Yeah… embarrassingly it’s been in a holding pattern. Due to some hardware orders it got back burnered a bit… BUT it will be finished!! Hoping to use the holidays to get some time toward it!

Where do you install this, just before your rims tube?Vorluft well untill it runs clean. I also have a Wort Filter 1.5" Tri Clover Compatible Strainer with 3" OD Body from Brewers Hardware
MT drain valve out -> flow meter -> DC recirc pump -> RIM's Tube (vertical) -> MT In (top bulkhead via TC) -> MT inside bulkhead: Loc-Line adjusted just below surface. I don't use any type of filter in the RIM's recirc loop, everything is 1/2" straight through.How are others doing their rims return to the mash tun? I just bought a stout MT. It has a triclamp fitting on both outside and inside in the top of the vessel. They sell a triclamp tube with holes in it for recirc and sparge, but I read that it will clog if you recirc the mash through it. Sparging is fine.
Any recommendation on flowmeters for rims and sparge? I looked at the plastic adafruit one, but it is out of stock. There are a lot on Amazon, but it is not clear what you are getting and what the materials are. A lot of them seem to be for fuel filling applications.
Great, thanks for the link.I use this one, I'm not using it for volume calculations just as a flow reference: https://www.amazon.com/DIGITEN-Sensor-Switch-Flowmeter-Counter/dp/B00VKATCRQ/ref=sr_1_31?crid=QQX6PC1WEP5I&keywords=Gredia+GR-201+flow+meter&qid=1640727660&sprefix=gredia+gr-201+flow+meter,aps,279&sr=8-31

I move the Wort from the MLT to the Brew Kettle through the filter. Not much left. My MLT is now bottom drain so I no longer have the 1.26 gal dead space. We normally brew 22 to 27 gal batches so that loss in not an issue. We used to take all the dead space into consideration, flushing when we could. We have a fixed manifold that we also flush. We simply added grain and volume to get the desired final fermentor volume.Only issue I see with a strainer is the dead volume it contains. It’s ultimately lost unless you sparge through it too.
It looks like it is limited to 158F. Do you use it for mash and sparge?A bit pricy but no moving parts

This may be a cuase of all the resizing issues I have been having regarding when I am working on the workspaces, It may have been that I was resizing Elements when it was locked and I was not paying attention. I have my resize to 1 x 1 when I am building.@oakbarn @BrunDog I observe the same thing. If you lock the workspace, close BruControl, then start BruControl, the workspace will still be locked when the software launches but the elements are able to be resized via mouse in the bottom right corner of the element. If you unlock then relock the workspace, the ability to resize will go away as intended.
unfortunately not. If it happens again I will take a screen shot. This is a replicate of what I saw: I could resize while lockedView attachment 754206
So these are npt threads without taper and an oring to seal, so they work with the BSP fitting on the SM6004?FYI, Blichmann quick connectors fit them fine and make for as compact as a connection as you can get.
Edit: For reference, here are some pictures.
Thanks for the reply! Unfortunately I believe my meter can only output via Profibus DP (Endress+Hauser promass 83M). I've never worked with PLCs so I was just curious if anyone knew of any software that can run on a virtual machine that could simulate the communication protocol so I would be able to read the meter without getting an actual PLC? I see that there is a beta node red for Profibus DP, but it looks like i would still need a Siemens PLC and adapter to communicate. I appreciate the feedback.I did it via modbus and node red....
