Hey guys, I'm in the process of having a new house built and one of the options was to have a sink rough-in installed in the garage. Their will be a drain, hot, and cold water lines run into the garage and capped off ready to have a sump sink installed. My question for your guys is what is...

Well it looks like I need to sell all of the brewing gear unfortunately. I have listed some of the equipment available with some prices but everything is negotiable. Based in Upstate NY not far from Syracuse or PA. Black Heart Brewery Going Out of Business Sale...

As some of you might know, I love brewing. Unfortunitally I dont have as much time to brew as I would like and brewing on the scale I was previously just isn't working out for me. I have a two car garage/brewery that houses my 10gal HERMS system thats electronically controlled with a brewtroller...

Hey guys, we are working on two new fermentation freezers to hold our new Brewhemoth conicals. We have very similar Kenmore standing freezers to what deep six did here. https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f51/my-new-fermentation-cabinets-66926/ However, we have a digital controller on our model...

We made a video of our current 10 gallon brew system using the new BrewTroller 4.0. This video was featured on Make Magizines Make:Live web broadcast as well as youtube channel and podcast feed. Thought you guys might like to watch it too...

So we bought a few plastic sankey kegs and now we need to clean them. The plan is to use a sankey keg adaptor connected to a pump and a keg of hot cleaning solution. However we dont know what speed is necessary to pump the cleaner into the kegs. One idea was to use the existing mach pumps on...

Some of you may have seen our current brew system. If not here is the thread. https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f11/automated-herms-system-132119/ We have hit a few snags with the system after brewing several batches on it. This is not a design flaw in the overall system but rather inadequate...

I am working on building an automated brewing system. This consists of multiple 120 and 24v AC pumps and valves. I have a prototype built and working but its time to move on to a solid and robust design. I have drawn a basic circuit diagram showing the flow of both 120v AC and 24v AC through...

Moving on from 2 wire solonid valves to 3 wire motorized ball valves. All of the connectors and wiring needs to be re-done. We're wondering if their is a NEMA or UL rated 3-pin connector thats safe for being near water/beer/high temps. We were looking on McMaster but most solutions are around...

We have been trying to brew with our new 10 gallon all grain system for a few weeks now and we have hit a few snags. All of these issues can be attributed to our valves not maintaining a good seal. We are using 12v solonid valves from Duda Diesel. seen here...

We were all set to brew a batch on our new all grain system when we noticed the outside of our insulation starting to melt and come unglued. The problem was heat from the two burners was creeping up the sides of the insulation and we could not fix it on the spot so we had to cancel the brew day...

We have been working on a new logo for our brewery, Black Heart Brewery. Here is a few versions. You will notice some slight variations between versions. The logo should work well on black or white backgrounds as well as for stickers/buttons/pint glasses and maybe even labels... 1 2...

We have a brew system we are attempting to automate via 12v DC solenoid valves. These are connected to a PC Power supply thats 400w. Each of the 10 valves pulls 1 Amp, and if you do the math, the PC power supply can theoretically support all of them on at the same time. We custom...

Just finished a short video on how to make a yeast starter. Check it out in HD.

We finally got all of the parts needed to plumb the natural gas from the wall to the burners. Hooked up the 24v transformer to A/C, wired up everything, flipped the switch... and ........ nothing The pilots work fine, the valves trigger and click open, I can see gas wafting up from the...

Hi. Making some progress with our build. Ran into a question. We have a 120 -> 24v AC transformer The inputs have your standard 3 wire AC connections. The outputs also have 3 outputs, one labeled 12v, one 24v..... Do I use the 24v one or bridge them together or what? I'm thinking it...

We begun testing our weld less fittings for our 10 gallon brewing system and found most of the fittings leaked! Here is a picture of the final configuration that we found did not cause any leaks. (the washer is representing the Keg wall) We got the parts from MoreBeer. It is what they use for...

We are looking for a 1.5" Tri-clover to 1/2" Barbed fitting. We got a price from Derrin at brewers hardware of $14 each, which is a good price for what he is selling. KLG Stainless inc. on ebay *Had* them available for $6.55 each but does not appear to have any more in stock. We have all the...

We are brewing 5 gallon batches right now, and 10 gallon AG shortly as soon as our system is completed. We want to experiment as much as possible by splitting batches up in separate fermentors. For example, we brewed a porter, we want to make it a coffee porter, we could just throw some...

We are attempting to construct a new brewing system now that our small home brewery is nearly complete. I started a new thread for this HERMS system but it is a continuation of this older thread when we were considering RIMS. Anyway here is the outline of how the system will operate...
