I bought an eDrometer early on and have used it extensively, along with my Tilt and Hanna digital refractometer. When I went to use it today, it appeared to be leaking:eek:. Closer inspection showed the silicone tubing was cracking near the entrance to the device. I went to my trusty computer...

I have two trays and six racks for the standard long-neck and stubby bottles, and one tray and three racks for bomber-style bottles. One tray and three racks for $25, buy it all for $60. Las Vegas Valley local pickup only. PM me for more info

Here's my take on a "swamp-cooled" setup: The condenser is cooled with about 3 gallons of water recirculated with a fountain pump and an attic fan.

Way back in 2012 I made an Insulated Bottom Drain Mash Tun out of an old keg. It's served me well, but a little over a year ago, I replaced it with a 25Gal mash tun and it's been sitting in my shed ever since. If anyone in the Las Vegas area would like to come by and pick it up, It's available...

So, I inadvertently reversed my input and output hoses on my RIMS tube...:eek: I corrected the problem pretty quickly and proceeded with my brew day. After breaking down my RIMS tube, I discovered that there had apparently been a bubble that exposed part of the heating element for some period...

For some reason, my sixtel sanke keg from a local brewery has started foaming excessively. If was pouring fine, when my temp controller on my keezer got stuck on, and the beer froze. I replaced the controller, and allowed the keg to thaw. That was two weeks ago. Ever since I've had the foaming...

Nothing special, I just converted the freezer I previously used as a fermentation chamber. All of the hoses are 1/4" flare, so it's easy to change out connectors. I'm making a little controller that will measure the top and bottom temperatures in the keezer, and turn on some fans when...

LOCAL PICKUP ONLY - SHIPPING NOT AVAILABLE I have two sanke kegs that have been converted into bottom-drain mash tuns. No additional hardware, keg only - $100 each I also have a New-In-Box CraftaBrew Catalyst Fermentor - $100 If you want all three items - $275 Local pickup only -...

Any thoughts?

I was just setting up my system when I notice what seemed to be some discoloration inside the valve. I disassembled it normally, and noticed more discoloration in the stem area of the ball. this led to a COMPLETE disassembly of the unit, only to discover some serious nastiness in the stem. I...

Does anyone have any experience with this? I'm interested in getting into kegging, but I'd like to go with the standard sanke connections if possible. The single-use inner lining and ease-of-cleaning appeals to my lazy side. I had considered using stainless kegs, but the...

I've been playing around with the Adafruit HUZZAH ESP8266, and the ESP8266 Arduino IDE add-on package, and it's pretty darned slick. :ban: As an exercise, I threw together a fairly simple WiFi Temperature Controller that uses Avahi for network discovery, 1-Wire DS18B20 Digital Thermometers...

My TeensyNet Project may be a bit too much for those of you that just want to be able to read the temperature of up to four fermentation chambers, keezer's, etc. I understand. :D Lately I've been creating my own 1-wire devices, using the Teensy ARM boards from PJRC.com. One of those 1-wire...

If you've been following my TeensyPi project, you'll kmow that one of my reasons for pairing the Teensy 3.0 with a Raspberry Pi was to create a scalable networked controller, using the relatively inexpensive RPi to handle the network and graphical front end. With the advent of newer and...

I've got my latest networked temperature controller up and running, it's a Raspberry Pi board interfaced with a Teensy 3.0 32-bit ARM Cortex mini-board that allows you to monitor and control up to 36 1-Wire temperature sensors and switches in up to 12 different actions. It is capable of running...

I have two large upright freezers in my garage that I use as beer coolers. Both use an E-bay aquarium temperature controller, to keep my beers at about 50°. Since I have Rolladen Security Shutters installed on all of the exterior doors and windows of my home, including the door between the...

To put the false bottom in the Mash Tun before adding grain :o I finally got the remainder of the parts to complete Barney, my weldless brewstand. I had leak-tested everything, run some preliminary tests, and everything looked good to go, so I decided to make some beer. I just picked up a...

I was working on installing my pumps on Barney last sunday. I have two chuggerpumps and a march, all retrofitted with chuggerpumps' center-inlet 3/4" NPT SS heads, which are outfitted with 1" Tri-clamp adapters. While testing the pumps and hoses, one of the chuggerpumps started leaking from the...

I've been following other brewstand threads on this site, and was envious of the welded stainless stands, something I can't do, as I never learned to weld. Imaging how happy I was when I stumbled upon the Weldless Brewstand Thread here. Now this is something I'm willing to attempt!! I've been...
