Hi again I brew 150 liters pr batch, and I had to adjust the fillers for every 150 - 200 bottles, which was very anoing... So i build this prototype, of stainless solenoids, schwitces, tubing and a Coca Cola plastic box. It's actually still doing a fine job...

Thanks for your comments. I was very close to dump the Siemens Logo, and get me something better. Then my PLC buddy came up with some tricks. It's now tested in water as RIMS, and it hit the SP +- 0.2C and that's fine. This weekend i brew my Trappist Style 8% ABV Christmas Beer, so...

Hi I need a PID controller with the abillity to adjust setpoint remotely, with a 4-20Ma current. (Industri standard) I've got a Siemens LOGO PLC and a lot of modules from a friend, but it can't PID. It's probably the smallest device that can be called a PLC. So I need the external PID...

Thanks for sharing your thoughts.. I'll stick to my 100 grams, at let you know by the end of march how i t tasted. I brewed a wit with fresh lemon grass, and used 3 sticks in a batch (10 min. boil). The first 2 - 3 months it's very nice, but then the lemon really starts to kick in, and after 6...

Hi I'm about to brew a batch of Saison, and i wan't to add a small amount of sea-buckthorn. I just don't have any idea how much. I just want a hint of the berry in the final beer. I brew 150 liters and i want to add it in the kettel the last 10 minutes of the boil. I'm planning for 100g for...
