Hey Guys! I've been on a major brewing hiatus, but I'm finally getting back. I'm moving my rig indoors (woohoo!) and making it electrict (bigger woohoo). I'm hoping to validate some decision before starting the purchasing/building phase. Here's a quick link to my parts list...

Hello All! I'm fairly new to Raspberry Pi, but I'm a fairly old hat at electronics. Here's what I'm doing: I have a kegerator with 4 taps. I also have two young children (one of whom just figured out how to open the taps). My basic plan is to have 4 solenoid valves that will prevent beer...

I'm looking for some opinions on these solenoid valves: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Solenoid-1-4-SS-Valve-Air-Water-Gas-Diesel-12v-DC-Volt-Stainless-Steel-Viton-/111137864606 Being stainless, I'm pretty sure they should be ok to use. Thoughts? Opinions? Advice? Good place to look for...

Hello All! I've posted a few times while building out my RIMS toolbox, but I'm preparing to move inside and go all electric (and possibly HERMS, although not yet decided on that). ebrewsupply.com has 1 PID 30a BIAB DIY kits. They support a single heating element. My question is this: can...

Hello All! After months of dreaming, thinking and planning I dove in and built my three tier stand. I planned this stand to the teeth using Google Sketch-up which allowed me to have exact measurements for all of my cuts ahead of time. My only compromise on this one was the surface wood. I...

Hey Guys, I posted a few wiring diagrams along the way and you were awesome about answering all of my questions. Pop over to the full thread in the DIY section This is the result of all that planning:

First I need to say thank to everyone who gave feedback when I asked for it. I've been thinking about this build for months and finally took the plunge a few weeks ago. This is the completed (maybe) build. I went with the bigger form factor PID the 2352 from auberins because I enjoy large...

I brewed a 10 gallon batch of a somewhat generic wheat for souring/experimenting. I'm not sure what I was planning to do back in July, but here we are in April and I haven't touched it since I pitched the bugs. When I say haven't touched, I mean I haven't taken any samples or moved them in any...

Hello All, First I wanted to say thank you to everyone who responded to my earlier posts with wiring diagrams for my rims in a box build. Now I have an interesting problem that I can't seem to figure out. I've wired everything following the attached diagram. The area in red is my...

Hello Again, I'm finally at the point of wiring together my RIMS + Pump in a box. I wanted to get one last opinion on this wiring diagram before I put it into action. Things to note: - All switches are rated to 20 amp - Element is a 6000W 240v running on 120v - SSR is 20 amp - Pump...

This is my proposed wiring diagram for a rims in a box. My biggest question is what do I need to worry about four lights? Are they affected by the draw from the other thing in the circuit? My gut says no, but I want to be sure. Link to diagram...

Hello! I'm a total novice when it comes to home electrical work, but I felt like starting to tackle a RIMS in a box. I put together a basic wiring diagram of what I'm thinking for the project. I wanted to get feedback on it to make sure my head is on right. I didn't fill in the thermocouple...

Hello all, I've been doing a bunch of reading through the forum on Chocolate Stouts, Oatmeal Stouts, etc and I have a recipe I wanted to get some feedback on. Any and all feedback is welcome. Thanks in advance! Recipe Specifications -------------------------- Boil Size: 4.01 gal...

This is my first post, so please be easy on me. I had this idea to make an extremely sessionable IPA. My hope is to end up with a nice bitterness and aroma while keeping the beer at a fairly low ABV. My recipe is below and any feedback would be extremely welcome! Thanks in adavance...
