    Georgia Free stuff. Athens, GA

    Giving away stuff. Must sacrifice home brewing for an older hobby (pipe organ in basement) that needs money thrown at it. After it's playing, may look into wine making. Would appreciate someone taking all. Thanks, Keith [email protected] 150 12 oz bottles. Clean. Some new, some...

    My New High Gravity BIAB System w/PICS

    Looks great. I feel sort of stupid. You started a thread a few days prior to this one in which you mentioned this system and asked if anyone had had any experience with it. I posted back with a few threads in which folks had discussed it. Somehow it didn't register with me that you had...

    High Gravity BIAB system

    Chant124, Check out the following threads. I was interested in this system as well. https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f170/high-gravity-biab-electric-brewing-system-425681/ https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f170/biab-electric-brewing-system-383137/...

    BiaB in a keggle

    One thing you might want to consider is cutting the entire top of the keg off at the weld where the upper skirt is welded to the keg. Here's the link to what I did: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f51/keiths-cut-keggle-353760/ Later in the thread, I admit that I wish I had cut in in a way...

    Bottling with plastic PET bottles

    I like this idea. A couple questions: 1. are you reusing the plastic caps that came with the bottles or are you purchasing new one? 2. you mentioned squeezing/burping the bottles. Are you squeezing the air space out at the top such that the bottles have a little suction inside at the...

    Does your control panel HAVE to be metal?

    That looks good. I like the perforated back plate so that you don't have to drill holes for the components. But . . . I note that the back plate is plastic, so components would have to be individually grounded. If one installs DIN rails on this plastic back plate, does it suffice to connect...

    30 Gallon BIAB System

    I think that this is a great idea to consider, though. I looked at the Bayou Classic website and see kettles at 122, 142, and 162 qts (30.5, 35.5, 40.5 gal) with their requisite baskets. Given the fact that many folks have abandoned recirculation for mash temp control, I would think that the...

    30 Gallon BIAB System

    Just as it doesn't make sense to put together a setup consisting of 3 5-gallon vessels in order to perform 2-3 gallon brews, it makes me wonder if the intended goal should inform the method. When one is considering 20+ gallons and doesn't wish to perform traditional 3-vessel brewing, i would...

    Help - I'd like to use a Solid State Variable Relay in a P-J BIAB circuit

    Time2brew, I saw a posting from you in the thread on PJ Diagrams and wondered if you had built your control panel. I searched your profile and found this thread. Chances are that you've already found the answer to your question. If I'm understanding this correctly, you have the SSVR...

    System comparison for new E-Brewer

    (emphasis mine, KZ) Bobby, I'm shocked! Are you spending all your time designing and manufacturing components for everyone else, and, yet, you have no electric brewing setup for yourself? Keith

    Different E-Brewery

    Quick question, ddahl84, How high is the top of your MT? Do you stir your mash a few times during the mash? I like the idea of a 2-tier system, because you can get away with a single pump while the down-draining is managed by gravity. The problem, to me, is that the mashtun might be too high...

    Different E-Brewery

    Steve, I've been researching this method as well. I want to do BIAB, but I don't want to lift heavy bags of hot dripping grain. It's not that I'm not strong enough; I don't want to make a mess. Search the electric forum for "brutus 20". Someone out there has 2 kettles set up with each...

    Show us your panel

    Broham, It's been a year since your post. Did you get this built? if so, where did you get the box? I saw that panel on the Auberins website a long time ago. I cannot find that particular box anywhere on their site, though. I like their single PID box that sits on the table, but I...

    Infinate Power Control ?

    Sounds like a great idea. As Bobby_M alluded to in an earlier post, essentially ALL the intermediate-level panels rely solely upon the PID for temp control. I just noticed that you've been a HBT member for at least 5 years and have over 1000 posts, so this isn't your first rodeo. What is...
