A filter might work and then I'll adjust the chemistry in the mash accordingly.

jk, can PEX be coiled? I was thinking about a garden hose (potable water approved from McMaster) since it can be coiled on the outside of the shed.

Pex comes in coils but it's rather stiff. take a look at your local home depot or whatever to get an idea of the product.

I'm curious as I don't want to bury a line out to my "shed" either but am a little weary of using a hose due to bacteria, etc. Any suggestions?

Believe it or not, right now I'm using buckets and/or Corny kegs. I considered buying 100' of RV rated water hose, but I haven't done it yet.

We are likely having a sprinkler system installed in the back yard this summer. I may ask for a quote for a hose bib in or near the hut while they're at it.

Hello Yuri,
How did the Ping))) work out? I want to use something to help measure water in the HLT. Dose it get affected by steam/moisture?
I have on older Polaroid sensor that i wanted to use but they have a min range of 9" without getting more sophisticated with the control lines.

I came across an old stamp article that uses two foil strips. I don't know how the different mineral content would effect the readings, If i understand this correctly, temperature will and a non trial effect. There is also proximity effects of other objects.
one way to possible deal with the temp and ion content would be to fill to a known level and after temp is reached use that as a calibration point......

Benefits would be to be able to use with standard sight glass and be cheap...
also thought of using a 10 turn pot + float...

.....I'm babbling a bit....

No effect by steam. Moisture doesn't seem to be an issue so far, though it is definitely a concern.

Yuri, any update on reliability of the ping sensor? Also how are you mounting/orientation of this on the vessel? I am thinking of adding one of these to my system.

Thanks in advance.

If you drop it into boiling wort, it ceases to work. Oops.
