    Ultimate Corny Keg Fermenter: Internal Coils and Glycol (chilled water for now)

    I'm a week into the maiden voyage and a year and a half into the build (lots of down time). The driving force behind this build was that I stumbled onto a water chiller that I picked up for $0.99 and had to justify its existence. I also was in procession of two, 10-gallon cornies that I enjoy...

    Neoprene Jackets

    I'm building a fermentation system out of a a chiller, 10 gallon cornies and internal coils. I'm trying to make a decision on insulation and it looks like most of the homebrew conicals are using 6mm of neoprene. I think I could easily make a few sleeves out of a sheet of it, but I wanted to...

    SSR partial fail?

    I switched my element on and it didn't seem to be doing anything. I visually checked the SSR and the led on it was flashing on and off as expected. I checked my PID settings to make sure I didn't have a low ramp up %. All settings looked fine. Plugged the element directly into the wall...

    How tight of a fit is your flat false bottom?

    I picked up a 60qt Ritebrew false bottom for an 80qt Concord kettle. It fits in the kettle, but I do have to apply some force to get it into place. This leaves me with a tight fit and some scratches on kettle finish. Is this normal?

    Accuflex Line Length for Counter Top Dispenser

    I bought a counter top chiller/dispenser of craigslist and I want to replace the beverage line, but there are a lot of new variables and I have no idea how long the lines should be. It was set up for dispensing wine, so I can not go by what came with it and the manual I found online does not...

    Anyone ever filter while gelatin is still in suspension

    I am trying to get a keg ready by Thanksgiving. Because I'm short on time and traveling with the keg, I thought it would be a good time to hit it with gelatin. In the past, I have used the Knox gelatin, but this time I opted for ld carlson and it appears to be taking its sweet time. I added...

    Can't get RIMS to autotune

    I have a DIY RIMS tube, made out of tri clamp parts, with a thermowell near the return side of the tube. I can not get the the pid to autotune. It is a Cal 3300, not an Auber, but I have seen a few references to issues also tuning to an Auber. If this is a universal issue, what has everyone...

    Flaked Corn

    Has it been confirmed whether flaked corn is safe to use or is there a cross contamination issue?

    Sinamar

    The Weyermann says that it's gluten free. Does anyone know anything about this or have any experience? Is the gluten actually being removed in the process somehow or is it just reduced below european guidelines and able to be called gluten free...

    Illinois Auber PID & Misc. (Chicago)

    I bought a bunch of stuff from Auber and then decided to go in a different direction. Auber has a 10% restocking fee, so I'd offer it for that price here before I send it back. I'm looking to sell locally, with a fast turn around so I return anything that doesn't sell soon. Price is firm...

    Illinois Swing Top Bottles (Chicago)

    I have 72+ swingtop bottles for sale. Almost all of them are green, Altenmunster bottles with ceramic tops. I think there's a Grolsch or two with a plastic top and a couple amber, Hacker-Pschorr bottles mixed in there. $10 for 12 or make me an offer or make me an offer for all of them. I...

    I have some glass, 6 gallon carboys for sale. I'm looking for $30 each, no shipping. I also have a couple 5 gallon ones that I'll let go for $25.

    Cam Lock + Sight Glass + Temp Probe = My solution in search of a problem

    I decided to use cam locks to attach my Brewhardware sight glass and temperature probe to my keggle. If this has been done before, I couldn't find it an example of it. Most likely because it really isn't necessary, but I shouldn't actually call it a solution in search of a problem. This set...

    A cigarette lighter on my panel?

    Time for some outside the box thinking... I've decided to go with an non Auber PID, which needs a 12-24VDC power supply. I have 1 chugger pump and was planning on getting something like the 12V US Solar one at some point. Since I will already be converting some of the power to DC, why not...

    Any benefit to having a main power switch and a separate power switch for the PID?

    Does the PID need it's own on/off switch? I think I know the answer to this, but I'd rather ask than be sorry. Is there any benefit to having a main power switch and a separate power switch for the PID or is that redundant? In my original design, I didn't have a main switch, but I had a...

    Illinois Control Panel Enclosure (Chicago)

    I bought this enclosure when I planned to build a single PID controller, but soon decided to add a second PID to control a RIMS. Space inside is going to be tighter than I thought, so I will need to move my SSR to a sub panel or sell this one and go larger. I think this would make a really great...

    Could someone review my wiring diagram?

    I'm building a 120v boil kettle and RIMS system. I have two dedicated, 20A outlets. There will be two 2000w elements in the boil kettle and a 1500w element in the RIMS tube. I have included a 3 way switch so that one of the boiler elements is switched off when the RIMS element is turned on...

    Slector Switch w/ LED: Can the LED be powered by the PID Alarm?

    Would it be possible to tie the LED in the auberins SW16 switch to the PID alarm so the switch would still light up if you have the buzzer switch in the off position?
