UPDATE!! So as mentioned above, I decided to go ahead and conduct my diacetyl despite my Oktoberfest already being near my terminal gravitiy. Over the next 3 days I raised the temp from 50 F to 62.5 F and let it sit there for another 2-3 days. To add to my continued surprise with this largely...

Wow, I had literally the exact same experience with my Oktoberfest and WLP838 that is still in the carboy right now. I did a multi stage starter, pitched the yeast and fermented at 50 F but saw VERY little activity from my blowoff tube. I did get a little foam (krausen) on top, but at the time...

Great point... after the cost of the pump and PVC it sort of negates a lot of the savings I would be gaining from the cost of chemicals. The reward then I guess lies in the instant gratification of potentially using less cleaner per session, convenience and ease of operation and the...

Hey raysmithtx, With your setup, how much water are using now? Do you see a significant savings in water/cleaning solution? I ask because using a plastic tub to accommodate the manifold looks much wider than some of the bucket solutions out there and as far as I understand the pump needs a...

Awesome, thanks for the response. Ill give some feedback once I get mine built and see if I run into any unexpected pressure issues with a larger pump

I think I may be missing something... On the manifold, you have 3 ports facing up, and 1 facing down. Whats the reason for the 1 facing downward? Thanks and great build, just ordered my pump yesterday! Which actually reminds me of another question, I went with the 1/3 hp Superior pump...

My apologies in advance if this is :off:, but would it be possible to run this same arduino setup and algorithm without the rasp pi but use an Electric Imp instead to send data back and forth via built in wifi. You may lose the sweet brew pi interface, but an Electric imp plus shield is far...
