What size is your keezer? Thanks

Is there a reason why hardly anybody isn't using 1 wire temperature monitoring or in their valve controls? I only saw some sites where they used them in their builds. Although 1 guy used them in his first build and chose rtd in subsequent build even though he loved using 1 wire. The only thing...

That would work too. Now that I understand why you have the rims I would want that. I could always begin with your suggestion.

Ok.... makes sense. Missing piece filled[emoji3] Thanks. I think my initial plan was not to sparge but now I definitely want the option. It seems the more I try to change my plan from your system, the more I actually want to model mine after yours.

Can you do away with a rims tube and just use the bk element for both recirculating and boil in 2 vessel? I know you have both and get it is better, but could i get away with 1 1650 element? Right now my kettles are 11 gal (44qt).

There must be something that makes the singe puck type better since most use them? What is wrong with the multiple channel type?

I am sure we will definitely ask questions. I am not concerned about the scripting piece in my instance. I work with code a good bit although not like years ago. I see many talking about using 1 wire but don't see how that works or many using it. The temp controls in concept doesn't sound...

I don't think it is overcomplicated either but I was hoping it could be a little easier just seeing somebody do theirs. You can see a few examples of other non arduino type controllers in video and documentation. I think this gives everybody a base to go from and then change for their needs. I...

You are in the exact same boat as me in every aspect as me including building my own computers, vb, woodworking etc. I don't feel so stupid now :no:

It really isn't that I'm looking for greener grass now. It was mostly can I do number 1 without totally hosing it up (never built anything that did automation). All my experience has been on the software side, not mechanical using electronics. The others were more do I want something that...

I don't think so. All have a degree of automaton capability and hosehead in comparison to brewboss are very similar and are partial builds if only getting controller with software. The other 2 are either a total diy build or ready to use. And like I said, I really want the brucontrol/Arduino...

I was thinking the same thing. Would you suggest getting an arduino kit to understand how the components work together?

I think I will be building the Brucontrol/Arduino system. In the interim, I will be getting gf so I can brew now while I build what I want. I know it will take me some time to build and this way I can hopefully become a better brewer. I don't like spending the$1000 on gf when that money...

Hi All, I have been scouring this forum as well as others trying to figure out what I want for a brewery. Many here have been through many iterations of their breweries. I want to avoid that for the most part as I tend to do that with every hobby (and started to do with this) and my wife gets...
