I realize this is a dated post, but did you ever find a resolution for this? I replaced the diode and used a new buffer solution (the correct one) with no effect. I suspect I have a malfunctioning unit. It worked initially, but now see Ec when attempting to calibrate and the unit’s pH reading...

Looking for a glycol chiller. In Chicago IL. M

I use a DIY controller running craftbeerpi. The tv is showing the controller display with the temps and element/pump indicators. The iPad mounted beneath it is where I toggle between the controller (the controller is wireless and connected to Wifi so i can use my phone, ipad, etc to monitor from...

Yea I'm monitoring it. I was originally going to undermount the sink which would have given me a thicker edge but decided I didnt want to spend the time polishing it up and went with the drop in. I tested it after I cut and it held 180 lbs at the edge of the cut no problem. I'll reinforce -...

Yes I cut it down. I bought the 6x4 and used the other 6x2 for another bar counter a while back - so I had this 6x2 conveniently lying around.

Its 6ft x 2ft. I cut it from butcher block purchased at Lowes and treated with Howard butcher block oil and conditioner. I used black iron pipe for legs. The sink is a Kraus all-in-one commercial.

Mash out...

And the inaugural brew is on...

Here's mine. Shallow stainless sink with added pull out faucets for filtered and cold tap water. Main faucet used for hot water and cleaning.

I would leave the temp probe out of solution so the probe stays warmer and keeps the freezer chilling. You can then rely on your controller to turn the fridge on or off to manage the glycol temp. Cheers.

Yes. I took out the middle screw in the bottom of the vortex to drain any condensation. The hole is directly over the sink so I dont have to run drain pipe/tube.

Nothing like a blank canvas! My philosophy on any home design/remodel job is to jot down all of my needs/wants in priority and try to knock them out in threes. Start with the 3 most important things and figure out how to best make them work together. Then move on to the next three given the...

Few more updates over the last couple weeks... I've always been mildly annoyed switching tubes around between my faucet, water filter, kettle, plate chiller and fermenter when wanting to run hot, cold, or filtered water. So I decided to add two more pull-out faucets with quick disconnects to my...

Disposal and exhaust fan controller are wired and storage cabinets are in place. Now we just have the 240V outlet (certified electrician to install), mounted monitor and controller left to finish the major components of the kit. Brew day is near. M

It is a folding shelf bracket. I used the below. It seems to be sturdy enough but time will tell if it holds up. YUMORE Folding Shelf Brackets 12", Max Load: 330lb Heavy Duty Stainless Steel Collapsible Shelf Bracket for Table Work Bench, Space Saving DIY Bracket, Pack of 2...

Thanks. The wall outlet that the strip is plugged into is a GFCI outlet. Would the shock buster still add value or would it be redundant?

I probably would have preferred the sideboard on the left but the location of the dryer vent forced the fan on that side and the hood on the other. I thought about a deeper commercial sink but the lower depth means less bending over and lifting of equipment/pots up and down. The guiding...

Thanks. As am I - we’re getting close now.

Starting to get things organized... Also the pulley bracket is installed. Next up is to wire the fan controller, mount the tv/controller monitor, and build a mobile "brew day cart" that will be stored under the counter where the kegs are now.

I used 16x8x48 inch rectangular duct purchased at my local Orange/Blue. I added end caps and sheared off the bottom to make the hood. Then cut a 6" hole in the end cap for the fan. I mounted it with an outdoor lighting cable kit with wire and tension hooks. The butcher block I got from my...
