I have run into online shops having issues inventory also. I haven't experienced this from Austin Homebrew, but have from other businesses and it drives me nuts not being able to brew on a scheduled brew date! I stopped buying from one company because I got tired looking on their site only to...

I'm designing my 3 burner stand that will be using 10" Low Pressure Hurricane burners with a high pressure LPG tank and appropriate valve and orifice. I know I need a regulator to convert the tank from high to low pressure. But can I feed all 3 burners with 1 regulator at the tank? Or do I need...

I'm looking to use Kraeusening to carbonate and clean up a cream ale. I'm using a spreadsheet tool I found of Braukaiser.com that tells you the amount of wort and gravity that should be added to obtain my target Co2 volume. In my case i need 1 gal @ 1.039 to acheive 2.7 vols of Co2. My...

I'm designing my panel for a single tier 3 burner BCS-460 gas system. I'm wondering if I can wire 4 temp probes with a single Cat5 connector as well as the 3 Honeywell gas valves to another single Cat5 connector? I'm looking to save space on the bottom of the panel. If I use a single connector...

Ugghhh....Sorry didn't mean to hijack this thread. Thanks for the drawing. The float switches are to control the sparge and fire off the buzzer to indicate a sparge that is complete. I did have a question. I have seen other drawings that wire from the BCS to the 3 way switches and then to the...

P-J, Your drawings are absolutely fantastic! You are right maybe instead of reinventing the wheel, looking for a diagram that has already been created is an option. I tried searching and found a thread of your e-brewing diagrams. I couldn't find a 3 burner, 2 pump,Honeywell gas BCS...

I'm planning my panel for a 3 Gas Burner, 2 pump, BCS system and was looking for software packages as well. I found on Ebay a student version of AutoCAD Electrical 2014 at a reasonable price. It will stamp a watermark on the side of drawing stating for non commercial use. But for my use it...

I'm wondering if your alarms work with your tablet? I have an ipad and and was thinking about building a manual system and a detachable tablet that I can take indoors during the hot summer months as well a look up for on the fly calcuations. Unfortunately, the alarm is not heard through the...

I've been programming my BCS-460 and I can't seem to get the email on alarm feature to work. I am using 3.70 of the firmware and enabled "Email notification on alarm" in the system settings as well as my email address. And selected "Email on alarm" button in the state that activates the alarm...

I brewed this recipe and it was very good. Thanks for the recipe. I did my own comparison to Newcastle and my beer was a little darker in color and cocoa flavor really came through...Maybe a little less chocolate next time. The only thing that was clearly different from the Newcastle is that...

I would use 6 Row instead of 2 Row. The 6 row may convert the adjuncts more completely. Replace the rice with corn. I also use Cascade for my hops. Mash at 148 degrees. Here is my Cream Ale recipe. 8 lbs 6 row 1 lbs Carapils 1 lbs flaked corn 4 oz Crystal 40 0.70 oz Cascade 60 min 7.10% AA 0.17...

It's a shame that maybe the best beer may not even make it into the NHC. I'm sure mine isn't but I bet the best beer isn't registered. I too was shut out of competition. I will have to drink my Cream Ale, Northern Brown Ale, and Bourbon Oak Old Ale instead of giving up bottles to be judged...

Does anyone see an issue with using 6-row malt as a base for this recipe? I brew a Cream Ale quite frequently and use the 6-row to convert the adjuncts (corn). I have a 50 lb. sack of 6-row and it would be great if I use it as a base for this beer. I just brewed this yesterday with the original...
