So I guess I'm sticking to the ntc probe then :) and another thing, where in the code can i change the string of text displayed on the stc so that instead of pr0 it displays "ale"? In other words, is it possible to change the name of the profiles?

I have uploaded this firmware to my stc and works like a charm. Is there a way of changing the script in order to support the use of the pt-100 temperature probe?

Yeah, i'm currently filtering with canister and 2 micron filter, but i want to take it 1 step forward

I don't think so, i intend to fill it with sanitizer, then empty it with co2, then filter the beer

Hello, i don't know if this is the right category, but i wanna know if anyone has tried filtering beer with the buon vino mini jet filter. I haven't found any post on that. Also, has anyone tried this filter? http://www.morebeer.com/products/beer-wine-plate-filter-kit.html Pros and cons...

Do you like fish sticks?

No its not, that's just the white sugars taking over the hop alpha acids. Groovy baybeee

Sorry, i was referring to just the pump, not the CFC. It's like you say, you need to circulate wort without cooling it to sanitise

Okey, want some reasons? When sized correctly IC will create a good cold break? Yes, but you will use a wole lot of more tubing than CFC. With just 6 meters of 3/8" copper tubing in my CFC i drop the wort to pitching temperature. 50 liters in 20 minutes. And using just tap water. How long is...

If you put a pump before the CFC you DON'T need to sanitise it. Boiling wort will do the job

You just want to build an HERMS? The plumbing part is easy, just put a copper or stainless steel (first one is more effective whereas second one is more durable and easy to clean) submerged in the hot water pot, connected to your recirculation system. If you wanna do it manually just stick a...

I think it is better to put the herms in ice-cold water and make wort go through inside (kind of a CFC) than using it as an IC. This is because below 40°C wort can get contaminated, and when using an IC nobody puts a lid on the pot. You also reduce DMS and oxidation precursors

CFC is better than IC. That has been proven worldwide by many well-known brewers. It's an argument that is not worth getting into. For begginers and small set ups it may work, but CFC will always be more effective.

The plate chiller is just the same as a CFC regarding sanitation and cleaning, they are just as hard to clean, but neither one is THAT hard. It has the advantage of being much much smaller and really maximising water usage and creating a good hot/cold break Why are you afraid of plugging it??

Have you tried using a plate chiller?
