Local Pickup Only I have a pair of Blichman boilermaker pots to sell. The first is a 20g dude that I added a 220V 5500W element to. I will include a blichman hop screen that is useful for keeping hops out of your chiller. I used it as a boiler doing 15gallon or so batches. The...

I am selling off some of my unused brew equipment. I have a Blichmann Therminator and a tri-clamp screener from brewers hardware that I have always used together so I'm selling them together. MFR site: https://www.brewershardware.com/FILTER1.html...

I designed an inline refractometer so that I can watch the gravity out of the mash tun as the RIMS runs and also be able to cut off the sparge out when the gravity drops. Commercial process refractometers are super pricey, hence why I designed my own. I will hash one out at the machine shop...

I no longer have access to solidworks for laying out my brew sculpture before i build it. It makes a huge difference having a layout before you start rolling stainless. I tried google sketch but it was crap. I am curious if you all have any suggestions on what is reasonable out there for...

I have been surprised at how many brewers I have met in the area. We are trying to get a home brew club organized since we are to far from the one in Austin, Lubbock, or metromess. I don't know anyone on the forum in the area but hit me up if your in brown, comanche or death county. Hell, there...

Wooohooo, just found out that I will be getting my full 5% yearly bonus for 2011! Getting married at the end of the month so I think I might spend it all on a new brew setup. After the 30th everything will have to be swmbo approved.:-( Already have a buying list of three stainless...

Sadly I have lost my tig welding cheat sheet and am having trouble getting my settings back. I stick weld alot but tig is something new. I am not a pro welder but I did buy a tig machine to play with for brewing. I have welder friends who tell me how to set up my machine and I just run the...

New to the yeast starter stuff. I have been doing some reading and am interested if anyone has done big starters for 30 to 50 gallon batches? the yeast cost is super high and we have been way underpitching. Thanks clay

I just finished reading "The town and country brewery book" that I first found in an antique bookstore. They wanted 700 bucks for this old book so a quick glance was all I got. Then I did a Google search and found this book was on Google books for free! It was printed in the 1800s in England and...

I have been wondering what our water profile was for a bit and the results just came in tonight. Looks like our water is hard enough to cut diamonds and alkali enough that it might be better suited as battery acid. Anyways, plugging the numbers into beersmith and ez water calculator I don't...

Building a controller and am trying to decide on how i need to connect the thermocouples. To quickly explain my potential setup I will have an enclosure with a plc thermocouple card inside, i would like to go through a din rail terminal block before going to a female plug on the front of the...

I over guessed by quite a bit on how much stainless line I would need on my next brewery that I am working on. So I have a surplus of 1in high polished stainless steel food grade tubing. If anyone needs some for their piping I would like to sell off some of it. I might even be persuaded into...

looking into building a PWM controller to compare it to my pid box. Ideally an analog output from the plc could control the PWM but that is another story. My question is for SSRs what is the frequency range that they should be ran at? Most of their data sheets do not give max switching speed...

any process gurus here that might have used red lion controllers for pid, temp monitor, and output? http://www.redlion.net/Products/ProcessControl/ModularController.html I have used redlion HMIs in the past and they were a breeze to set up. These controllers i am hoping are equally as top...

I got two new trinkets today. One i had to buy the other I found lying around. Guess which one that I found lying around? its a purge tower for welding on fittings. It is tapered for all the standard sizes of stainless tubing for sanitary welding. It was really easy to set up on a...

Hi all, I have been reading posts on homebrewtalk.com for quite awhile now. I have not made many posts of my own. But I bet that I have spent three to four hours a day reading how you all have done stuff while building my own setup. It was complete awhile ago and now I feel like sharing. I...

I have read almost everything I can find related to the wort recirculation flow rate and am just as confused as when I started. What I am specifically trying to find is an equation or ratio that will tell me what water flow rate I need in the mashing process. Obviously, I am aware of the...
