That is beautiful. I want to make one for the sheer awesomeness of this thing, and I dont even drink margaritas. Something about horsepower, crushing, and alcohol that brings men together.

I have 3 taps, 5 spots in my keezer, and 6 kegs. Usually, i'll have 3 on tap, one on deck, and one carbing. Usually keep one with water in it if i want seltzer

Have I used it? No. Can you use it? Absolutually. I see 6 pwm outputs from that guy plus a variety of dig and analog I/O so should be easy. Not sure how you are going to program it, ladder logic might not be very fun but you could do it. Let us know how it goes!

As long as sanitation is good as other mentioned, then I would expect better as there is no risk of kegged beer being skunked by the light.. Stay away from the light!

Yeah, it sucks, but oh well I guess haha. All good points, only bad thing is that my Pipeline is not able to be big enough to support having batches sit in the fridge for a month or so.. I'm going to do a test with a 10 gallon batch i'm racking to 2 kegs this weekend and filter one and not...

IF that were the case and only 1% of the cells were left, that is still ~5-9 billion cells left that could be in my beer when I keg. I already use whirlflock and manage my fermentation temperatures very well, I just wondered how much of the cloudyness of homebrew could be yeast. That is a...

Hi, I have a general question here which stems from one of my Allergies. I've been brewing for a while now, and found out a year ago that I have an allergy to Yeast, both Brewers and Bakers strains. Now I wont die or anything, but I am prone to getting bad stomach aches in the morning if...

I'm curious about this, if someone can chime in. I'm allergic to Brewers and Bakers yeasts. (It sucks I know) I'm curious that if the beer is more clear than cloudy, if the majority of what is making the beer cloudy is yeast? Or is it generally other things. I am going to start filtering my...

PC Gamer here. Usually just play SC2 right now, between work, brewing, and other significant time consuming things, i'll play a game or two.

I see what you mean, but I pulled the tirgger anyone on a VV anyway since my LHBS does not have any of the 15g vessels available. I'm in for one when they have an empty though.

I understand what you're saying, but I dont have a clue where to buy a food grade drum. I'll check my LHBS tomorrow, but I've not remembered seeing one other than the large blue drums which I believe are >50 gallons.

Just noticed that Amazon has These vittles vaults with Prime (which I have) and it is cheaper than the plastics website with Free 2 day shipping for prime. I'm gonna pull the trigger on one and hope it fits in my fermentation chamber

So just to clarify, the one he posted is big enough for a 10 gallon batch? Do you happen to know how much liquid will fit in it total?

I had initially intended to brew 10 gallons of my house pale ale 2 weekends ago, but during that time had also pulled the trigger on a few parts, including a fridge, for my latest project. My brother finally moved out of my apartment, which freed up a bit of space for my fermentation chamber...

I built this same design over the last week and got it all together and sealed last night. I got it down quickly to 50f and it easily held there so i'm pumped that I can now lager! I would recommend this type of build to anyone looking for a cheaper alternative to a chest freezer, mine takes...

Got my fridge today. Planning on this same design, but not under a workbench. I'm aiming for a rolling fermenting chamber!

I did think of that as well, but since I'm using a cooler for a MLT, i lose heat very slowly. I havent tried it, but I would bet if it was there I would overshoot my temperatures. Being as it works perfectly for my setup now, I probably wont try moving it and risk another batch having...

Yes and yes. My whole process is to add the water I need for the mash to the MLT and fill my HLT (5 gallons) and I will recirculate through the HLT until the MLT and HLT read my mash in temperature (for me 10 deg above my target temperature). After mash in this usually puts me 2-3 degrees...

I've made changes to my setup and I've tested a few batches on it since. I get spot on temperatures within 1 degree for the whole mash. I also use it to recirculate after boil and i get to pitch temp in about 15 minutes. I love the larger diameter coil, i went with a 1/2" ID copper coil...

Had one of my 2 pumps go out on my during my last brew session. I have one setup to recirc my HLT, and one to transfer/recirc my mash, the one that failed was on the mash. I took the head off it and noticed that when i put power to it, it tried to move, but there was too much friction on the...
