It's held up very well and I've brewed quite a few batches with it. I created a single-tier brew bench and mounted my RIMS setup to it (pictures to come?) to prep for an eventual all-electric setup with two pumps. The control box is only 120V with one pump outlet, so when I make the switch to...

Followed! A lot of good holiday season giveaways!

Yes. See what you are pushing to your elements. Also curious what components are in your box.

Haha thanks! :mug: The tower was completely improvised, but it's functional and will suffice until I move to 100% electric and build a single tier system.

That would be really cool! I imagine a removable mobo tray would be a good route to go... but finding the right sized enclosure would be the challenge.

https://youtu.be/DH62pTZPdvc First run after leak testing. :ban: https://youtu.be/7iFJlZJuKqQ Quick snippet of today's batch using the RIMS build. I went for simplicity but with some control. I have three switches, which go from left to right. The first switch is the power-on to the box. I...

Got tired of the boil kettle screen getting blocked by hop material so I figured it was time to make a hop spider. Function and leak testing! And here we are today... got the PID tuned and brewed my second batch with the new RIMS build. Held protein rest temperature and saccharification...

Got the heating element relay wired up. Also finished wiring the PID with the temperature probe wires. A snapshot of the finished product. Definitely a tight fit! Inside the box from a different angle. The underside of the lid. First power to the box! Success. Blew a break when I...

Got the switches and lights wired. Starting to wire the outlets. YAY! RIMS stuff came from Brewhardware.com. I decided to buy the tube rather than build it because I wanted 1) Easier cleaning and 2) quick disconnects. Brewhardware's RIMS tube was the perfect solution. The sanitary welding...

Taking a look at the space I am dealing with inside. Wired up the terminal blocks. Ready for installation. SSR and heatsink. Took some leftover CPU thermal grease and used it for the SSR base. Thermal grease applied. Freshly painted and freshly scratched lid with components. Took the...

Hello HBT Forums! :off: I am coming up on my three-year anniversary to homebrewing. I had a general interest in brewing ever since I discovered that I like beer because my uncle homebrewed. Then my wife got me a Mr. Beer kit for Christmas 2012. I brewed the three recipes that came with the...

I can see where the issues are there. I suppose the application would be very specific to closet fermenters, as you said. I agree with spending the money elsewhere. Thx for sharing your input!

Daaaaannnnngggggg..... did anyone else have to pick their chin up off the floor and wipe the drool from their face just now? I'll take an order of one purrrrty half-barrel conical :mug: Thanks for the fantastic prizes Ss Brewing Technologies!!!

I was about to close brewtoad after an evening of brewing when i saw this ad that caught my eye... so I investigated further. And no, I am not advocating this product, I am merely curious if anyone has used one or heard about it. The "Brew Jacket" is like a giant heatsink rod that sits in your...

Nevermind... I was correct in my labeling as my panel is now complete and working as it should.

Hello everyone. The attached picture is a Yuco DPDT relay I have going into my control panel to control the overall power to the box. I am fairly certain I have an understanding of how this relay works, but unfortunately I can't find anything that has this relay's connection points labeled or...

Amber Waves - West Coast Ale All-grain

Lookin sexy!

Fantastic setups! I'll be making the switch to a single-tier electric system in a year or two. I've already got a parts list put together for a control panel... just can't decide if I want to go HERMS or RIMS.

I can't wait to move to this myself. I am thinking about building a 2 pump, 2 element HERMS system. Someday...
