I would be looking at adapting this to use as a fermentor, and I would need the fittings either removed or changed to stainless. is that feasible?

I suspect you could use the tank for fermentation as long as there is no pressure build up inside the tank. To change the bulkhead fittings to stainless steel will add about $200 to the cost. Hope this helps- Randy

I have no experience with stainless models. The plastic model is working well for us.

You can not change it once it has fermented. Bread yeast is not a good choice to use.

It is possible, but might not make sense. The kit is set up for a more standard batch size. It would be harder to divide up all the ingredients from the way they are packaged. You could also order all of the brewing ingredients separately in different amounts. Different sized fermenter or brew kettle? It takes a few weeks to ferment and a couple weeks to condition if you

absolutely, I didn't use the other parts past the compression fitting either. Just be sure your new sanke kettle has a 1/2" fitting. Mine had 3/8" so had to get a new compression fitting to get it to screw into my kettle's built in threaded hole.

I would not alter the system itself because of the design when it looses suction. There isn't really a good way to add anything to what you are given here. Maybe with some customization to the case where the pumps are or something. Just saying it relies on the direct flow to and from the tank to work. Would be really nice if the designer could have added more features like a chiller though.

Yes tubing, cats and flanges are stainless. I had to dremel out the holes in the flanges to the manifolds as the flanges were to tight to fit on the three studs.

It would require a professional changeover. Different orifice configuration.

you probably need an adaptor which you can easily find in the neighborhoor hardware stores. I bought this but never used it because I did not like the quality and finish. did not go well with my tub faucet which is stainless steel.

Thank you, Richard. I apologize for this delayed response. Sorry, I don't know anything about the fittings; it was installed by a great handyman who occasionally visits our small town. All I know is that he spent about a half hour or less fitting it on, and the faucet works great. Never leaked. If I get more information, I'll let you know. The best to you! Maruta

Hello Douglas, This is a great kit but I don't think it will be what you want for type "an" fittings!

I really can't give you a solid answer, sorry. My distiller is still working great with no problems. I'm sure there must be a dealer or the manufacturer of this thing that has parts or at least a way to sent it in for service.

I'm sure you can do it. You just have to get the right fittings and flexible pipe. After you get the filter housing, take it to a plumbing supply house or even Home Depot and put together what you need.

I recommend the stainless version!!! cuz the rods are flexible, the water can go into the connections!

You bet, Christina. The fittings are truly outstanding on these hoses. Perhaps a bit of a loss in end-point water pressure but I think you will be fine as long as you have somewhat normal water pressure out of the spigot.

Still love the system. We changed the plastic adaptor with copper adaptors. I wouldn't recommend changing the tubing, it fits into the end and seals just so, but the other fittings you can make copper. Lowes helped us find the right fittings. We can taste the difference. Our water isn't really cleaned well here, it taste so much better and don't have to worry about our stomachs not racing well to the water anymore.

No. The kit can adapt to your recipes as long as you use one that has the same amount of gallons, pints, or quarts to fit in the containers and allow head room or fermentation.
