Speidel Fermenter Thermowell with Grommet

Good but could be great 05/28/2024

Purchased this awesome product after having to mickey mouse my Speidel fermenter to fit inside my chest freezer with a bubbler. Works great but my only complaint is the silicone o-ring bunches you tighten the thermowell to speidel cap, the silicone o-ring pinches and doesn't seal correctly so I had to gently finger it and guide it while tightening it. If the thermowell had a grove cut into and used a fitted o-ring to seat it correctly like on a butterfly valve, this would be perfect.

I continue to be impressed with every product I get from NorCal Brewing. This thing fit perfectly with the included gasket zero leaks. The thermowell sits exactly where it needs to. Really great quality highly recommended.

I now have three of these and really like them. They replaced regular rubber stoppers that I drilled an extra hole in to accommodate both a thermowell and airlock. Those worked well enough, but these are a nicer solution. There are two cons as far as I can tell.

1. All three of mine were a bit large in diameter, meaning that once you put on the gasket seal it was a tight fit to get the "locking" ring on and it would often pull the gasket off and you would have to try again. I ground mine down a little bit and that solved the problem.

2. As far as I know the "locking" rings are not available as a separate item and you need to purchase a complete spigot assembly just to get the ring.

I would give these five stars if it were not for those two issues.

Fits perfect. Great for careful management of fermentation temperature. A well made, high quality upgrade. Buy well and buy once - this is a keeper.

nice way to expand things 11/06/2017

other then needing to have additional rings going from the big air lock and plastic valve to a metal valve with the curved dip tube, and the temp probe - with the more normal air lock hole - its nice so far. Does not take too much more space then the primary fermenter buckets.... moving 30 gallons is a bit more of a challenge - just use a hand truck

Well made, thermowell ID large enough to fit most temp probes - no issue with a STC-1000. You'll need an extra cap if you are going to keep the spigot attached - something I over looked. Kind of a pain... Maybe Norcal can add it as an option.

Kick ass upgrade! 07/18/2017
