    Crane's Never ending Brewery Upgrades

    I bought several of these IFM SM6004 flow/temp sensors off of ebay for $40 a piece last year. Only problem is that the BSP adapters that you need pretty much double the cost of these. However, I have fought enough "npt" threads on cheap stainless from china that I decided to use a crap ton of...

    Small Batch Automated System

    That is one of the few things on the front of my control panel that still works. However, my control panel is in a hard to reach area. I do plan to make a small auxilary panel mounted by my touch screen that would have a hardware E-stop switch. For now I would have to go outside the garage to...

    haha. Looks good. I need to update my layout and am not to keen on it right now, so your statement wants me to procrastinate some more.

    Crane's Never ending Brewery Upgrades

    Lights for the brew stand, miscellaneous stainless steel fittings, and toilet paper. Seriously though, I came back from Mexico 2 weeks ago to find that we are in a pooper paper crisis! As far as AlieExpress goes, all but one of the items I ordered before lunar new year has arrived. Some of...

    6/4 Cable Strain Relief

    Here is the one I am using for 6/4 SOOW. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005GDFKNI/ref=cm_sw_r_em_apa_i_mFrEEbBVZEGJZ

    Crane's Never ending Brewery Upgrades

    They are made up with cable sleeving as pointed out above. Even makes an ugly gray Ethernet cable look sexy. I also use marine grade heat shrink with glue inside of it to create a waterproof connection after soldering. Works great as the glue melts and gets pushed in between the wires as the...

    Crane's Never ending Brewery Upgrades

    I ran out of analog inputs and room for more stuff in my control panel. I plan on building a new control panel at some point, but that's going to wait until a few other things are taken care of first. In the meantime, I had almost everything I needed to throw together a second make-shift...

    BruControl: Adding unsupported devices

    Am I going crazy? I appears that the "code" sections are omitting some of the code. Here is what I see in the final post. When I go to edit my post the code is correct. Awww. WTF. Anyways, the last screenshot has the correct syntax for the code.

    Soldering Stainless steel

    Here are some of the more interesting things I have used this technique for. Bottom drain and volume sensor ports for each kettle. Trub Dam TC spools Hops-Boss TC mount

    BruControl: Brewery control & automation software

    If that's the case, then it would probably make sense to start a build thread and post this type of content there.

    Lacto starter with yogurt no activity

    You didn't list what type of yogurt you used. Not all of them have live cultures that can be propagated. But as others have already mentioned you won't see any visible activity from the growth.

    I'm using a 15" touchscreen but will probably upgrade to something bigger later on.

    BruControl: Brewery control & automation software

    I used my laptop initially for my brew day display. A touch screen is way more convenient to use than a mouse. Worth the extra cost IMO

    ESP32 inside fermentation fridge?

    Yes sir it can. A plastic enclosure that has minimal water resistance would most likely be fine. IP ratings are a little hard to follow for condensation, since they don't directly test for it. Some googling shows that IP21 or greater should be sufficient to stop condensation from getting in the...

    My build thread

    I know you solved this already, but thought I might shed some insight for others. I had a similar issue on my home made mosfet boards initially. My counter flow meters would start giving bogus flow rates when the duty cycle wasnt 0 or 100%. I was able to remedy this by adding more capacitance...

    Small Batch Automated System

    I'm holding my breath for your conclusion. I really don't understand the hatred towards HERMS. The claim that RIMS can heat faster only creates more thermal stress, so slowing it down to avoid thermal stress takes that advantage away from RIMS. The claim that you are unnecessarily heating up...

    Wait, you too? It looks like using MFMs for real time gravity measurements is rapidly spreading like some sort of beer related virus here.
