No idea why the pics are rotated 90 degrees...apologies

I realized the other day that I started this thread some years ago, yet never posted pics of my simple but effective set-up. As so many before me have done, I say "Thank you" to the community. Were it not for all of you I certainly would not have embarked on this project. In the end, I could...

Satire of course, just not very good at it... Cost...it is what you want to make of it. I think many of us are "tinkerers" by nature and that is part of the fun. Part of the reason I took up this hobby was I wanted a tangible result at the end of the day. It will always be more expensive if...

Thanks. I will do that later in the week. I did happen to come across another build using same/similar model. At least they have the same wiring schematic.

You guys did a great job with your builds. I embarked on this project this past weekend. Found a nasty fridge (same wiring diagram). I will be reaching out for a few answers from time to time. Great job!

I always enjoy watch (looking) at the pictures when someone posts their build. That is certainly my intention and I will come back and begin to add pictures. However, before I do that, I am at a bit of a crossroads. I picked up a fridge which I thought was purely analog, until I got it home...

I personally put the bulb in a jug of water. I think this is a much closer representation of what is happening within the fermenter/keg than just air. Air has no real thermal mass. Personal opinion. Sent from my iPad using Home Brew

By no means am I an expert, but I have done probably 30 5 gallon batches via BIAB. My initial reaction is you are going to have a difficult time getting all the juicy sugars out of your grain. The premise behind BIAB is you use all of the water you would use for a full boil. Your description...

Well written review. While the cost is a bit more than the brew buckets, I do like the idea of dumping trub and harvesting yeast and this is an advantage over the brew bucket. Thanks

Thanks...that is what I was thinking. Thank you for the feedback.

I am confused...if I connect a light bulb and 9 volt to the output does that not defeat the process. I am wondering if I need to connect the 9 volt to the input side? This would make sense as I believe the SSR is fried in the position where it allows current to pass through non-stop. Also as...

Bumping to hope someone has a thought on this.

I think I know the answer to this, but here is one for the group. Did a brew Friday night and something odd happened out of the gate, when I threw the contactor switch, I somehow got a short and tripped the breaker. Turned everything off, opened the box examined all wiring, reassembled had...

An update for those that are interested. Completely hard wired and getting positive reading. Had to plug in an electric drill to get a reading but reading nonetheless. Will brew this weekend and should be fun to watch the numbers move around. Loving the electric brewery. Thanks to all who...
