    Virginia Utah Bio Solid Sided Basket

    Hmm hadn't heard of that site before, the fab job does look really nice. If it was a bit bigger I'd would've been interested myself

    Exhaust Vent Length

    do you really need 420CFM? that seems like quite a bit of air movement?? in a 6in flex duct that thing is gonna howl especially if you add in a non-sweep 90 or two The fan says 420CFM at 0 DP, so you'll never get that much airflow. To figure out how much you would gett you need to measure out...

    Brewhardware or Stilldragon?

    I have both element connectors, and I prefer the stilldragon housing, it just is a lot beefier than the hotpod and I also like the extra abuse it can take without compromising the housing. The hotpods arent watertight either if I remember correctly, whereas my still dragon is sealed For the...

    Triclamp pump head

    Im hoping to get one used from somewhere, I prefer it without the motor so I can use a DC drive to adjust speed as needed One a side note, I have been meaning to ask you how you handle the boil logic on your automated system. Are you true auto, or have a manual adjustment that you have...

    Triclamp pump head

    Im on the hunt for a triclamp pump head (with or preferably without the motor) that has a 1 or 1.5" triclamp on the discharge The only ones Ive been able to find are 2" or bigger on the discharge

    RIMS the concept?

    PID loops are used on huge industrial systems to maintain temp, level, etc to a fraction of a percentage of the SP, you just have to be good at loop tuning, which very very few are, PID tuning is an art in of itself due in large part to the complexity of the processes we are controlling and lack...

    Flow meter into HLT to control water volumes

    It not that difficult to do what you propose, it is essentially what Im doing as well as another very well documented build (bucks electric brewery) on here. Though I using an arduino may be a bit more difficult than using a PLC off of ebay. You can get brand new flow meters for ~100$ or...

    Possible Electric build with silicone heat mats

    Over in the automation section Trimixidiver1 uses band heaters on his mashtun, looking on ebay you can get one relatively inexpensively to wrap around a keggle https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f235/bucks-electric-brewery-479895/index4.html you can see what he uses 1/2 way down the page

    Bucks Electric Brewery

    Huh, I thought in one of the pics I saw a float in your BK As to your question, boiling is boiling right? you can have a more or less vigorous boil that alters the evap rate, but wont affect the temp. I think Im leaning towards a pressure transducer on the BK. While the density will...

    Bucks Electric Brewery

    Ive been thinking about this right now and Im wondering if it would be worth while to put in some logic to ensure the boil off I want. I was thinking about watching the level as the boil progresses and if there is not enough evap the heating element would ramp up a bit. Are you planning on...

    PT100 Connection to panel suggestions?

    With thermocouples your also supposed to compensate for a cold junction (each wire connection/solder/XLR fittings/etc) if its not at the PID where the signal is being read I rarely ever seen thermocouples used, in fact Im pretty sure at the industrial site I work on that all we use are RTD's

    Volume Sensing - What are You using

    Watch ebay and you can pick them up for 100 or less Trimixdiver - what is the resolution on the unit you have?

    Butterfly or Diaphragm

    Any brand in particular? I often see Gemu on there but they usually have an odd piping configuration and they are used - though I guess I could easily cut off the weird piping And are the valves you see for that price new or used?
