I like practical analogies. Think of the headspace of a keg as the lobby at a concert venue and the beer as the actual performance...

A corny keg will definitely suck air in through the lid under a mild vacuum. It's made to seal under pressure but the bale handle is...

Sure, gas struts will work fine. The challenge working will these is finding the correct length and mounting points but in general, the...

Did you cool the sample down to room temp before you took the reading? I target a pH of 5.3 to 5.35 because even if I miss a little...

I'm on the fence about it to be honest. Brulosophy: Out of the three previous xBmts we’ve performed on this variable, the results from...

Sure, but then I would heed the advice given in post #11. Just because there is power on the terminals doesn't mean it's getting to the...

That already looks like it's pretty well suited for dropping in over the top without butchering the cooler wall. Show a wider angle...

This suggests that you just effectively extended your mash conversion time which was the real reason the gravity was higher but you did...

I know this is an obvious thing to say but there's a learning curve that can be overcome in time. The module is more complex than it...

Nothing is going to adhere over the long term. Every possible effort should be made to avoid cutting the cooler. The compressor itself...

The first obvious place to check is to put a volt meter on the 120v/240v screw terminals connected to the PID module itself. Either you...

the way that PID based controllers modulate output is by pulsing the current flow (what you are calling duty cycle). If mOUT is set to...

Cups or jars with either wine or apple cider vinegar and a drop of dish soap (no more than one drop). Instead of a flat paper with...

I would definitely recommend a couple mods. Hook up that drain hose near the end of the boil. Before you turn the cooling water on...

Persistent infections are much more likely coming from the cold side of the brewery or at least from a hot side hose that doesn't get...
