Hi y'all, So i've made it a habit to put the water into my mash tun before adding grain, sometimes i need to cool it down with a little tap water. My question is in that little adjustment phase (~5 min) am i denaturing the enzymes? I've not noticed an issue with conversion, but am...

Hi everyone, i have a full nitro setup (tap, regulator, tank) but have recently become gunshy on brewing anything that would require me to do more nitro. That being said, i love nitro beers and want to do a nitro pale ale as well as a nice stout. The problem i'e been having: All the...

Hey Y'all! I've recently migrated my brewery to Natural gas and wanted to figure out if it's possible to run one of those fancy Honeywell pilot light systems on it. I run 2 batches at a time, and i'd like the pilot lights to light either/both of the burners. What do i need to...

So i've got my panel all set up, thermocouples all wired and plugged in, PID is set to accept a k type thermo couples, but the readings dont make any sense, nor do they change... no idea what is going on or where to start trying to troubleshoot.... I'm thinking maybe the connections are...

Hey y'all, I'm working with an app/web developer to produce a portal and app for Fermtroller to control and program fermentation cycles using the opentroller platform. For those of you who would like to get in on it, what features/functionality would you like to see?

Hey y'all! Was wondering if anyone does a dual immersion and counter flow system. I'm considering the option and would like to see some data.

Hi guys, I'm putting up my walls in my brew shed and wanted to find out what others who brew on gas indoors have done with the back wall and how to deal with the heat issues involved. I promise pictures as i move on with this project.

Hi guys, I'm putting together a new brew shed and was considering running a C02 line through/in the wall to have a main tank available to my fermenters/kegs and to a lagering/carbing freezer. Has anyone done this or have any opinions or ideas on how to do this? Thanks!

Brand new out of the box. Holds 11 kegs. ZOMG! Building the Freezer extension: Building steel frame for cart body: Had to mount the frezer backwards due to a miscalculation on where the holes went on the lid. Building the lid: underlayment was cut using a shopbot Existing lid...

Hey there norcal/bay area brewers! I wanted to see if y'all knew where I could find an affordable place to buy some sheet stainless steel for a brew shed heat shield. Also, any recommendations on who to go with to do a prefab shed, i'm looking to do a gambrel with loft storage. Many...

Interesting that this is submarked under electric brewing, couldn't one also automate gas burners? just a thought.

Hi Y'all, So i went to COSTCO last Monday and picked up 20 gallons of their branded juice, didn't take an OG reading, and mixed up 10 gallons of Apfelwein with 4lb corn sugar and 4 rehydrated packs of red star montrachet, 10 gallons of cider with 2 vials of WLP001. 4 total carboys. It has...

I have this thermocouple. and this PID controller my question is, can i stick any old wire (thinking CAT-5 cable) in between the PID and the contacts to extend the range of the PIDs (its for a control panel setup. I've seen lots of talk, but no straight answers. Any help would...

So I've been looking to make some hard cider, and i was wondering, where the heck are you getting the apple juice from? I live in Silicon Valley in California. Can anyone point me to a good resource for bulk quantities of apple juice locally? Thanks all! MOOMOO

Hi all, i'm in the planning stages of a Brutus10 (non automated) style setup and was looking at ignition ideas, and feel like a primer on what people are talking about... What i was looking for is a way to use a spark or pilot light to keep 2 11" banjo lit. my current method is a sweating...

Hi all, Brewed programmers elbow esb out of the brewing classic styles book, but it tastes very thin and watery, with a bit of sour tinge, brew day went well, but had to switch out the hops with Fuggles. OG was fine, FG was a bit low but not too crazy. im stumped, any ideas? MooMoo
