    Looking for a “Bell’s No yeah” clone or similar?

    Recently had a Bell’s No Yeah and other than it being a blond wondered if anyone had a recipe for it or something similar? It’s pretty basic with less than 20 IBU’s and only a 4.5% blond but nice & crisp and pretty neutral/balanced?

    Anyone have Pics of float switch used in HLTs? Ideas?

    Am wanting to automate variable HLT filling but would prefer not drilling more holes in 55 gal electric HLT? A float switch using a 12vdc wall plug, a solenoid valve and a float bypass switch sounds like the way to go, but wondering how best to set up. Anyone have pics of their's?

    Anyone ever have this problem?

    I'm almost done w/ v2.0 of my e-brewery and am having an issue with primarily the Auberins PT100-L50M14 rtd probe. I drilled a hole in the side of my BK for the body & probe itself, but the PID shows an incorrect temperature. At the beginning, the displayed temp is close, but as the...
