    BruControl: Brewery control & automation software

    Hi BrunDog, I would like to be able to have a switch control each fermentor. Could you give me a example of a script for having a switch control a fermentor. I just don't want to have to turn off all the elements individually. I would like when "fermenter1switch" is off it disables "heat1"...

    BruControl: Brewery control & automation software

    I thought it was something simple. How would I set up a profile for fermentation. Like 63 for 3 days then 67 for 2 days and then 40 for several weeks

When they are the same name I get ERROR: Index was outside the bounds of the array. in the first line of fermenting_loop Those...

    BruControl: Brewery control & automation software

    I can't seam to grasp how to write a script. How would I write something that makes relay 1 turn on when set temp on probe 1 is hit, like when my fermenter warms up and i want the pump to turn on. Also the same thing for relay 2 to turn on heater when probe 1 reaches certain temp.

    Anybody else this lazy and cheap?

    I tried picnic taps and got sick of opening the keezer every time I wanted a cold one after a couple weeks. So much more convenient to just walk up to it and pour. Get your self a 20lb co2 tank to save money on gas and use savings to get some all stainless taps and shanks from aliexpress. I...

    Switching to Electric

    I suggest one of the first two rtds augiedoggy recommended. I tried the third type because it was cheaper but ended up breaking the pins in the male because I'm not that gentile with equipment. I've been happy with the kind that screws on for a couple years taking them on and off brew day at...

    Grinding in an apartment

    If you protect from sparks it won't hurt anything. It will just be smoky, you will have that sweet grinder smell for a little while and the fun grinder dust. I'm a carpenter and grind stuff inside all the time. If it was my house I would take it outside just so I don't have to clean all the...

    How much should I expect to invest?

    I recommend a 10 gallon pot from the start. Also I think propane costs way more in the long run, propane is expensive and getting tanks filled is an inconvenience. You can go electric for not that much more than a burner and have great temperature control. I brewed for 6 months and decided i...

    One control panel, two systems?

    If you are only using 240v right now it will be easy. All you need to do is make a pigtail from a 120v male to a female for your 240v connector. Just make sure the hot side going threw your relay goes to the hot side of the 120, you are turning your other wire into a neutral. If you have 240v...

    How would one dillute beer without inducing oxygen?

    What about fill sanitized keg with boiled water, i'm pretty sure boiling gets rid of most oxygen in water, to desired level. Purge water keg with co2. Fill 2nd and 3rd keg (depending how much beer) with beer that you also purge with co2. Than use co2 to push beer form beer keg to water keg by...

    New Basement Brewery Build

    I would use your plywood box with aluminum flashing and silicone at the seams or even just an exterior paint on and caulk the joints on the inside. My theory is houses get way more moisture with direct rain than there is boiling water vapor during a boil, expecially if your only brewing once a...
