Any recommendations for a good Quick Disconnect for the DS18B20 Sensors?

I'll move it away from the larger heater for now, and work on purchasing a lasko. Moving it further away should help with how fast it heats up. I'm looking to go as high as 85 degrees with this beer. It's a saison using ECY08, which is very heat tolerant.

The fridge probe is further away, in the center, so the reading would always be cooler cause the stainless steel is getting heated primarily. I'll take a picture of it later when I get off from work. What are people's opinions of using heating mats/belts as oppose to the space heater? I'll...

I finally got my brewpi running, but the range in which the chamber is cooling/heating is much greater than other charts I've been seeing online. I believe it's due to my set up, but I just wanted to clarify. I have a commercial kegerator that can fit three sanke kegs that I ferment in. I have...

I followed the steps to password protect my brewpi page, since I'm looking to access it remotely, and I got a 500 internal error. :/

I plan on moving my Brewpi to another location. Anything I need to know regarding the webserver? I know I'll probably have to change the IP address.

I recently purchased two STC-1000 for two ferm chambers. One is a commercial kegerator that I can fit 3, half barrel sankes into, and the other is a Danby fridge that can fit one Sanke. For the larger kegerator, I want to recirculate the air inside the fridge whenever the controller kicks on...

I would like to filter my ESB prior to kegging, but I'm afraid the 1 micron filter will strip some of the bitterness and hop character (flavor and aroma). Is this something I should be worried about?

I believe this will probably be the method I use. I was originally standoffish on purchasing a PID, since I wanted to keep the control buildout cheap, but I do believe it is the best method. Thank you guys very much for all of your help and advice. It is greatly appreciated.

This is the part that bums me. I don't want to install a temp probe into my pot. I would rather just control the power output to my element. I have an analog thermometer in my pot already, and would prefer to just dial down (or stop) the heat once I've reached the temps I need.

A homebrew shop by me has had success heating their mash for decoctions using a heating element, with no scorching of the mash. They brew on a 15 gal system, based off of your build, Kal. However, They have a separate pot and 5500W element that they control manually for their decoction mashes...

You're probably right, AnOLDUR, but I already purchased the BoilCoil, which has subsequently led me to this conversation lol.

Would anyone have a good diagram for a reliably PWM+SSR that would work for the boilcoil I listed?

I just wanted to revisit this thread to discuss the method I found works best for removing ALL crud inside my sanke fermenters. I know it's been discussed on here a handful of times, but I just wanted to be one more person who endorses the Hot Oxyclean/PBW method. I've made it a habit to...

I use PID + SRR for my electric HERMS. Don't get me wrong, I love it. However, I don't want to mount a temp probe to my 7.5 gal pot. Plus, since I'll be teaching extract brewing classes with it, I don't want guests to feel like they something as sophisticated as a PID controller. The PWM...

And that would work for a 120V, 2250 W heating element?

Can one purchase a PWM that would work with what I've posted? I don't have the knowledge to build one myself.

The description of the BoilCoil on Adventures in Homebrewing Link to the BoilCoil model that I purchased: http://www.homebrewing.org/Blichmann-120V-Boil-Coil-10-gal_p_4976.html However, as a cautious brewer, I would be stirring the entire time regardless.

I was thinking of using this pot as a decoction pot and 5 gal extract pot (I teach homebrew classes locally). I normally brew on a 10 gal, 3 vessel electric system (modeled after Kal's build). Since I'm looking to heat mash, I figured a controller would be good to dial down the temps when I...

I just recently purchased the 10gal, 120V Boil Coil created by blichmann, and I'm trying to develop a controller that will allow me to dial back the power without the use of a PID. I found this DIY Electric Heating Element Controller on HBT, but it's for a 2000W element. The 10gal, 120V Boil...
