Freddyb I will get some posted for as soon as I can. Unfortunately the only ones I have at the moment are the bare bones. It's still kind of cool to sparks fly from the welder. :D

Thanks Samc and Brewbeemer I didn't really think of that. After looking up some info on the BCS 460 controller, that seems like what I am trying to do but I don't have access to a computer nor do I think that is the greatest idea.

I wanted the two sensors, MLT and Heating element, so I could get a more accurate reading of the temp in the MLT. Do I not need that? I wanted to make sure that the temperature that is being read by the heating element is the actual temperature throughout the whole mash. Does that make sense...

I’ve decided to build a new brewery and after much reading I’ve decided to go the RIMS route. The brewery is pretty much finished except for the electronics. My question…I want to put a heat sensor on the output of the MLT, the output of the heating element and one in the HLT. Can all of this...

Thanks for the link. That has some great information in it. You said that you are using Promash to scale your recipe back, do you know if Beer Smith will do the same thing?

I would like to start brewing some "experimental" small 1 gallon, all grain, batches but seem to be having a little difficulty. What calculations do I use to scale down my grain bill? How much water should I use? Should I pitch the same amount of yeast as a 5 gallon batch? If not, how much...

I'm getting ready to try the whole batch sparging thing and have, what I hope will be, a quick question about water calculations. I'm using a 10gl pot with a false bottom. There is about 1.25gls of water that will fit under the false bottom, not dead space, before reaching the grain bed. I...
