Rp5brew..would you mind letting me know your PID settings for the Spyder? I'm also curious what all you're controlling with a 4024? Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

My delicious "kinda" red IPA

So I'm brewing again today. As soon as I started to boil after my FWH addition it started to go crazy. I sprayed it down with water and lowered the heat a bunch as one of you suggested and now it's perfect. Thanks so much guys. Hoping this mosaic IPA turns out good.

Heating up my water right now for an all mosaic IPA

Thanks for sharing everyone. It's good to know there are others out there. It seems like the majority of you have backgrounds in PLC. I'm straight Honeywell and Johnson DDC. I was planning on using a programmable Honeywell Spyder to control my fermentation chamber but ended up going basic as...

Awesome. I do some work in a hospital that has an old Allen Bradley system..too old for me to comprehend.

Does anybody on here do any automation for a living? I do it in the Commercial HVAC field and I love reading these threads. I'm just curious if anyone is using any commercial/Industrial applications on their homebrew setup.

Thanks guys. I'll try lowering the heat next week when I try my mosaic SMaSH.

I have a ball valve with a center pick up tube. I'm not saying it's better than anything else but I've yet to have an issue.

I've done a couple 2.5 gallon batches in a 5 gallon bucket that turned out okay. It seemed as though there was much less airlock activity than normal but I don't know if that's the reason why

I recently built a hop spider for my keggle and have used it twice. The first time was great but I only had one hop addition. Last Sunday I brewed an IPA and after my 30 minute addition I was battling a potential boil over the rest of the time. Did I do something wrong? Should you remove the hop...

No plans, just brewing..this time SWMBO wanted to participate

I'm so glad this thread was started as I was just thinking about this today while drinking a Palate Wrecker. Does mashing with pre hopped wort add bitterness or is it just aromatic? Sorry if this is an obvious answer..I'm just a beginner

So far so good.
