So happy to be selling these in Australia! Love the new X3 tanks. Thanks for the video Cory! Top work!

Great features!!!

This is what we know about the new Spike Premium Conical Fermenter, ▪ Fully-Jacketed (cylinder and cone) ▪ Welded Lid (no more goofy full-lid clamp/gasket) ▪ Splayed Legs ▪ 25% - 50% More Expensive than CF-Series Comparing these Spike features to the new BrewBuilt X3-series, ▪ Partially-Jacketed (cylinder only) ▪ Welded Lid (no more goofy full-lid clamp/gasket) ☑ ▪ Splayed Legs ☑ ▪ $100 More Expensive than X2-Series 👍 I'm very impressed with the BrewBuilt X3-series 8" TC main lid port and 2" TC horizontal cone port to accept a heater element. Both critical Brewtools F-series Unitank features. And BrewBuilt may have set a new industry standard with a 3" TC dump port / valve. Holy cow! I would've preferred a dedicated racking port in addition to at least three 1.5" TC horizontal cone ports. Horizontal cone ports are needed for a density sensor, stirrer, thermometer, sample valve, carbonation stone, ... Overall, this is a great offering. Congratulations, BrewBuilt!

Great looking unit and gives Spike a run for their money. Where's the best place to get these in Canada? Is there a distributor or can we go direct?

The Spike CF-series with the goofy full-lid clamp/gasket and cooling coil? This blows the Spike CF-series out of the water. Now, the new Spike Premium Fully-Jacketed (cylinder and cone) Conical Fermenter? That's TBD. More importantly, I'd say the BrewBuilt X3-series gives *Brewtools* a run for their money (literally) with the F-series starting at $1,849. The X3-series incorporates key F-series features like the 8" TC main lid port and 2" TC horizontal cone port to accept a heater element. And a 3" TC dump port / valve? Wow!

I need on please

Will Kegland be selling these? They arent on their website yet which I find surprising.

​@@BrewBuilt_ why no international shipping, and why no X3 in EU availible.

Any idea about availability in Europe?

It will be available in Europe, hope to have an official release date soon.

That pickup ball and filter is the number one grief with these home brewing tricones and fermzillas and whatnots.. the filter floats better than the bloody ball.. the cage needs to become stainless for some weight and the filter inside it loosely fitter as a replacement item and whats connecting to the hose.. a bit of "length" between the pickup and the floaty as well.. Its ridicolous that this expensive unit comes with that flaky pickup.. Me hacking it with stainless washers and stir bars should not be the goto...

I'd like to have the ability to do both 5 and 10 gallon batches using the same fermenter. Is the 14 gallon X3 Jacketed able to do I have to get one fermenter for each sized batch?

I have a fermzilla 55l, which is basically volume the same as their 14gal and I had no problem doing my first brew in it at 5gal. I feel like you may run into some issues with temp control if your cooler is sub freezing temps. Maybe, I'm just guessing and I'm brand new to the craft myself. The ports on the front look like they'd be viable in a smaller batch as they arent too high up the walls. I'd reach out to brewtech directly though before I dropped 1200+

@@richardcagle5475 yea my problem is the cooling. My CF10 for example specifies it can support a minimum batch of 5 gallons with a maximum of 10 and has had no issues chilling batches that small because the coil for the chiller sits down to the ~3 gallon mark or so. The jacket on this stops right at the top of the cone and there's no mention of the actual range of batches the fermenter can actually support. If the fermenter can support a range of batch sizes, I would hope there would be some documentation on that somewhere.

​@travisbeagle5691 if your chiller liquid is above freezing I can't imagine it would be an issue. Can't seem to easily find specific sheets for each size, but im sure they can help if you send them an email. I'm eyeing these fancy conicals for next year probably as I just dropped 3k building what I've got and thats my bullshit spending money for the year. Maybe 😂 Whenever I eventually get one being able to use a 14gal to make as little as 5gal batches will probably be high on my list of desirable traits

@@richardcagle5475 I would hope, but if only a tiny bit of the jacket contacts the wort/beer at best, there's going to be issues keeping temp.

@@travisbeagle5691 By the looks of it, there's about 2 gallons in the dome, 4-5 gallons in the cone and 7-8 in the straight section. So 7 gallons would reach up to the "Brewbuilt" logo. You might have to use 10% more malt and hops to ensure you are getting proper cooling jacket contact, but you have the benefit of heat rising, so that's the most crucial part to cool. If I were a betting man I'd say a 7 gallon batch is safe just by eyeballing it. But not exactly 5.

Europe ?
