In case some who are interested in automated washers don’t visit the Automated Brewing forum, here is a look at an automated washer: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/forum/threads/brucontrol-brewery-control-automation-software.624198/page-94#post-8731311 Hopefully cross-posting is permitted - mods...

Hi HBT, The pictures below are of a console enclosure I had into my initial brewery build. I had every intention of putting a LCD touchscreen in it to control the brewery, but since migrated to a different control system and larger off-the-shelf touch screen. This console is FREE to someone...

Since my wife has been giving me grief about taking over the kitchen sink to I tested some hardware for an external keg & fermenter washer. This is simply a sump pump in a bucket with a riser, CIP spray ball, and a rack to sit the keg/fermenter on. Works great, except this requires manually...

Hi All, Looking for recommendations for kettles which do not have Tri-Clad bottoms to allow for bottom drains / fittings to be installed. So far I know of Bayou, Concord (and similar), Stout, Brewer's Hardware. Any others come to mind? Any manufacturers building bottom drain options into their...

I guess they want some access of their own to the craft crowd. Cracks me up that they use a bottle opener to pop a cap from a twist off bottle.

Hi HBT, One of the major benefits with electric brewing is the ability to do it indoors, and many have proven this by building sweet brew rooms. One of the major headaches with doing so, however, is the need to exhaust the steam, otherwise end up with a hot moist brew room. Electric brewing...

Ok... not exactly an electric brewing question. But with a massive Irma-cane about to rip my community a new one, I thought I could take some license. We expect to be without power for the next few weeks, but I have a 5500W generator... CODE VIOLATION UNDERSTOOD - no need to hash that. I...

Hi HBT, For those who have seen my posts on the forum, you know I have a strong interest in brewery control and automation. That led me to take on a new project. I have been working with a developer over the past few months to create a solution which I believe can dramatically improve a...

Hi HBT, I have a BCS-462 available for sale. Has worked without any hiccups, and has latest firmware, v4.0.1. In new condition, with unused power adapter and original packaging, and has been reset to defaults, so it is essentially identical to one you would receive new from the factory. No...

Hi all, I have been happy with my homemade hybrid shell chillers, but wanted something: with high flow, no possibility of clogging, and stainless steel only (no copper, etc.), are effective. Plate chillers have good flow but clog easily (I prefer to whirlpool) and are brazed with copper...

Hi HBT crew, I am working with a developer on a new Arduino based control application suited to complex small automated breweries, and I am looking for a few beta testers who would be willing to: Implement the application in a real-world environment Report back bugs/issues Provide...

Hey brew science minds... I have worked hard to make a fly sparging system that appropriately feeds water to the top of the grain bed while simultaneously draining liquid off at a slow rate. This is the goal to fly sparging as so many resources have dictated. Batch sparging requires draining...

Searched but didn't find a thread dedicated to the topic... I know most of us have DIY hardware or have bought some that contains copper, such as chillers. My rig has two CFC's, but that's the only copper in my rig. Anyway, there seems to be some increasing dialogue and evidence that copper...

Hi, I use Bru'n Water and only add salts to my mash water and would like to know if what I am doing is acceptable? I collect RO water into tanks, which I then pump into my MT for mashing and then for sparging. This makes it impractical to salt/acidify the mash water and sparge water...

Did a Yuengling clone by merging a couple of recipes. Color is spot on and I could read moby dick through it. Thick white head and great lacing. Slightly more hop bitterness and a tad drier than Yeungling, but I will happily drink the hell out of this. I would say my most complete, successful...

Hi HBT Brothers and Sisters, I have learned so much incredible information via this forum, I thought it a good time to post up my rig and learnings as it may possibly help others. This is a 2 Vessel 50A electric rig that is mostly built, though upgrades will always be ongoing. It is similar...

Hi HBT peeps. I have learned so much from the community I thought it high time to give back a little bit. When I started brewing about a year ago, the first thing I felt I was lacking was a legit chiller to cool my wort. I was putting my pot in a large bucket of ice water, which was so... so...

Hi peeps, I have been using some of the different water calculators (Beersmith, EZ Water, Brewers Friend, Brun water.). Are there any worthwhile that automatically calculate the amount of each salt to match the desired profile? Beersmith is the only one as far as I can tell but it is severely...

Hi Guys, First post here, but have been lurking for a while. I am in the process of building my personal brewery in stages. In fact, every time I brew, I learn something and make hardware changes/improvements for the next time. Recently transitioned from stovetop BIAB to larger electric BIAB...
