    convince me to buy a barley crusher..

    After seeing your setup it would be even more of a pain to clear a slipping roller. I just picked one up a few weeks ago, set it to .036", and had roller freeze/slip on my second batch 3 times. It's definitely a pain to dump 10 pounds, clear and reload. I noticed on my unit that the edge of...

    Could you (would you) brew in this room with an electric setup?

    You can also use ground fault breakers in a sub panel, vs. individual GFI outlets, especially if your going with high amperage heating elements (25amp+).

    Taming the Wild Beast - Multi-Jet burner mod

    Bobby do you know the difference in orifice size on the NG vs the propane version of the multi-jet? Just wondering if anybody has tried the propane version of this burner on NG to see if it limits the flow close to your jet blocking.

    Electric valves

    Well that's a bummer, it is hard to come by quality transformers on the cheap. Are you outputting 0 vdc/off during NC operation in your program? Since you would seem to be the one with advanced knowledge in this area, can you write a simple program to use the digital signal provided by Opto AD...

    Electric valves

    Kladue, Just curious are you using proportional or floating, and spring return or fail in place?

    What's next?

    Well if you can decide and switch in such a short period I would suggest holding on to your re-acquisitions for at east a few cycles, that was a costly mistake but at least your brewing again, or you could wait until the halving of the raw mats. market finally throws one our way.

    Natural Gas Burner Suggestions

    If your multi-jet didn't work for you, and the banjo did, you are propagating an issue specific to yourself because the multi-jet heats as well or better than a banjo. Either: A) You have improper orifice sizing. B) You have not installed a trap to capture inline flakes from galvanic...

    BCS-460 Beta Test

    Thanks for the response, are you allowed to take detailed pics of the module, or is that not permitted with the beta. If so I would appreciate a picture or two of the module (terminals) since it doesn't show on their site.

    BCS-460 Beta Test

    Does the software support integrated PID? Also what is the total analog and digital I/O's, I couldn't tell from the other page whether there were an additional 4 inputs besides the 4 mV inputs for thermocouples or not. Any plans for expansion modules or an advanced model? That may be your way...

    The Once and Future Konical

    4" sanitary uses a 4" clamp and cap. the 2 multi-sizes are 1/2"-3/4" (mini Tri-Clamp, and harder to come by) which uses the same clamp because they share the same OD clamp face, and 1"-1 1/2" which also are interchangeable . The only difference is the actual pipe diameter is different but the...

    Best appliance paint?

    Sherwin Williams Commercial/Industrial Polane T Plus Polane HS Armorseal Epoxy Armorseal Urethane I have refinished a few machine tools using Polane and it's pretty tough. After only a 5 day cure one of my lathe's chip pans was full with aluminum and steel chips swathing in cutting oil and...

    The Once and Future Konical

    I like the tri-clamp viewing port. I was planning on machining a bolt down port but your way is much easier, and useful if you wanted to dry hop. Thanks
