    MyBrewBot?

    Thanks for the update - sorry to hear it hasn't magically improved. I really like their concept and was hoping for the best... -AD

    MyBrewBot?

    Hey Volare, It's now 2019 and I'm still curious how MyBrewBot is working out... Any updates?

    Inkbird IPB-16 PID Controller Inquiry

    I also see the display fluctuations - however only when the unit is in Fahrenheit mode. I don't see these fluctuations when it is set for Celsius. Perhaps that means it's just a display artifact? Odd and annoying, but we should all be metric by now anyhow. :) -AD

    MyBrewBot?

    Well, I must say the promise of this device is very compelling, sorry to hear it's not quite ready for prime time. Thanks for being a guinea pig on this!

    MyBrewBot?

    Any updates? Very curious to hear about your experience with fermentation - if you've tried that yet. -AD

    William's Brewing SS Counterflow Chiller

    Hey BM, Did you get the Williams SS chiller? If so, how did it perform vs. the Chilus Convolutus? I have the SS and have wondered how they compare w/r/t/ chilling time. Thanks! -AD

    Danby Fermentation Chamber - DAR044

    Thank for the post. Do you think a 6 gal carboy would fit if the door was modified? -AD

    Automated bottling

    Stainlessbrown, Can you share a part number on the IFM Efector sensor? Any idea what the ballpark pricing is on this guy? Thanks! -AD

    Better cooling efficiency with counterflow wort chiller

    KW - Good points about avoiding laminar flow at low wort flow rates. No doubt I'm running into this myself. That said, I imagine there's a limit whereby running the pump wide-open will be so fast that cooling efficiency will drop off...? I'm also curious if anyone has creative ideas on how to...

    Partial DIY Fermentation Temp Control Using Cool Zone Cooling Jacket

    Very interesting... I'd looked into this earlier but couldn't swallow the price, but if you could get a deal, it's looks pretty slick. Have you tried cold-crashing your fermentor with this? -AD

    Partial DIY Fermentation Temp Control Using Cool Zone Cooling Jacket

    Yes, I'd agree: definitely a closed-loop system as the submersible pump wouldn't work without a reservoir. There are quite a few options for inline pumps for liquid-cooled PC systems.

    Partial DIY Fermentation Temp Control Using Cool Zone Cooling Jacket

    My thought was to replace the reservoir entirely with a smaller radiator inside the fridge/freezer. This is certainly much more space-efficient. If the radiator has better thermal transfer characteristics than a bucket or corny keg, then perhaps it would work despite the smaller size...?

    Partial DIY Fermentation Temp Control Using Cool Zone Cooling Jacket

    Has anyone considered using a PC cooler radiator in a fridge/freezer instead of a large bucket of water?

    Better cooling efficiency with counterflow wort chiller

    TJ, I've had nearly the identical experience (and arrived at the same final methods) with my stainless CFC unit from Williams. I had thought maybe the poor performance was due to the difference in heat transfer between copper and SS. However, given your copper experience is nearly identical...
