No. Changing the mounting of the compressor was one of the modifications he did to the refrigerator. Post #3

I had the same thoughts as schelden. I'm an "IT guy" by trade dealing anything from computer hardware trouble shooting to network VPNs. That being said a BCS seemed much more difficult to build and setup. It probably isn't but turning a physical switch or punching a button to set a...

No just 3 2x4 joists. You can see the line of screws in the 1x6s.

Small update. Due to another project I'm working on the surge from the manual mode boil would not work. But I also use my boil kettle to heat strike water so I wanted to keep the functionality of the PID. So I added a TRIAC controller. I swapped out a 2-way switch for a 3-way switch to flip...

I'm with Jeff.

Keezer is looking very nice. Your talk of losing 2 freezers brings up a suggestion. My fermentation freezer stopped cooling so I spent weeks hunting another one down on craigs list. Then my "new" keggerator stopped cooling. I figured it was time for me to learn how to recharge/fix these...

The way it reads to me is it gives a smoother power to the element which gives you a consistent rolling boil unlike a PID where the boil surges as the element is turned on and off. Is that the way the way you read it?

Bummer I would need the bigger one. I do mainly 10g batches. I'll be waiting to test the bigger version. Bobby the bling factor on that thing is top notch.

I'm in for the hopback / filter.

I'm all in.
