Hello All. Here's a link to the ebay listing for the below. If you can see it, the text below is the same as the listing. If you would like to see photos, I can send you them. Try doing an ebay search for: Heavy Duty Microbrewery Homebrew Brewing Tree Stand 2 Tier Electric Gravity Fed if the...

As suspected, it won't let me attach the zip file. Any ideas? Here's a link to download the programming software. It's free but you do have to sign up. http://www.rockwellautomation.com/global/support/connected-components/workbench.page?#/tab4

I'll upload them soon, I don't know if or how well I'll be able to attach a zip file to this thread though. I think it got stuck because to pump flow was too high. Im only using a small dc pump with a cheap pwm circuit which I got off ebay to control the speed. Once you turn the speed...

After much consideration and a little bit of influence from the wife, I've decided to modify the Kernel into a more compact version. After a few stuck mashes and grain getting into my boil kettle, I decided to include a grain bag on top of the false bottom which worked great. I could then...

Here's a crude schematic. Clear as mud?

Hi. Yes I'm using a SSR, it does get very warm though so I have an overrated one with a heatsink and a fan in the enclusre just to be safe, I wouldn't want it packing up on me. The PLC I'm using only has one PWM output and I wanted to use this for the mash tun and to control how agressive...

A quick update on the Kernel. I've added the ultra sonic sensors into the program and changed the HMI graphics to display this information and made a few other changes to the program. I've just got to figure out a way of attaching the sensors to the HLT and BK. I'm also fitting some connectors...

Nice. Of course it's be easier but where's the fun in that!

Lucky you! I would definitely recommend using a recirculating pump. It helps distribute the temperature throughout the vessel and helps to clear the wort as it uses the grain bed/grain bag as a filter. Have to be careful though, the element sits under the false bottom on my system and if I...

The operator interface is the PanelView Component. There is a newer range called the PanelView800 but this application can be downloaded to either of them. Yes, that does seem to be how it is! I brewed an Australian Pale Ale today. It went well and I'm looking forwards to trying some :D

For those interested, I will eventually be uploading schematics and the programming code.

What is it you are doing?

What is it you are doing?

That sounds interesting. It'd be good to see how you do it.

There is a PWM function block which you can just drag and drop into the ladder logic. I used the output from the PID function block to adjust the duty cycle of the PWM output. There is a PID function block (an add-on) to use available for free from Rockwell's sample code website. It's much...

Hi. Yes I did an engineering apprenticeship :) I can see why it confused you. It's under constant development. What is it you do in your job?

I wasn't planning on selling it. This is my first attempt at this so bear with me :)
