Next! The lid and clamp!
•
We chose to us a band clamp because of the higher pressure capability (hint hint) and ease of install. The band clamp locks the bottom hopper and lid together tightly using a Silicone gasket to make an air tight seal. This gasket firmly locks onto the lid and will not fall out when turned upside down when installed onto the hopper (what a novel idea!). The lid also easily removes for easy cleaning. This is a much easier to clean design compared to a welded head design. Easily reach into the tank to clean any hard to reach areas so infections are avoided. •
The lid features a massive 4” tri-clamp and a standard 1.5” tri-clamp. The 4” TC will come with a cap and be used for filling the conical, hop additions and mounting our temp control coil. We will be selling many additional accessories but the piece de resistance will be the temp control coil that will easily slip down through the 4” TC and firmly attach to the lid. This can be used with the many off the shelf and DIY temp control systems currently on the market. Eventually this will attach directly to our temp control system when it is available later this year.

The 1.5” TC will come standard with a 90° elbow for use with a blow off tube. We will also be releasing accessories like a blow off cane, pressure transfer hookup, CIP ball, etc. that can all be used with this port. The modular design of our conical lid will also allow you to dream up different setups that allow you to ferment using completely one-of-a-kind methods that will set your beer apart from everyone else out there!
