Maybe..at this price point I would definitely like to try one first. With all the new innovations on the market the " pressure capabilities " are really, no longer a selling point. Materials, ease of use, cleaning should be what the consumer looks at first and foremost. When you are done with it, send it my way...😉. I would sincerely like to try one. Great job Brian.

@boggers1212
@boggers1212 3 года назад
So the question everyone seems to ask, will the 14 gallon fermenator fit a 5 gallon batch? Specifically, will the thermometer, utility port and racking port all be below the liquid level? For an extra $100 USD, the versatility to brew 5 and 10 gallon batches with one fermentor would be nice.
@ShortCircuitedBrewers
@ShortCircuitedBrewers 3 года назад
I'd have to test it to be 100% sure. I "think" so. If you look at the photos the level gauge shows the thermometer right at the 5.5 level. If you did 6 gallon batches with the understanding after trub dump and yeast harvesting you'd be right at 5.5 gallons I think it's doable. 👍🍻 I do agree $100 is a good reason to go bigger for sure.

I am debating between buying the Blichmann G4, and Spike cf5. I like how the Blichmann has the built in prv, but hate that it only has one 1.5"tc on top. I like how the spike has multiple tc ports on top but you have to buy separate accessories. I would love to hear your thoughts between the two.
@ElusiveAppellation
@ElusiveAppellation 3 года назад
I'm having the same conundrum. Makes me wish Blichmann might do a revised lid like Spike did. Or that Blichmann would make a custom lid if we contacted them about one.
@ShortCircuitedBrewers
@ShortCircuitedBrewers 3 года назад
What are you wanting to do with the port? Or what would you do with an extra port? In either comical if the cooling kit is being used. The largest opening in being used. 1.5" TC ports are really finicky about being able to be used as a dry hop port. Hoops get stuck really easily from what I've seen in those situations. Just curious what your intentions would be with a 2nd port would be.
@kaylasadiva
@kaylasadiva 3 года назад
@@ShortCircuitedBrewers Honestly I liked spikes old lid with the 4" and the 1.5"tc. I know Blichmann has the prv, but I would like to be able to put the spike prv manifold on top of the Blichmann, and use the SS Brew tech spunding valve. I also might be over thinking it as I've never had the capabilities of pressure fermenting.

@@kaylasadiva you could still put the SS spunding valve on top of the Blichmann, even with the cooling coil. It has a 1.5" TC in the lid for it. It thing you might need would be an extension spool. But to each their own. That's the fun of having options! 👍🍻

All features look great. Blichmann always seems to be forward thinking. I won’t be buying this in the near term, if ever though. Blichmann is really late to the party on this. There have been many other offerings on the market for longer. For the record, I do have an older Fermenator converted to closed fermentation and temp control, as well as two newer SS conicals. Had This been available when I was in the market for one, I likely would have gone with it. I’m sure they will sell well.
