Great video as always. When I was looking to go stainless, jacketed conicals were my first choice, but there were few options. These vessels are impressive tanks, but they do carry an impressive price too. While I've already invested in the Spike ecosystem and quite happy, (1 Flex+ and 1 CF10), if I were to do it again, I still don't think I'd pay up to the Brewtools level. Gorgeous vessels tho.

how would you recommend to add and mix a sugar solution for bottle conditioning if the tank is pressurized.

I would suggest simply using pressure to carbonate instead, if possible. If not then its going to be much easier to use carbonation drops according to bottle size.

Should i get a € 1.775,00 F40 Unitank or a € 850,00 SS Brewtech Bright Beer Tank. In my GF CCT i'm not getting any clear beer. No matter how many times i dump my hops residue. Cold crashing it for 3 days, and then I use a Beergun for filling 0.5 cl bottle's with some priming sugar 7grams/Liter. I like the Jacketed cooling on the F40 and the optional 500 watt heating element. But im afraid that clearing the beer in this F40 for 3 weeks with some yeast residue would not be good for the end product.

Hello David, another great video. Thanks. A question, when you will share a video using this unitank with grainfather glycol chiller. Will be great if you could explain in how we could connect both systems and how to use them together. A last question :) I have a grainfather G70, my batches are usually between 50-65 liters. Do you think that the unitank F80 is good enough, or I could go for the F140. My point is, the F80 is ideal for20-75l bathes and the F150 for 40-140l batches, since my batches are around 60 liters, both fermenters will work. If I decide for the bigger fermenter, then, in the future, If I increase my production, I just need to buy a kettle with higher capacity, since I already have the fermenter. Please, let me know if this make sense for you or I’m missing something here? Thanks a lot.
