  I have thought about them but that kind of takes away done of the DIY for me. I was going to
  use either tap water or the steam beside my house for the cold water source.I would go with the
  tap water o...

  That's a pretty cool idea, but for efficiency's sake, you may want to rearrange the design.
  Instead of splitting the flow, and running 4 parallel lines, you should run it in series,
  making the wort tr...

  Your best bet will be the hopblocker screen. If you are worried about it clogging, you could
  switch to whole hops. There is really no other way to keep it out but by filtering it.

  The problem here is not related to your input water pressure fluctuations. I would suggest
  installing a flowmeter, so that you can monitor the rate of flow. Using this, you could figure
  out a rise in ...

  I'm pretty sure you would NOT want to use pvc for this. You could use copper if you keep the
  sensors insulated from the pipe. Is this going to be something where the water makes contact
  with the senso...

  That photo says it all. My teakettle is an oval, so it won't fit a coil. Seeing what you've
  done, Cazamodo, makes me want to build this even more. Thanks for the inspiration. Sure beats a
  $200 stainle...

  I never got around to building this, but would be glad to talk you through it. I had planned to
  use it as more of a RIMS device, where you pump the wort into the kettle, and it would pour
  over a weir ...

  I'm also interested in using Arduino if I ever get around to automating anything. Can it be
  used stand-alone, or does it need to be connected to a computer to function?

• Posted in thread: Mash Tun Manifold Suggestions on 05-11-2012 at 05:47 PM
  I have two comments. If you use plenty of sparge water, the left over wort will not be a
  problem. Whatever's left should be pretty weak anyway, if you sparge a good pre-boil volume.The
  size of your ma...
