This. I did BIAB for a number of years and it took me a long time to come up with what would work best for me. In the end I built a 2 vessel RIMS due to space and only really having 30a at my disposal but i have access to heated filtered water. I wanted a lot of flexibility in my system and...

you should ask a mod to move this to "chillers & stir plates" there are a couple threads talking about similar things. this section is more about the hot side of electric brewing

I actually started right off the bat with kegging. My first couple of batches I kegged and then I used the keg to make it easier to bottle my first batch; it was uncarbonated but I pushed it with c02 so I didn't need a bottleing bucket. I feel the versatility of even just one keg (like I did...

yup after a year, a few boil overs and the such it still looks the same as when I finished it; and wipes clean which is crazy since its been hit with a scrub brush a couple times.

I ended up going with a marine tung oil for the butcher-block style top that I made for my stand. When I was doing research I wanted something that did well with prolonged heat, water and could be used on a variety of woods since I had both hard and soft woods in the mix. I contacted Waterlox...

BrewPi will show a bunch of devices by default even if there is nothing there. So a few pages back I was having the same issue and narrowed it down as best I could to the arduino board so I sent it back for a replacement. I got it yesterday and this morning I simply wired it in after loading...

I'm not using a RPi but moved over to my windows system and loaded a simple arduino program that looks for the serial id of 1wire devices (specifically DS18B20). In order to map your 1wire bus you need the 64bit serial id that was encoded on the device at its manufacture (this is really why...

yeah the bag I picked up all measure around 4.6k ohm, with the worst being at 4.60 and the best being 4.66. can 50 or so ohms throw off 1wire? Ive seen a bunch of documentation simply say ~5k ohm with then the schematic labeling the resistor as 4.7k so I figured this was within tolerance

once I switched over to mega ohms I was able to get 0.9 between the ground and the other 2. But I had found another way to sort of check the probes. On the DS18B20 schematics there is a diode between the ground and data, and the ground and 5v. A normally functioning diode will read between...

the packaging and the listing gave me black (g) red (5v) yellow (data) which made sense to me but I went ahead and tried different wiring combos, gave the arduino its own power supply, tested my resistors. now ive gone and done the same thing with a little program loaded on the arduino called...

so I've been at building my my brew pi for over a week now; I have managed to get everything but temp probes working. i have rebuilt and reinstalled Debian a dozen times and still no probes. Finally I pulled everything apart and found a simple arduino program to map out my onewire bus. It...

I just installed my 30a hookup in my garage the other day. I ran it through 1/2" conduit along the celing. I had a retired electrician help me and he basicly said the samething; we did everything right but he doesn't know exactly what the code is today. Go with the cheaper guy. Fist off it...

So I have a center inlet chugger pump and I just recently got all the parts in to convert it to 1.5" TC for my 2 vessel build. Part of the design puts a 3-way valve on the inlet of the pump, but now with all the TC parts on the valve with clamps and barbs it weight 3.25lb. Now I'm a little...

Thanks for this review, ive been very interested in this since I broke my good hydrometer. Now I just need some spare cash

hello and welcome. Being up in Gainesville you have a lot of breweries to choose from, with Swamp Head being my favorite. If you you like bike riding then First Magnitude is great since its right off the one trail up there. Down in Orlando things are growing; Orlando Brewing is nice and its...

check the link in my signature for cutting the round out. The rest I just cut off with more cuttings disks for the angle grinder and then a flap disk to grind down the rough edges.

i did this with my kegs

I just sent one too; I will see what they say

For the larger holes I started them with my largest hole saw and then free handed the rest with a dremel. But since you have punches you should be able to find something close. as for the top(front?) of my panel I had found some cheap 22mm and 16mm hole saws from china that worked great...

i scrounged these out of an old IBM server they weigh a lot but hey free is free... :mug:
