Look for spongy anything. Do the floors sag when you walk on them, open the cabinets is there any water damage. If there's a basement look at the floor joists what kind of shape are they in, knock on them rotting wood sounds different than good wood. Check the wood around the bathrooms for rot...

Emile666 only has you hook up 3 wires to the unit, ground rst and sig. I just figured I'd post what I did to get it to work. I'm sure if you knew were to hook up a dc power supply that would work to. But i don't see any danger of soldering headers onto the programing ports and wiring the unit up...

So I got my 0602 05 rqc stc1000s in and tried to program them. I kept getting errors and was about to give up when I decided to power the units when programing them. Worked like a charm. I'm so happy to have my stc1000+s now. So if you try Emile666's version you need to have the units powered. I...

Thanks for all the replies guys. I figured thicker wire would be better. My connections are soldered at the quick disconnects so they should be good I haven't tried to wiggle them to see if it's some loose sexing, I'll try next brew day. I'll also put my pocket probe closer to the pt1000 but...

My probe is in a tee at the bottom of my hlt, I stuck my thermoter in as far in as i could about 5-6". I run a tan ebay pump and recirculate with whirlpool when I heat the water so there shouldn't be much temperature stratification, maybe 1-2 deg but 10 is a lot. I was just wondering if the...

When I did a sous vide steak for the first time I set my pid to 130 and let it do its thing in my hlt till it got to temp according to my pid. I was curious so I just happened to check with my thermoworks rt301wa. It was 10 degrees low. so I adjusted the temp differential and everything went on...

I have a trail keg I put on my hydroflask, https://trailkeg.com. holds the pressure fine.

I use my old pot for collecting my milled grains. My old 8 gallon aluminum pot holds enough grain for a 10 gallon batch of 4-6%abv beer.

My RIMS tube was having problems last weekend during a brew. I needed a quick solution to bring the temp up to 150 for mash and set up my copper cfc as a herms, using my hlt as heat source. After using it I don't see why people put extra coils in their hlts. I get the same functionality as the...

sorry should of looked closer. I thought there was a wall on the other side of the bar and the stools were windows. 3'6", inside the u, was were I thought you were putting the stools. That looks like a great bar setup. You could put a 7cuft keezer in there for your bar if you wanted 4 taps. My 7...

3'-6" Is really small. I would omit the bar table side and run the cabinets along the 2 long walls not interfering with the door.

I like kegging more than my conicals. Filling and cleaning a keg is so easy. I only bottled 2 batches before I switched to kegs. To clean I just put on my home made keg washer and run cleaner threw them for 5-10 minutes, then after I clean them all I run star san for a few minutes, so easy. My...

I had a top that was completely off. I put construction adhesive I had left over from work under the lid, filled the keg and left it upside down for the night. Worked like a champ and 2 years later still good.

Every time I brew I write down my wants. Like right now I want a switched outlet by sink for my cleaning pump, a few camlocks to replace the ones that don't fit right, and get my conical fermenters set up on glycol. When something is on there a lot I try to pursue those first. Some times their...

I use a personal heater also, https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00538G5PI/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20. Works great in my upright freezer in unheated garage.

I have 4500 watt elements, in hlt and bk, and a 2000w rims like augiedoggy and i do back to back 10 gallon batches. Running one 4500w element and the rims is 24-26 amps.

Thanks for sharing your story with us. I hope you keep posting updates, I find your story extremely interesting. Good job on your web site, it's pretty sweet. Hope those new fermenters improve your life, my little 12.5 gallon ond did for me:)

I didn't use one in my build but absolutely love my flow switch for my rims, thinking of adding float switch to hlt and bk.

I use a 200 watt space heater. It workes great in my freezer even if we have a week in the single digits

Morebeer started selling the ssbrewtech ones recently. I recently ordered one from them to save on shipping.
