Worked perfect. Thanks, you're the man! Also while I was in there I found the setting to change to Fahrenheit instead of celcius

I'm thinking that the two white wires goto pin 8 and 9 on the PID, and the red wire connects to pin 7. Just need someone to confirm before I blow something up!

Ive got a cheap mypin ta4 pid controller for my RIMS setup that has been working well with a thermocouple. Recently I acquired a new RTD sensor to replace the TC so I can disconnect the sensor from the control box instead of leaving it connected all the time. I cant figure out how to wire it...

Figured it was about time for some closure on this thread. I'll be frank; I absolutely hate this ****. I catch one whiff of it and it stays with me in my nose for hours. It has made my bottling bucket and most of my equipment reek of vanilla and I smell it every time I enter my basement to...

I live in Algonquin and work in Elgin right by 31 and 90. I'll follow this thread. Midnight carboys meet at Dukes in Crystal Lake and Club Wort meets at Durty Nellies in Palatine. Club Wort is a good time. Plenty of members so there is always plenty of brew.

I used vanilla beans soaked in vodka for somewhere around 10 days, added to secondary. This has been bottled for a week. Opened a bottle yesterday to give it a shot and it is apparent that it needs much more time to condition. Cant tell you exactly how it came out yet.

I've started doing BIAB with RIMS recently and read alot about the increase in matter that accumulates in the boil kettle because there is a lack of natural filter like in a mash tun. My idea is ti pump the output of my RIMS tube through some kind of a DIY filter. I am thinking of finding...

This sounds delicious. Rogue hazelnut brown is one of my favorite beers, and nut browns in general are I think my favorite style. Never thought of a nut porter though, I may have to experiment with that as well! Hazelnut extract does exist, here's a pic of a bottle I have of brewcraft...

cant remember if i entered this yet

Why not go with something like this? http://www.brewandgrow.com/brew/stainless-steel-1-5-tri-cover-x-1-2-fpt.html

I am brewing this tomorrow. I pulled out the perle hops completely and subbed the tettnang for hallertau. What do you think? making this for mom, who requested a vanilla beer, but did not like the vanilla cream ale i brought home for her from the local micro brewery. edit: Changed my mind...

Does anyone have a couple screenshots of their beersmith setup for a keggle BIAB equipment profile? I would be really greatful, All these numbers are driving me crazy.

Can you guys show me what you mean by these plugs and jacks that you are using? everything on this site is completely different looking to me, having a hard time finding what I should be using that isnt super overkill.

I was thinking about this more, and if the issue is different types of metals creating a reaction and throwing off the temperature then how is it possible to connect the thermocouple to the PID at all? The wires crimp onto lug connectors. These lugs, I assume, are standard lugs not made out of...

I think what wilser means to say is that you should ditch the basket and get a custom tailored BIAB bag :) (I have ordered from him, have a friend that was so impressed with by bag that he ordered one for himself today as well. Guy makes good stuff.) As a BIAB brewer, I've never had a...

Yes, it helps a lot. So based on what you have said I shouldn't have an issue removing the ends of the thermocouple, soldering onto a 3.5MM headphone jack, mating that with a female headphone jack, then running thermocouple wire from the solder side of the female jack back to the PID? Is...

So my girlfriend and I made a 4 gallon batch of caramel apple hard cider because she was going downstate to visit some friends and wanted to show off a little bit. So we mix it up, ferment it, bottle it, pasteurize it on the stove but it turns out I didnt pasteurize it soon enough after...

Would this stuff be safe for the high temps? Interested in this thread as well myself now as last night I, too, realized there was some rust forming on my element after testing with water.

Hi. Building a RIMS system and I dont want to permenantly hard wire my thermocouple probe to the back of the PID. I know thermocouple wire is kind of special, but I have some bad thermocouples with wires still on them i can use as pigtails. My question is, if this wire is so special, would...

Hey everyone, looking for some creative solutions to my issue here and maybe some examples of ways to pull this off. I am building my RIMS setup for maintaining mash temp in my keggle during BIAB. My boil is still fueled by propane. I have the system completely assembled and built, but...
