Looks great and I really like the name.

Yes. http://www.morebeer4u.com

link? I'm not familiar with this site.

On that point, I went with the thinner 3/8" instead of the 1/2" because with a thinner tube you'd get better warming essentially more of the liquid is touching or near the surface (or that was my thinking). I never did the thermodynamic/heat transfer calculations on it though. LOL...

Check on ebay. There is a guy that sells a SS coil there all the time. I got mine for around $60-80 or so, 50' 3/8" coil. Edited: I just a did a quick search for wort chiller and found this...

Right...I meant the individual data points (ie mash temp, etc.).

Where did you get this from? Nice work Justin. I'm using virtual channels to store these parameters, what are you using?

agreed man. like we don't already feel dumb because we can't understand this programming stuff.

Yes I saw the multiple duplicate tags issue, but figured I had to get it reading them first before I got to that one. If I understand the code correctly, it is specifying the line the tag is in. Not sure if I'm right, but if so, then you can handle duplicate tags by specifying the line it's in.

That's great. Yesterday I tried getting the code in the response to work, but was unsuccessful with it. Does your code look like the one posted in the Azeotech forum that I linked above?

That's in for version 2.0. Lol

I decided on DAQFactory because I needed a software package that allowed me to scale my system as I needed. I needed to control over a dozen valves, pumps, and spark ignition units. I needed to monitor temperature probes, flow meters and level transmitters, as well as, logging/trend values...

Hey fellas. I'm certainly glad I'm not alone using labjack for automating my brewery. For a while there I thought I had taken on way more than I could chew with my vision for my brewery, inspired by some of the equipment here at work (biotechnology company). Not being a welder, machinist...

Geez that's a lot of I/Os. My original design called for 25 but I cut it to 20 to accompdate that 20 in the labjack. Once I get it going, if the other five are needed I can always get another labjack and add more. For some reason, that model number sounds familiar, the PPC 153. I'm pretty...

I'm not sure what language it is called as I'm not a trained programmer, but it's somewhat intuitive. I'm using samples from the manual and some trial and error to get the automation done. I'm using a USB DAQ device called LabJack and for the the automation I'm using DAQFactory. In terms of the...

I'll post some newer pictures on a new thread once I get them uploaded to my web space. Yes, the pumps...I forgot about those being poly-whatever they are. I bought those early on when there was a budget. ;) Come to think of it, the flowmeters are also made of the same poly-don'tknow...

Here are some pictures of the skid itself. Here is an older pic of the brewing skid and touchscreen panel. Here is a better one of the touchscreen panel and part of the electrical panel below.

Here are some pictures from my brewing skid control panel. These are screenshots of the actual touch screen panel. I'm in the final stages of programming, testing with the next phase being a full validation via a nice brown ale or pilsner. A little on the HERMS brewing skid, the entire...

I don't claim to be an expert on this, but personally I went with the conicals for two reasons. 1. the cone shaped bottom with the two tiered valves allows me to transfer the fermenter's liquid content without also transferring the solid that builds up from the fermentation process. 2...
