    Delta Brewing giveaway

    swee.ps is a marketing company and may be specifically linked to @giraffeman's email. You could subscribe to Delta brewing and see if you get your own link. Edit: or the marketing company just put in the wrong link pointing to the home page. @Brewer Mike link below works.

    Fermentation Chamber Filling Up With Water

    If I understand what you are saying, when using airlocks, the freezer lid was closed tight and the CO2 was slightly pressurizing the freezer and finding a way out (drain hole, or burping the lid seal, or some other spot). That would prevent any outside humid air from entering and condensing...

    Question about drilling hole for gas line

    If you don't see condensor coils on the back (as that article had) or bottom of the freezer, then they may be in the walls. Any wall that is warm when running is another place to avoid. Without drilling, you might be able to run a line in the drain hole since this should not be needed due to no...

    Thoughts on Whirlpool "Convertible" for Keezer Build

    The user manual looks like the dual purpose is just a dual range thermostat. I checked the parts diagram and did not see anything special other than the dual range thermostat. The user manual says 33.8°F (1°C) and 41°F (5°C) in refrigerator range and 6.8°F (-14°C) and -7.6°F (-22°C) in freezer...

    AC to glycol chiller question

    Put the end into a gallon jug and time how long to fill at each temp. The times should be close as long as the pex remains at the same height (same head pressure).

    AC to glycol chiller question

    That doesn't look right. The density difference of plain water from 65 to 38 is very small so I would not expect much change in the flow rate. The viscosity also did not change much. You would see more of a viscosity change in a glycol mix. Does the pump performance change at the different...

    Diy simple Dspr320 control box.

    A commercial brewery and home setup have many differences, among them are permanently mounted kettles with probably wires run in conduit to components (heaters) rather than flexible cables that are prone to damage from use with a portable system. I am guessing the commercial kettles have a...

    Diy simple Dspr320 control box.

    Really stupid layman question here. If each ssr is turning on and off their respective leg, how are they keeping in sync when calling for 50% power (PWM or one second on : one off , or other waveform method). Is it the common control signal from the temperature controller that keeps them in...

    BruControl: Brewery control & automation software

    Typically home copper water pipes would be grounded to the AC ground, even if the main AC ground is through a steel rod into the ground from the main panel. Would this still meet your isolation for EMI purposes?

    Checking kegs for leaks

    When I was shopping for o-rings I didn't realize there was that big of a difference in oxygen permeability. I will need to find the Buna-N next time. Spring length mainly changes the pressure that the poppet is seated against the body, and how much it can be pushed in. The universal poppets I...

    Checking kegs for leaks

    It is the original coke poppets in a pin lock post. I did try to switch to a universal poppet but they sit too high (about 1/16 proud of the top of the post) in the coke posts. I used value brew smaller universal poppet o-ring that fits well and seals good. Ideally, I would change posts to all...

    Checking kegs for leaks

    I have some old coke kegs that have not been used for a while. The worst o-ring is the ones on the poppets which were dry and brittle, so be sure to change those. As far as using compressed air, just introduce it slow and start at a low pressure (10 psi) because if you blast it fast it is...

    AC to glycol chiller question

    My feeling is longer cycles, less frequently would be better for the compressor and associated components. Less frequent should be more efficient but I doubt it wold be enough to notice much savings.

    Simple DIY Keg Management

    got one quote just for the top and it was $74.85 At that price I might just buy a printer. Any advice or suggestions on what to look for? ENDER 3 MAX NEO is on sale for $272 which has a 300 x 300 base

    Simple DIY Keg Management

    I would think just the top would need changed to about 8.75"

    Simple DIY Keg Management

    Question about the thingiverse files. Are these sized for ball lock kegs (8.5") or do they fit pin lock kegs (9") as well? I don't have a 3d printer and am looking for someone local that has one. Does anyone know a good online service that could print these? Not sure if there would be a minimum...

    Interesting pump flow discovery/idea

    I see, so you fully cool it then transfer. I was assuming you would transfer through the CFC after the wort was partially cooled at the kettle, but could not see an easy line switch.

    Interesting pump flow discovery/idea

    Where do you tap into this setup to transfer to fermenter?

    Electric brewery plans - need help

    Does anyone on this thread still have the wiring diagram from the Tiber-Brew or P-J? None of the links are showing anymore. It would be interesting to compare to what is done today. Brewjitsu had what was attributed to as bad crimps, but if those busses were connected to multiple breakers, he...
