We'd wanted to walk you through the new CF10 Spike Conical before the release next Monday, July 10th. Let’s start at the bottom with the bottom yeast dump.
•
We chose to use a larger 2" bottom port to prevent the dreaded stuck dump (nobody likes a stuck dump right!?). Most commercial breweries can get away with a 1.5" bottom port because they have 100's of gallons of head pressure pushing down and out. On the smaller home brew scale we need a larger port to prevent trub, yeast and hops from clogging the port.
•
We also chose butterfly valves as they are the most sanitary option available. These are standard on all commercial breweries and there's no reason home brewers should have to settle for less. Ball valves, when opened and closed, trap liquid in the ball between the seats. This can harbor bacteria and cause infections.
