The kettles arriving led to some fun with my son and a game we call 'It Fits'. :) For size comparison, I have a picture of my original 3 gallon stainless steel pot I started brewing extract in, the 10 gallon aluminum pot I have been brewing in for several months, and the new 20 gallon Concord...
I'll post a wiring diagram and breakdown of the setup soon, but it's essentially a Raspberry Pi using GPIO pins to interface with temperature sensors and SSRs, running a custom program that handles PID algorithm, timers, data logging, and more.
Conical work started with inductor tanks arriving (3 at once, the fourth took a few weeks because apparently we homebrewers keep buying them all up. :mug:). Since I already had plywood and 2"x4"x8' lying around, I decided to forego the $60+ on a stand and build them myself. The stands are...
First up was building the brewstand. 2"x4" with 1"x4" tops make it up. My wife says I have a thing about constantly building tables (I think I'm up to six or so built in the past year), so I jumped on this while waiting for equipment to arrive.
My business partner helped with the assembly...
I started this project about a month ago, but this month has seen two weeks of prodromal labor followed by the birth of my daughter (12/17) so I suppose I have been pre-occupied. :)
This build is more than just a brewhouse, it is the complete setup of Cademon Brewing Co.'s test lab for recipe...
Is anyone able to handle the physical splitting of the Cascade hop split? I just landed in Denver to speak at a conference and my pickup guy just messaged me to say he's unable to pickup from Bill's. I've got a backup, but they have no idea other than 'I'm here to pickup for Cad'
Got it, I'll send you payment now. As for the Cascade split, all but 1 person has paid for their share of the Cascade so thanks for the prompt payments folks.
Added. This closes out both splits, everyone who has not confirmed (list in post #472) please do so here or via PM. I will PM everyone involved with my paypal address and individual cost once Bill gives confirmation of the order.
