Nice Job. When does the fan run? Is it all the time or just when the compressor comes on?

Beautiful work! Can you elaborate on why you put the sensor in the WLP tube? I'm sure is has something to do with how it responds to the cold air but I'd love to hear a full explanation. Thanks.

It works for me even if I access the forum from another computer and don't login.

I recently spent some time thinking about how I move hoses around on brew day and realized that with the addition of a three way valve I could eliminate one pump and never have to move a hose from one kettle to another. My system is all modular and not mounted to a stand so that I can break...

I was going to use this one... http://www.pexsupply.com/Robertshaw-785-001-24-120-VAC-Automatic-Pilot-Relight-Kit Not sure if it is what they use but very similar. I priced out building one of these myself and while the parts, to build something less accurate, are less expensive I didn't...

Ron I will probably get a top tier eventually but right now my MT and BK just sit on the Blichmann burners. The HLT sits on a stand so I can use gravity to sparge. It's nice and modular so at the end of the brew day I can put it all away. My fear of the top tier is that it will take too...

I looked into building a controller using a PID, RTD, solenoid valve and a re-igniter, like the ones Blichmann uses but to be honest by the time you use the quality components that the TOP controller uses you aren't really saving much money. Then you have to find an enclosure to mount it all...

Any owners out there?

Hi everyone, I recently purchased a Blichmann Temp Controller otherwise known as a Tower of Power. I didn't purchase the tower portion and built something of my own. This was built with an old music stand. It's plumbed just like the TOP but without the flow meter. I was wondering what...

I joined. The next meeting is February 20th. http://www.sodz.org/2012/02/01/february-meeting/ Maybe I will see you guys there.

Also try proflowdynamics.com . I purchased all my QDs from them. Very reasonably priced and easy to work with.... http://store.proflowdynamics.com/modules/store/-Couplings-for-Homebrewers-_C12074.cfm

Hi everyone, My name is Chris Young. Just started brewing about six months ago and I'm jumping into all grain right off the bat. I'm hoping to find a club in my area and network with other home brewers. The first style I'm wanting to perfect is strong Belgian Ales. I'll move on to other...

Hi Chad, I'm a new brewer and live in Pickerington. Do you know of any good clubs in our area? Chris
