As part of my brewhouse build I am updating my brewery as well. I am starting out converting to electric, then slowly convert to (the dream) fully automated including transfer to fermenter and fermenter control. I am working on rough plumbing diagrams right now while I get the stand welded and...

2 quickies- Since I am starting small (2 5500W element eHERMS) but would like to keep the door open to maybe pursue even full automation in the future, I will probably be picking up an oversized control box. Since at this phase I don't know what my final layout will be and do want to...

Due to rural internet connectivity I apologize in advance if any questions that I ask have been reiterated to death. Searches and reading pages take INCREDABLE amounts of time for me, and I have done some searches... but please link pages if you are lucky enough that you have internet that...

My wife and I moved this summer, and out new house has this wonderful shed/workshop that is BEGGING to become a brewery. This wil be the future brew room after cleaning up, pouring a slab, putting in a floor drain, and running some 220V outlets for a possible eHERMS system. I could...

I start by saying I am glad to be back on here, and it is good to have opportunities to brew again. My wife and I just got a new house with land, and some out buildings, so I am looking forward to future hops gardening and brew shed construction. This property came with a 4" well, I am...

I know there are several portable kegerator threads out there, but the information was kind of scattered when I tried to find if for my build. For that reason I thought I would write up my build with a parts list and links for anyone who wants to build one of these in the future, as well as some...

I am getting more kegs, so in the interest of room, I am reducing my bottle collection. I will have at least 8 cases of 12oz bottles (mostly brown, a small smattering of green) to get rid of as I empty them over the next couple months. If you are semi-local we can work out a pick-up/drop-off...

Here I am, 2AM, trying to finish my last final EVER (except for boards, but those don't count... :rolleyes:). All I have to do is finish developing a complete herd health plan for a relatively small (200 head) beef cattle operation, complete with costs, expected returns, etc. Now I would be...

As back story, I currently use a direct fire type RMS. I just recently changed my thermometers out on my rig due to damage (they don&#8217;t like it when the cord falls into the burners :rolleyes:), and noticed a significant decrease in efficiency, as well as an increased incidence of scorching...

I have spent about a year tweaking this recipe, and with the last 3 batches turning out great I decided to finally share :D This recipe was developed for my wife and BMC drinking friends, and ended up becoming a staple on tap that I enjoy fairly often as well. I was trying to develop something...

My wife is trying to put together something similar to the "newly wed game" as an activity for a meeting we have this month. The target audience is veterinary students and their spouses/significant others. I know there are some very creative people out there, so if anyone has any ideas to try...
