sp5der - QUALITY US DOMESTIC

Received some very kind words from Pench on his thread and in dm, means so much coming from someone with that level of not only experience, work ethic, knowledge, time in the game but also reputation, too. Can only aspire and strive to be there one day.

He also made an amazing offer to me, which I am truly appreciative of. Super selfless and very generous of him. You don’t see that often, in any area of life, especially not this one.

Not that this would be any surprise to anyone about Pench and his character.
Thats awesome! There are only a small handful of brewers i trust, and you both are in that club. There are others, but you guys are truly going for it. Many thanks!!!

He is one of the good ones. You both are very easy to work with. Maintain your integrity, transparency, and pride in your products and you’ll put yourself on that level too.
 
Whats good said improvments was coming, and seems they have touched down like Zeke back in '16

A few more weeks until my guy can get them to me, we both got other priorities right now. Maybe a month or a little longer until fully implemented ill update as i decide.

This is what you can expect:

Class B autoclave, Biosilicone tubing, digital peristaltic pump, Polycap 36TF capsule filters 0.2um, flow hood obviously

Still gonna keep using presterile sealed vials. not gonna fuck with autoclaving stoppers and vials, big waste of time when the goal of this is to buy myself time rather than close up shop. We'll see how it goes.

I really really want to, as my goal, offer 12mL vials at same price. we'll see after i run calcs because everything always costs more and makes less than anticipated when all is said and done, but this prices with the time savings look really good even accounting for losses and risk using up more raw for less product.
Just a little fyi I'm pretty sure biosilicone tube are not ok for whet you do :)

Need to look into PTFE coated tubing or other kind of tubes made specifically for working with chemicals and solvents.

I have a list somewhere if you can't find it.

Check Masterflex innovapure tygon brands.
They have chemical charts and you can find the proper tube following the charts.

Will be sourcing this or something equivalent.

$2400 for 100 meters wow. Innovafluor looks to be the best, though. Gore’s tubing is ePTFE reinforced silicone so not the same as coated and likely not as good for this specific use case.

There are less expensive option if you want. Let me grab it for you, give me a minute
 
@sp5der

- Chem durance bio
- versilon 2001
- gore sta pure
- innovaprene G
- innovaprene P
- innovafluor K
- innovafluor PTFE

Innovaprene G/P is a good alternative and both a lot cheaper.

Version 2001 is excellent and should be cheaper.

Anyway any of those written above are ok. So find the cheapest and buy thst one. No need to buy the most expensive especially because the time the liquid stay in contact with the tubes is limited.

Thank you. Very helpful.
 
appreciate that. yeah I know I can request smaller lengths too. Don’t need 100 meters.
15 meters should be plenty for a while. You dont need long connection and you can reuse the tubes, no need to sterilize them either, just clean and sanitize them f you make a loop where the capsule filter is the last thing before the bottle.

Pump with needle attachment?
I never thought of that..

That is an option indeed but then you need all sterile tubing all the time and the issue is it's not easy to find fittings on the head pump that can be autoclaved, plus you everytime you stop it to go to the next vial it easily leak oil. As he decrimp anyway for recapping, using a bottle dispenser and lifting stoppers is quicker and probably easier
 
For all your tubing that doesn’t need to be flexible, just get a set of tubing benders and use 316ss tubing and swagelok fittings. You can take it apart and auroclave it. Everything in food / pharmaceutical / cosmetic factories I’ve worked in is all 316ss pipe and tubing.
 
What kind of offer did you get from pench? Are we talking a pench/sp5der collab? Would probably become the biggest and most trusted US domestic source on this forum….. and it would happen fast! Although there may be some disagreements in your lack of labeling. Pench prides himself on his labels lol

I was hoping it meant some additional compounds being sourced for sp5der.
