Yes heatsink are cheap, looking for something better down the line.

Hi guys, finally completed Control Panel based on SB Elsinore, and done a couple of batch, everything work flawlessly! link of the build HERE Complete setup HERE And a brew day with it HERE I was working on tuning the pid setting, but during that i verify that for a setpoint of 67°C i...

Thanks :)

done a full wet test (1 hour fake mash with mashout plus 1 hours boil) so i was quite confident, just worried about stirrer. Fermentation went well, got target 1.014/12 FG in 7 days. Racked to another fermenter and dry hopped with 250gr of Cascade/Galaxy, tried to purge fermenter with 16gr Co2...

Density measurement (1.060 instead of expected 1.056) gravity setup for plate exchanger, to get out wort at 68F / 20C degree. Got around 13,4G / 51Liters of cooled wort (as expected). Yeast rehydrated (3 x US-05 sachets), wort "manual" oxygenation ready to go in...

Lots of Cascade e Galaxy hops for a beer made all in late hop addiction, wanted to try this method for long time, i'm the bald happy guy :D Iodine test at 75 minutes, ready to mashout at 172F / 77,8C degrees for 15minutes Time to remove stirrer and cage Pull...

Hi guys, first batch done on new rig, E-biab setup with 4kw elements, automatic mash stirrer, everything wireless controlled via web, thanks to a Raspberry PI with StrangeBrew Elsinore Software (Credits to Doug for this!, Great piece of software!) Started with lot of doubts, will the wiper...

To insulate the pot i've used on the bottom a wood panel, covered with a cork layer, on the sides, heat reflective radiator panels, fixed with "automotive straps" Final pictures, and video (sorry in italian!) of wet test with 19g/73liters in mash and 15g/58liters in boil...

Here the elements, custom made in italy, Aisi 321 Stainless Steel body and 304 top cap, Ulwd (7w/cm2) so i don't have to worry a lot about scorching the wort again :p, fixed in place with washer and locknut, filled with high temp (200° c) food grade silicone, specifically for wine, beer, milk...

Here is the cage, made with 0,8mm sheet, soft enough to be hand bended, hard enough (once fixed with screws) to hold the bag in place. manufacture is not perfect, in fact cage "swell" in the center, but nothing impacting functionality Everything assembled for testing, screws will...

Hi, just wanted to share....first sorry if some phrases or words doesn't sound right, is difficult to explain technical things in english! after a year working on it, finally complete my Electric Biab setup, 100liters pot for 14g/52liters of finished product, dual 2kw elements with...

Sorry for the pics intensive discussion, instead of doing a step by step thread i've waited to check everything is ok and post it when sure it was working. Here a video test of the panel (sorry is in italian), it show in the first part manual mode (stirrer on and off, stirrer speed regulation...

Working on it i found a problem, box wasn't deep enough to mount inside all the items, so i've add at the rear of the panel a electric box in which i've put power supply and 5v stepdown regulator. I've sanded and sprayed the panel, but paint is not good....worked on it after that and lots of...

a bit of flex/dremel work made by my father, i'm not that good with flex/solder/dremel :( Holes for the power outlets, some cuts on the box, after that an aluminum panel will be mounted on the front, with all switches, led, etc. Here the ssr section, similar to electricbrewery...
