Great for infusion 07/12/2024
By Brian Helsley
I received it within 3 days and was upgraded to the set with the tri clamp included. No leaks and works great with the 1/2 gallon mason jars.
Thanks NorCal

Works, except for the leak. 05/29/2024

The gasket is not large enough or perhaps is the wrong material and thus it leaks around the jar lid after about 2-3 gallons of water are added to my conical. Other than that it fits the equipment perfectly, just need to work on the leak part.
Our responseHello again James - You may not have seen my prior response, so here it is again: Standard canning jars come with lid bands that are sometimes not deep enough to reach down far enough into the grooves of the canning jar. The bands are also not made of stainless steel. This is why we offer a custom lid band that IS made of stainless steel and is also elongated on the sides of the band to reach more jar grooves. Net result is that it provides a deeper, tighter seal for the "v" grooved gasket. SKU for this little gem is 2786. Cheers! Victor.

So I used this to convert my Anvil Crucible 7 gallon into a yeast harvester. Everything fits perfectly. The only problem is the gasket that goes around the edge of the product does not create a tight enough seal and leaks after about 3 gallons of water were put into the conical. I am trying to figure out how to adjust or what to add to make sure it does not leak.

Yeast Collection 11/17/2021

This handy little device worked perfectly to harvest yeast after a brew in a conical. Tried it with a recent brew (Lutra Pils) and the yeast cake settled right in the bottom of a 1/2 gallon mason jar. Exactly what I was looking for!!

It works 11/19/2018
By Travis Combel
It works as advertised when connected to the bottom of your fermentor. You'll have to work on your technique, but it does the trick. What you don't want to do is seal up the jar after you remove it: trapped CO2. And you don't want to close the dump valve and leave your jar on. Same issue, especially if it warms up.

This works well for harvesting yeast. As a home brewer, it was much more efficient to collect the yeast. I still had to wash the yeast, but it was an easier process.

What a wonderful addition to my conical. No better way to harvest yeast period.

Must have 06/28/2017
By Mike Sharp
This is without question the best $25 I've ever spent on homebrewing. I use this with my SS Brewtech Chronical. The first 16 ounce Ball jar removes all kettle trub, hops and cold break that make it into the fermenter. A second jar handles the remaining sediment from fermentation and even acts as a sight glass so I can observe active fermentation. 8 ounce jars then capture the creamiest purest yeast I have ever harvested. The yeast is cleaner than I've ever been able to get with washing.

If you harvest and wash yeast you must have this!
