Hi folks, I've been posting a few threads here and there picking up tips, but thought I'd start to put a thread together on what I'm trying to do... In essence, I'm trying to build a very tiny, but very flexible brew system, to help me experiment with all kinds of approaches and techniques -...

In designing my little brew project, I've got a few places in the pipework, where there's effectively an alternate way junction (an input from the top, gravity fed, and then the output being either right or left - or right or down, depending on orientation of piping). The obvious answer is a...

Hi folks, Just looking for a quick sanity check. I'm planning on building a system which has (to start with) two 3kw heating elements (HLT and BK - they're only little). Being in the UK, that means 12.5A per element, so 240V/12.5A to switch. I'm also planning on using a Raspberry Pi as the core...

Hello! I'm designing a tiny 3V system (about 5-7.5l batches) and am looking at pumps and piping. At the moment I'm thinking that a fairly small pump (something like a Topsflo TS5, or a similar non-branded equiv) would do (about 12l/min), combined with 12mm (OD) piping/valves, etc. By my...

Hi folks, I'm planning on experimenting with doing some very small batch brewing, and I wondered if there is a theoretical minimum volume beyond which brewing simply... won't work. As far as I can tell, as long as things are proportionally correct (water to grain to sugars, sugars to yeast...

Hi folks, first post here, still learning and gaining understanding of various things... So in learning about the difference between RIMS and HERMS I read this: RIMS vs HERMS | Which Brewing System Should You Pick? - which seems sensible. Except there's one bit there which doesn't match my...
