Fat finger typing. Yes 309 not 308... However, DO NOT use those that I spoke of? It's a burner surface on a homebrew bench, not an ASME B31.3 coded and inspected pipe run! Use 308 or ER70-S anything and you will likely never see a problem! I haven't during my 30 years as a Engineer...

GeorgiaMead, The steel mesh you are referring to is called "expanded metal". You can get it in mild steel as well as stainless. For small stuff I use onlinemetals.com Stainless will take the heat no problem. Mild steel will to but degrades after many series of heating/cooling. Custom grill...

Never understood sour beers. I "won" two baskets of select sour beers at a fund raiser. I was trying to increase the bids on the baskets and ended up "buying" them. So I tried 15 different sours. Three were good enough to purchase again. Not a good percentage. Still don't understand the want for...

So... currently I am soldering wires to the end of my TMP36s and making up the thermowells to take this one step further. I haven't posted the code yet because I have three versions and forgot which one is working well. I will post the code I am using as well as the temperature sensors that I...

So, for those new to micro-processors... as I test temp sensors on a UNO I have got good results using a TMP36 and simple code (Will post the code I am using later for anyone interested). I was testing using 3 temp sensors at the same time. Will be testing DS18B20s next. The TMP 36s were all...

So, after the first attempt setting up the wifi on the Yun I bought proved that I had a faulty microprocessor the replacement arrived yesterday! Set up was a breeze as it was supposed to be. So now that is working I can continue down this path. I have acquired some DS18B20's and LM35's from...

Good recommendations and information thank you! I think I have some LM35's at work I can play with. Think I am going to obtain a few different types of temp sensors and see what happens for me. Empirical knowledge is what I seek and guidance is always helpful. Will post my experiences...

So I have an Arduino Yun on the way. Should be here early in the week. Temp sensors... Can anyone guide me to a temp sensor that works well that does not require a cold junction compensate or an amplifier? Currently I am looking at the LM35 for temp sensing. BUT... I have never held one so I...

That is one of the nicest simple yet complex brewing system I have ever seen! Very well done!

Saw your post late this evening but will be checking this out. Look forward to you updates!

At first I was going to add gas solenoids for heat control and really go to town. As I used my Brew Bench it became really easy to use and consistent in the temp. I could walk away for 20 minutes and the temp only move half a degree. As time went on it became useless to add too many bells and...

So I have plans to build a system for monitoring my Brew Bench operations. What this means is temps for 3 kettles, pump on and off, temps relation to time and recording of this data (Software) and anything else that I can come up with in the future. I want to control and monitor all parameters...

Yep. Dragging this thread up again. Ordered on several occasions from Brewers Hardware. Large dollar orders. 95% of all items filled on each order. Doesn't bother to follow up with an idea when it will be 100%. Why is that a problem? The 5% of the parts that don't show puts the entire project on...

When I started brewing again with my sons we didn't have all the equipment set up. For months we were drinking room temperature and under carbed beer. At first we really didn't care for it but wasn't going to NOT drink it. Then it finally sunk in that we could taste more flavors when warmer...

I will take this slow. In reference to the above quote, yes I believe you are correct that a cleaner description would be just sour. One would believe that a "rotten grapefruit" would taste just disgusting. This "sour" isn't disgusting however it's unpleasant. It is something you experience on...

We have a chili fest in the neighborhood so I am really busy with that today. Tomorrow I will follow up with details and let Jacob Marley's thoughts sink in as that is a lot to ponder. I will also post ingredients and processes. Thanks all for your help!

I don't dry hop at all currently or in the past with these batches that became a problem. It is possible that my municipality water changed slightly, however the water quality report (Sampled in 2012) does not state magnesium levels. They do have the following statement in the report: The...

I have one bag of "Motueka" (Yep, spelled it wrong) and I opened it and I believe it smells pretty normal so maybe that isn't old. My refrigerator is pretty cold and my brew store puts them in a fridge so I have been doing the same. Maybe I should change my ways with that. All beers go...
