"I'm just trying to keep Claudius off my ass. ;)" Wishful thinking. Why do you fear the foam now? According to the British beer guru Michael Jackson, your beer should at least look like the one pictured on my wall:bigmug:

Two pictures of my Helles interpretation with 76% Weyermann Pils and 24% Weyermann Munich I. I ferment all my Helles with liquid yeast at 50°F. I have used the WLP833 with great success.

Lunch time! A few homemade Dampfbiers will do.

If the sodium concentration is very high compared to the H+ ions, you may see the effect of the sodium error on the measurement. Check the limit of your pH electrode; most vendors will state the pH range they can cover and may state at what value Sodium Errors also known as alkaline error, begin...

I utilize distributed logic to minimize the length of long wire runs by employing multiple PLCs. All PLCs communicate through power line Ethernet modules for data exchange. All data goes to the control room for localized monitoring of all processes. The control room is not required to do a brew...

My everyday homemade Kölsch.

"I hope you don't think I was saying anything is wrong when you want a full fledged brewery at home. " Not at all. You were correct with your statement, " Homebrewing equipment with hoses, going everywhere". :bigmug:

Compact units are no fun. "Why do American companies make such impractical homebrewing equipment with hoses, going everywhere?" A simple solution may be a diverter board like I use :bigmug:

It's a standard homebrew setup, maybe with a few extra buttons. "Pro? Looks fancy!" Camera manipulation can do wonders. :bigmug:

My first pH meter, 30 years old and still working. Picture #2 is my regular benchtop pH meter. Pictures #3 & #4 are the pH controllers. All pH meters/controllers have communication capabilities and transmit data to the brewery controller, including pH probe health. The dosing pump is controlled...

I employ multiple pH meters and pH controllers. My system continuously monitors the mash pH without requiring any corrections. All brewing samples are cooled down as close to the calibration temperature as possible for the benchtop pH meter. I take two mash samples at 15 minutes and mash out...

Does the motor have a plate with the specs attached to it?

"Hmm. The pump is getting power as it hums when I power on," spin the shaft under power to start up the motor. The motor should run if the cap is bad. Those capacitors are available online. Just get the same value; the shape doesn't matter as long as it fits in the back of the motor. I have...

Some pH probe basics to avoid future problems. Milwaukee, Hanna Instruments, Bluelab

I had to relabel six pipes throughout the brewery after many years of abuse.

I am rewarding myself with my homemade Nürnberger Rotbier after a simple brewery task.

It's Kölsch time. Cheers :bigmug:

A great looking Alt. My version of Altbier.

Kölsch time :bigmug:

Not today. I use those taps very often to save me a 60-foot one-way trip.
