So when you re-brewed the only recipe change was more molasses?

Bringing this back from the dead. This looks like a solid recipe, I'm surprised there's been no feedback. How is everyone's memories on this one? Cheers.

Nice one. I was thinking about making something like this for cleaning sanke kegs since I'm using them for fermenters. Has anyone reading this tried that before?

That's so funny. Initially wanting to squeeze into a 5 gallon pot then ending up with a 16. I hope it's not too big for your stove! What kind of chiller are you using? If you're not using a plate chiller you could skip the hop spider if you are so inclined. You could also put your hops in a...

An 8 gallon kettle is great but you can indeed pull off full 5 gallon batches in a 5 gallon kettle. Your efficiency will only be 55-60% but you need to calculate how much water you can fit in the kettle with the grain weight of your recipe. You then need to top up the water but you can hit...

Hi everyone, I'm researching Old Ale recipes for a future brew and I found this - looks great! Was there any talk about what kind of water profile to use? If not I'll probably just come up with something to accommodate the mash and IBUs. Cheers.

It didn't. I figured a pot like that needed actual welding to I went for a 30 gallon thin wall pot that I soldered.

Hi, old thread indeed! I totally didn't go this route but used a regular BIAB in my rig. Cheers, and good luck.

Thanks.

Is anyone here using V3 of CBP? I want to develop some automation and wondering if I should just go with 3.1 alpha.

There's a few people around here using that type. Hopefully I'll be one of them soon.. they are expensive though. That 10 kpa one would be good up to a 40" deep kettle. I'm searching for a 0-6 kpa one, npt or tri-clover. The price gets me though. If you don't mind buying direct from China...

Thanks for the info, jangevaa. Do you have a link to the aliexpress unit? Edit: Like this?

Makes sense regarding the range. Roger that on the analog sensors - I'm planning for that. I'm also using PT100 temp probes and have some MAX31865 amplifiers on the way. I may make a little pi shield incorporating these, analog to digital converter, relays, etc. The first step for me in...

Thanks. I've also read your threads and posts on the topic so thanks for that too. I was searching for a 1 or 2 psi version of this since I was wondering about the psi range in question. So these things don't measure from 0-5 psi? If not, what is the range?

From ebay: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Pressure-Transducer-Sender-Sensor-0-4-5V-Stainless-Steel-for-Oil-Fuel-Air-Water-/322488964981?var=511464069357 I'm looking to automate my electric brew rig using a raspberry pi and expanding on Craft Beer Pi. Does anyone here have experience with this...
