Yes, the BT 3-way valves are cheap Chinese jobs. You can get them on AliExpress, if you’re interested. My Blichmann G2 Linear Flow Valves don’t collect any gunk, especially after I run my BM CIP protocol. If you want to drain a BM completely, for cleaning/rinsing, use a dip tube:

It was all I could afford on their website
I did change to slightly bigger o-rings, but perfect fit to be honest. Needs lube or else tends to get stuck.

Excellent...I think I'll buy into the BT culture and get one

Still haven't manned up and cut a hole in the side of my BM to fit the whirlpool fitting that I bought!!
Re: The BrewTools Fanboy Thread
I've actually drilled two holes in mine. One (the lower one you've probably seen) for half batches and a higher one for full batches. I'll update next brew.

Re: The BrewTools Fanboy Thread
No thanks, I’m far too busy to be wasting my valuable time and money cleaning and sanitising all those ports. As I said already, it’s extremism engineered for mid-life crises.

Very cyber punk, but every joint is a potential source of contamination and leaks.

I think they have no choice but to make their own beer in Scandinavian countries because their duties on alcohol are just crazy. I believe Norway has the highest rate of excise for beer of all of them.
Re: The BrewTools Fanboy Thread
And I bet it costs a small fortune to close all those ports with compulsory accessories. What do you take me for?

I'd be a bit worried about dumping the entire fermenter out while using the dump valve!
Anyone want to make some bets on pricing for their F40 fermenter? I'm going to say £1300.
Ingredients: Water, Barley, Hops, Yeast, Seaweed, Blood, Sweat, The swim bladder of a sturgeon, My enemies tears, Scenes of mild peril, An otter's handbag and Riboflavin.
