I am in the process of building a professional keg washer and would really like to automate it. It will consist of 10 solenoid valves and 2 pumps. The heating element will be controlled separately by a PID. I would like to use Click by KOYO and a CMore screen, however I am not familiar with the...

Hey yall, I am trying to install a motorized ball valve on my hlt to keep it full with a float level switch. The motorized ball valve I purchased, http://misolie.com/showshop.asp?id=450, has 5 wires and is rated for 110v ac. I am trying to get this to have the valve stay open normally and close...

Is it possible to hook 1 pump up to 2 sides of a 3 way switch using 1 side as manual control, 1 side as off, and the 3rd side as an auto control having a float switch control the pump? Thank you

Has anyone had any luck attaching the stainless float switch from oscsys.com to a tri clamp to use in a kettle? I have some really nice equipment that I do not need to penetrate the side of the kettle when I have a dedicated triclamp port for the float switch. Thanks! Nick

Has anyone ever used this? Also, would this simply go between the PID and SSR on the DC side or is it more complicated than that? Thanks.

How would I wire an illuminated selector switch coming from an auberins PID before the SSR? Is that possible? Wiring these switches for pumps is easy since it is all 110v, however coming off the PID is VDC. What should I do? Also, are float switches suppose to be on the AC or DC side, before...

Is anyone currently using a plate chiller in their HERMS setup? I am pondering using my plate chiller instead of adding a coil in a control tank. Any thoughts? Thanks. However, I am inquiring about this for a 3 bbl setup.

Ive been brewing for 5 years now and this is my first attempt at a sour. I decided I wanted to do a Flanders Brown. These oud bruins are my favorite. I used the Roselare yeast and pitched right in. My problem is I never got around to transferring off the primary yeast cake. Now stop, do not...

Has anyone used these fermenters before? They look pretty legit. http://www.tank-depot.com/product.aspx?id=854

I want to brew a flanders red. I want to either use roselare the whole time, or use abbey in the primary, then roselare in the secondary. My only problem is if I use roselare the whole time, when would I add the fruit? also, If I plan on using french oak chips, would I add the oak chips the same...

Hey guys, I brewed a saison back in feb and it came out awesome. 1.072 OG, fermented 7 days to 1.004. This was Wyeast French Saison yeast. I love this stuff. Ok this time, I didn't do a big enough starter and it only dropped to 1.025 after 7 days. I want to do another starter with French saison...

I was looking on their website and found this controller. Love TSWB. It has a high and low set point and also has a probe input for sounding when water is low. Has anyone used this controller? I was thinking this would work in a HLT. I am thinking about calling Dwyer Instr. and asking them about...

In my last batch, my pump gave me trouble. The fan isn't spinning. I don't know what to do. It won't pump anything, just hums. I can't really brew til i fix this!! What do I do? I did oil and no luck.

I am a firm believer in cold conditioning. I cold crash and cold condition all of my beers. I also force carbonate all my beers. I recently have been wrestling with the thoughts of my belgian beers and big beers. Even though I have award winning belgian recipes, would it be more appropriate to...

I was force carbing 2 beers at once, never had a problem before. Except this time it was 2 different types of beer, rye pale ale and dubbel. The dubbel is quite stronger than the ryepa. They both have the exact same level in the kegs. When i tapped both kegs, the rye had quite a bit more...

Has anyone used these redfish sensors? i am curious about the software and how extensive it is. Does it only log temps or can it actually control outputs? Thanks.

Has anyone had issues that i should be aware of with the sanyo SR-4912M? I am going to buy one off craigslist for with a bunch of other stuff for a great price but am reading totally mixed reviews. Thanks.

Has anyone had difficulties with the liquid disconnect not attaching to the corny? I cannot get it to snap tight. It will fit on other kegs but will not go on to a newly filled keg. I just disassembled for cleaning and put it back together. My other question is that the gas and the liquid posts...
