Just spent some time with Bru'n Water. On the "water adjustment" page half the adjustments are red... which means I'm gonna need to dilute my water down anyway, so I guess I will just buy a small RO unit, and continue building from scratch.

So I am moving across the country, and have downloaded a water report. Where I currently live, the tap water doesn't taste good so I have been using RO water. Been hoping to use tap water where I'm moving (Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan). This attached water report is from 2012 (I plan on getting a...

As a Canadian I take offence to this article. Calling Canadians bland? The nerve of some people :p At least we have better beer here ;)

Well, I guess some goofing around is in order. As soon as I move I will set up my HLT and try a few different chunks of code. Glad to hear others don't think I'm out to lunch, and I can move on to coding more "fun" aspects of my project

Kind of what I figured. I started reading how PID works, but then my eyes glazed over... I'm smart enough to understand it, just too lazy to try :cross: I figure that since it's not linear as it approaches the setpoint it should be ok. It's a matter of finding the correct "min" so that it...

I am building an e-herms brewery similar to Kal's design. I have made a lot of changes, but I like his workflow and am emulating that. Being the geek that I am (and I suppose most people who spend time in the Automated Brewing Forum are), I am not satisfied with using an off the shelf PID...

How does the price of the 3 tanks compare to Stout's regular price on those? What you ordered from him is pretty much exactly what I would want to order...

5492 + 5 = 5497 Brewed a few months ago, and forgot to post!

I know this thread is really old, but what did you wind up doing with your hinges? I'm pretty sure I have the exact same old school freezer, and I just put a 2x4 collar on it and am worried about the bottom holes

Has anyone ever used PEX (residential water pipe) for a gas manifold? Found lots of threads regarding using it for brewing equipment, but I am trying to put a kegerator together and get creative. Water shutoffs are like $3, and the T's and stuff are super cheap. I would think that it would...

So... I have a small kegerator, and am currently enjoying ales. What I really want to do though, is do up a nice stout. Only problem is that I don't really want to invest in a nitro setup, and I also don't want to use up one of my two taps for a beer that I will only want to drink...

So I have done lots of searching and reading, and have come to the conclusion that chromed brass (with the internal chrome worn off) can impart a metallic taste in my beer. So I have a fairly nice beer tower that I got a good deal on from a restaurant that went out of business. Has two...

Figured I would throw this in here instead of making a new thread. I pieced together some bits and pieces from around the internet, and brewed up this recipe last weekend, hoping it will hit the I&G Rum Cask pretty closely (it tasted amazing going into the fermenter). Innis and Gunnish - Rum...

Ya, I was trying to tape it to the keg, but duct tape wouldnt stick to the cold metal, and I was too lazy to get an elastic or something. Tomorrow I guess. Ya, I build stupid little electronic "things" pretty frequently, it's so cheap, and much more fun than buying something. Only problem...

Ya, I was thinking about making it adjustable, but didn't bother. I actually dont have buttons or anything for adjusting the temperature, since I dont know how I'm going to mount it... I'm just shorting pins right now to adjust it :drunk:. I'm hoping it doesn't run too frequently at 1 degree...
