Second run with my new RIMS system tomorrow. The first attempt I milked too fine and stuck the mash scorching the wort Brewing a “white IPA” which is basically my version of a hazy before hazy was a thing.

I'm in! Thanks!!

About to finish my cold room... A conical is the perfect thing to put in first!!

My homebrew setup is smaller than yours (Half BBL) but I use the BCS, one 12v pump, 12v water heater, and 4 12v ball valves to cool three fermenters. Works great and the parts (window AC, cooler, valves + pump) was pretty inexpensive considering alternatives. In fact - I live in CA and am...

Thanks BrunDog! Very helpful, I appreciate it. FLOW RATE?!?!?!!? That sounds like a wonderful addition - tell me more! 1) I'm guessing that my flame sensor is not 0 - 3.5v since it's tied to a DIN right now and doesn't register. Any recommendation on a sensor? The HVAC world isn't very great...

I have yes. There isn't any info on using a flame sensor, no process example for mashing and definitely no suggestions for water filters :-) Looking closer at the Ladder Logic examples now but would love to hear others thoughts on a flame sensor and see some process examples for mashing...

Hey guys, I'm finishing up my "mostly" automated rig and looking for a bit of your expertise. I'm sure these topics are out there - if you have a link please post it :mug: Four questions at this point: 1) Is there a way to get the BCS to interpret a flame sensor signal? I have my...

Great, thanks for the advice! I'll stop shopping for a carbon filter on Amazon right now!

Awesome, thank you. I've been brewing with distilled water and building up the appropriate profile. I'm most curious about "what else" might be in my water. I guess the taste test is most important.

I'm not sure if this is the best place to post this but... I'm finishing up an automated brewstand w/ BCS 460, two 220v coils for the mash and an automated burner for the boil. For simplicity and space I want to use two pots (MLT, BK) and simply heat my sparge water as it comes in. My...
