Basically, recirculation means you get the wort out of the kettle and take it back on top of the grain bed. You can do this manually or with a pump. A motor driving a paddle is doing nothing more than stirring and can also be done by hand :D IMHO, 10 gal if you never brewed all grain is...

You should use diluted nitric acid ( round 20% )to passivate the stainless

With those kind of chillers, I'm afraid of leaving precious wort inside ! But that looks cool. I want one, I want one ;)

Nice job ;)

Depends on what you got on your keg. If you got 1/2 nipples, you can use a press fit to 1/2 NPT. See http://www.plumbingsupply.com/compress.html

I falled of the chair when I read 88 means 880 000 Btus !!! Did you stole it to the Nasa ? With the 88 you could cook a giant chilli for 800 ! Well, I you can afford the tank and the refill of LPG to go with that, you should be able to vaporize your batch in a few seconds :D And don't forget...

Thanks Tuck ! I'm grabbing the grains and I'll give your recipe a try as soon as I can ! Too bad I'll have to wait for fermentation :cross:

I might look like stupid, but when you say 4 cups of brewed coffee. I'm french native with a italian family so for me espresso means a little cup of coffee make with 2 tsp of coffee and 1/4 cup water and you spoon can stand upright in the cup ;o) I'm joking, but I'm not far from truth. I know in...

I did some kind of overkill thermometer with a pic, i2c sensors D1820, and i2c 4 digits 7 segments display with SAA1064. Worked well, but was a base for a full temp control of my setup. Project has been killed by my first child and now I got a new 6 weeks old baby, I ain't got time to work on...

May be because brutus means brutal, heavy who knows :rockin:

Nice post. I think I might go the same way with this board for a "fermoire" at least.

There are systems with 3 pids called PLC but it's not really affordable and still need SSRs. The BCS-460 and the brewtroller look like nice toys for big boys ( and girls ) ;o) You can grab 3 PIDs at auberins and make a nice setup with that.

.065 is enough. I had one stand made with .065 and I could jump on it and it will never bend. It was from some "recycled" steel from an old frame and mig soldered.

I had some trouble too with the d18b20 when I was playing with them and a PIC18F2550. The power was not really 5 volts and was too noisy. For the probes, you can get a look on ebay and search on thermowell. I saw some that fit 1/2NPT. The best thing I found using thermowells is to put a...

Yes, really cool !!! I want one, but I'll be moving in the winter so I'll have to wait. I might be doing what I ever dreamed about: an integrated kegerator in the kitchen as the kitchen will have to be rebuilt.

World's too small !

UhOh thanks !! I'm going to read this ! I'll try to grab tips to make my own as I want it to be portable, well movable with my explorer, in one single part.

That's what I was thinking about electricity I got some troubles sourcing the heater elements, but I won't let it down. The size is mainly for test purposes. I got a pal who owns a maltery and in some time, we might add a brewery. But before that, we've got to test in small quantities...
