Hello All, Just wanted to share my apartment based all grain system. This is basically a recirculation eBIAB sytem powered by 2000W 120V element. Having only one vessel and one control panel to move around makes brewing a breeze when space is confined. Although efficiency is rather low...

Hello, I've read many threads and think I've got things understood but would like to confirm before I start putting things together... I'm planning on a simple electric brew-in-a-bag recirculation system which I can easily use in my apartment. Here's some info on the system: -2000W...

Hey everyone, So here's the story, my gf began taking interest in my brewing. She loves to brew but is not fond of the taste of beer in general. I'm looking for something that she'll enjoy drinking as much as she enjoys making. I was thinking of a recipe somewhat floral/fruity/spicy. She...

Hey everyone, I'll be brewing a weizen (50% malted barley, 50% malted wheat) using my herms system. I plan on step mashing by continuously recirculating as I usually do with 100% malted barley recipes. However, I'm slightly concerned that I may come into problems due to the high concentration...

Hey Guys, So im in the process of putting together a eHerms system. My kegs themselves are pretty much done, now its time to put together the electronics. Ive purchased most of the stuff but would like to get some feedback on this circuit before I actually begin. This is a mix of...

I'm looking into buying an electrical enclosure for my electric herms setup. Plastic (polyester, pvc, etc...) are much cheaper on both price and shipping. Are there any disadvantages to using plastic electrical enclosure for setting up PIDs, SSRs, heatsinks, etc....? Any problems with heat...

Hey all, Finally got some stuff together, getting ready to build a brutus-like eHerms. Nothing new, nothing special, but finally up to building my own personal brewery. Its been a real suffering waiting for the parts (still not done), now I've got to summon the patience for the build...

Hey all, I've been questioning my current eHerms build. Because the herms system consists of continuously recirculating the wort through the mash using a pump, which will then be followed by the actual lautering...I beleive the use of a grant will supress the chance of a stuck filtration...

Hey everyone, As some of you may know, I'm in the process of building a 3keggle single tier eHERMS, however i've got some questions on the temp probe placement. I'm planning on having two PIDs, now should the probes be at the: -Valve outlets -fixed to keggle wall -at the inlet of each...

Hey guys, Any suggestions for a sparge arm when using a HERMS system. I will most probably be using a sabco-like false bottom and dont want to get it stuck with runnoff particles, which might be the case with MoreBeer's sparge arm (http://morebeer.com/view_product/9174//Gravity_Sparge_Arm)...

Hey everyone, Slowly but surely planning on building a version of the infamous Brutus 10. Question is...I have access to kegs but have come through numerous posts where people are all wired up on the Blichmann and other SS pots. I do realize that the kegs will require some modification, but...

Hey, I've begun thinking about finally putting together a brew rig on a similar platform to the brutus 10 without automization. I was planning on using propane, but would like to know the ups and downs in comparison to natural gas, herms and rims. Thanks!!!
