One of my MYPIN TA4's is reading about 8-10 degrees off the actual temperature. Wondering if people have had trouble with these and if there is an "auto calibrate" kind of feature or if there's a way to manually dial them in to the real temp.

Here's the progress on converting my old brutus10 system with no control panel to a 30amp HERMS with 3 Keggles.

Not sure how to get the resolution any better on this but here's a pdf and a JPG of the diagram. Note: XLR receptacles are not in the wiring diagram but they will be grounded and wired to the PID's obviously. Timer: not sure how to wire the alarms on the PID's if I'm not using an...

On accident I ordered my yellow element selector lights first and then Amazon and the person behind the curtain watching all of my buying habits recommended the blue, green and red lights I need for power, pumps and alarms. Problem is that they are all 240v lights instead of the 120v that...

Seems like everyone enjoys a new build around here so I figured I would add mine to the mix. Not because I think I have something amazing to offer to the conversation but so there's more pics to look at to pass the time away. Pics in order are 1. Old Brutus 10 system w/ 1 pump 2...

This may sound like a really stupid question to those who paid attention in physics class...but here goes anyway. I found these water proof enclosures at the AxMan (for those who don't live in the twin cities, this place is awesome!) for 19.99 that appear to be used for electrical purposes...

Got a Brutus 10 build that I made a few years back and am trying to upgrade to electric. She's all manual, no control panel as of yet. 3 burners, all 23 Jet Tip Propane burners Gas is plumbed in the back bar w/ no leaks. Comes with heat shield, spot to attach pumps, low pressure...

Looking to convert an all manual brutus10 to Electric. IF YOU HAD TO...what could you cut from Kal's design on the control panel and still get the job done? Not looking for FULLY automated but rather something that will read MLT and HLT temps, 2 pumps, HERMS, fly sparging. I'm thinking I...

Got a Pale Ale going that I've had in primary for a week now. Usually the krausen drops by now and airlock stops and I transfer to secondary for dry hops. Question: Krausen is still present, is there any reason why I shouldn't transfer to secondary or would you wait until all activity is...

making a brutus 10 build and having some trouble with the welds for the gas lines. a friend of mine and I built it and he did the welds but upon testing them all of the welds for the back "gas" pipe and the couplers that got welded in all leak. How hard is it to make air tight welds? Any...

On my way to a HERMS unit with 3 keggles and trying to figure out how to do it with one pump. Question: if you're recirculating your mash the entire 60-90 minutes why would you go through the extra step of sparging (again, because aren't you effectively sparging the entire mash cycle?)...

Primary fermentation in the fridge at 48 degrees for 8 days. Fermentation seemed to stop in the fridge after a few days and when I took it out for the diaycetl rest (24hrs at room temp) the fermenting started up again. Couple questions: Is my primary temp too cold? When I transfer to...

brewed the surly furious clone from midwest and it said my initial reading should be 1.060-1.068 and mine was actually 1.080. Why would I get a higher reading and should I be concerned? thx
