Some background first. I've built a motorized monster mill. That sucker milled malt like nobodies business. Once I finished it, I realized that I didn't very much care for it. I vented about in this thread, looking for a solution that fitted my needs better. The short story is, I don't need a...

...you just need to ~halve the specs :) Stumbled over this video on the tubes, and thought it was interesting. Nice to know the Foteks are semi-decently designed, just not quite up to specs. All the more reason to get the 40A versions and hope it really has a beefier TRIAC (and not...

Hi! There are a lot of options when it comes to malt mills. I myself own a monster mill three roller that I motorized with the motor from a cheap meat grinder. It works very well, so I really have no reason to complain. Except... Even though my setup would be considered 'compact' comparing...

Hi! I thought I'd give a short recap for new viewers. As most of us know, the STC-1000 is a cheap but very useful dual stage thermostat. The aim of the STC-1000+ project is to implement a firmware better suited for fermentation control and the means to update the controller firmware in a...

Hi! I'm very pleased to announce the inital release of my project for the last few weeks, STC-1000+. I have reverse engineered the STC-1000 and reprogrammed it with new firmware that is specifically made for beer fermentation. What that means is that I have added possibility to run temperature...

Ok, first off, I'm swedish *bork bork bork*, so excuse me if my wording is a bit strange. Also I don't really know standard pipe sizes in the US, but I think at least you'll know what I'm getting at and could adapt. Ok, so I'm doing 6-7 gallon (that is 23-27 liters approx) batches, I fly sparge...
