I appreciate the advice but Letterman's has grain more expensive than I pay in Atlanta. Are there any good bulk deals out there besides way up in New York for all of us on the East Coast???

It seems I just missed the bulk grain group buy for the Atlanta people. I make the drive from Atlanta, GA to Cincinnati, OH a couple times a year. Q? Is there are shop/supplier with good deals on 50/55 lb bags of grain along this route. I can get this grain locally for $55-65, but have...

PID was DOA, Auber sent me a new one

ok this is from a really old post from the begining, but it made me smile, +1 for you owning a heat transfer book.

Is there a resource that can tell me general information about how Specific water profiles will work with different beer styles?? I've been looking but can only find specific water profiles not paired with beers they will accommodate. Thanks, David

I have a Auber SYL-2352 as seen here. 1/16 DIN PID Temperature Controller (Relay Output) [SYL-2342] - $44.50 : auberins.com, Temperature control solutions for home and industry So I had everything connected, and I am fairly certain it was correct, but when I plugged in the power the...

Thanks for everyone who gave advice! It really helped me out a lot. I'll have the HERMS set up in the comming weeks. David

Where did you get your PID, SSR, Thermocoupler??? I was planning a HERMS build. What components do you guys have?? What great deals are out there?? I've been trolling through so many posts and it would be good to get everybodies ideas in one place. Im looking for good deals, I dont need...

What materials are used in the resistance coil on your heating element ? Maybe a better question, what materials are safe to use with a system such as this? I was hoping to build something similar. Thanks, David

does anyone have a DIY rotating sparge arm? I was really woundering if it was worth it to have it rotating I believe that I can build one if it is simply based on conservation of momentum of a little of the liquid (running from the sides) pushing it along. Any DIY advice / pictures would...

Anybody built a rotating arm similar to what is seen here NORTHERN BREWER: All-Grain Equipment ? Is it even worth it to have the thing rotating? Please post your pictures of Rotating Sparge arms David

Just anouther comment, I am doing this because I want a fermenter that I can open up and spray down with a pressure washer, and avoid using a secondary. If the welds are messy, could I not hit them with a cheap torch once in a while when I clean. Can nasties take a few seconds of intense...

you have a good point, but this funnel holds 64 oz, and while there is a "ledge" I figure I can pivot the assembly or tap the sides periodically. I would hope that this would be enough to cause the heavier sediment to fall into the funnel. Note the OD of ~9", a snake is ~15" leaving a ~3"...

Please post to thread here: http://homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?p=683751#post683751 I put this under DYI, sorry if the above thread seems out of place.

Suppose I legally obtain a Sanke keg. Would it be possible to weld a 304 stainless steel funnel, such as the one listed at mcmaster.com, in order to make a semi-conical fermenter. The funnel: 4359T6 Corrosion-Resistant Type 304 SS Funnel 64 oz Capacity, 8-3/8" Top OD, 9-1/2" O'all...

Yes, I am familiar with this project, but I dont have the $150 bucks for a hopper. I was hopping to make a poor man's version of that project USING A SANKE KEG (bold only to clear up future posts :rockin:) -- I really just need welding advice. Thanks for the info/response, I do hope to be...

thanks for clearing that up, I am still, and desire to continue my residency in alabama. hopefully laws will change before I return

well, I'm in Atlanta, GA but I was hopping when I got good plants to put some in a field near Auburn. Is homebrew really illegal in AL? I got an email about this today. I've only done it in GA, but that is rediculous...

Has anyone ever grown hops in alabama? Also lets say that I had a well established crown, if I had hops in a field unattended, how much poorer would plant production be that properly cared for / trained hop vines?
