Home Brew System – 15 gallon – 3 vessel This is loosely based on a Brew Magic System. The 2 Stainless kettles are from Brew magic. Like new condition. These were heavily customized with sanitary welded tri-clover fittings. The entire fluid flow system is ½”, ¾” and 1” TC and the elements...

I have a project that is very simple and needs to be done in CAD like Solid works. Probably a couple days of work. I am looking for a SW guru that could do this for hire ? Anyone interested ? Feel free to PM me and then we could talk. Thanks Bill

Hey if anyone wants one to make a ferm chamber or kegerator refrig, I have one that I need to get rid of this week. Size - Interior of refrigerator portion - 41" H X 24" W X 23" D. The bottom 9-1/2" of the refrigerator portion is only 15" deep due to the compressor bump out. Works fine...

For those that have more of a clean in place system, I saw a suggestion here to use a wet vac to get the leftover grains after scooping or dumping most of the grains out. Sounded like a good idea. At COSTCO, I came across a STANLEY 4 GAL STAINLESS STEEL WET/DRY VAC # 554490 for $32.99...

Had it at a Beer Exchange party this weekend and loved it. Anybody tries to brew this one ? i am looking for an all grain recipe. I know its a belgian-style Golden Ale fermented with blackberry and blueberry puree. Thanks Bill

I am ready to order some stuff from Automation Direct and was searching their site for a 2 pole, 30 A, 120 V Coil Contactor like Auberins has http://www.auberins.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=2&products_id=129 . Nothing came up. Maybe I am reading the spec's wrong, but all I...

Looking for 20 Amp, 240 V Toggle switches. illuminated if possible, to switch off my 3500 and 4500 watt heating elements. I am using regular electrical switches for this now, and want to get something a little better to panel mount on my control panel. I looked at Automation Direct and...

I need to add a triclover ferrules my MT kettle, one to my conical and a couple of other pieces to be welded. I need sanitary welds. I took the parts to the guy I usually use, but he is swamped and is not sure when he will get it done. He has had it for close to 4 weeks now. Since I...

I built a RIMS and it would be easiest to mount it horizontally, but it seems that the best way would be vertically to make sure it is always full and the heating element completely surrounded by Wort. I see in a lot of systems, they are mounted both ways, so I wanted to hear from those...

Does anyone use a check valve in their O2 line ? Occasionally I will get some cooled wort going into the line through the diffuser stone. I am looking for a small check valve to prevent back-flow to install right before the air stone. I need something that has 1/4" barb fittings for a 1/4"...

I am building an electric keggle. It will have a false bottom and right now the siphon tube pickup at the center to collect all of the wort. I can collect the hops on the false bottom, and maybe the hot break, but I am assuming the cold break is fine enough to go through the screen. I would...

1. Like new Polarware Home brew Kettle - 15 gallon, with false bottom, siphon, lid, with thermometer - perfect except one swaglok fitting threads are slightly galled. Should be repairable or worse case have a new fitting welded in ($25 cost to weld in new fitting) - Can be used as boil kettle or...

Thought I would give this a try here. I am looking for a 1/2" male coupling or nipple (1/2" male threads both sides) that has 3/8" threads on the inside of one the ends. I want to be able to thread this into a 1/2" female coupling that cam on my Plastic Mini brew HLT that I use. i want...

I have water fill with valve right next to my HLT. I am going to install a solenoid valve to turn the water on and off. I want to control it with 2 momentary push-buttons and do the following: 1. Start button - Opens the valve and fills until I hit the float switch level and valve close or...

Hey, I brewed an AG Centennial Blonde yesterday. Everything was good. Used a CFC and O2 into the conical at 68 F. Pitched a dry Nottingham yeast on top with a stir around 7 pm last night. I monitor with a Ranco in a thermowell with a heater attached to keep it at 68 F. But I forgot to plug...

Got a new Nema 4, 16" X 14" X 6" control box for free from a friend that works for an institutional greenhouse contractor. I wanted just a box, but all he had was a leftover shade control box fully wired. The whole thing is brand new and the box is nice. I am wondering what use I can get out...

I ordered the programmable PID from Auberins (SYL-2352P) I know its overkill, but I thought it would be cool to use the steps to go from mash-in to mash temp to sparge temp. Anyway, I have it programmed, but had a question on how to reset it to start at the beginning. Doing a lot of...

I am going to brew Biermuncher's Centennial blonde Ale as 5 gallon AG tomorrow using a new electric herms system I just put together and I need a little advice. I entered this into Beersmith (my first try) and selected "Temperature Mash, 1 Step, Light Body" as my mash profile. I thought it...

I got great answers to my question of the SSR's yesterday, so here is another one... Trying to finish my all electric herms control box and got to the point of connecting it to my 50 Amp 240 outlet recently installed. After it is plugged in, the breakers return to off immediately. Obviously...

Working on my control box for an all electric HERMS system and have been testing stuff before I give it the full power. My question involves how to test the SSR's. I have 3 of them, one 10 amp SSR for the pump and 2 - 50 Amp Crydom SSR's for the BK and HLT 5500W elements. I was trying to...
