    Temp probe placement in recirculating eBIAB builds

    I'm curious what people have to say about putting it on a T, especially after the ball valve. I understand if your just wanting to control/monitor the recirc but what about ramping up for mash/sparge water? The kettle seems like the best solution to me if your using one vessel. I have mine in...

    It's not much of a build thread but I have posted a little more about it here, https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f170/different-e-brewery-380514/. If you have anymore questions you can ask them there. It's a electric setup, batch sparging then recirc from the BK/HLT to mash tun. Also check out the...

    I have done that but with a pump it recirculates both mash and sparge until its all equal then drain into the BK. Heres a link that explains it better than I can. http://www.alenuts.com/Alenuts/brutus20.html

    I batch sparge then recirculate. It's like the "Brutus 20" or any other two vessel systems.

    A dog for my sister--Rotty, Dobie, Boxer or German Shepherd?

    I've had my rotty for over three years and have no idea what he's talking about.

    A dog for my sister--Rotty, Dobie, Boxer or German Shepherd?

    I was going say Rottweiler. Mine is the sweetest dog I've ever owned. Listens very well and my fiancée who is 115 pounds has never had any problems with him.

    pid control

    There are several threads explaining very simple setups. You'll also learning its best to have a couple switches for safety and equipment "element" protection. Here's a great build that's very detailed with lots of great pics. It's about as simple as you would want to get...

    Different E-Brewery

    I brewed my first batch on this system last night and everything worked great. My Preboil volume was 7.5 gallons and the 3000w element had no problems bringing it to a rolling boil. I actually had to turn it down to 70%. Man is electric brewing amazing!

    Plug in Element Help

    I'm assuming that the plug thats connectd to the element has the gfci built in and that's what you took off? I would just replace the outlet that you are plugging it into to a gfci. Don't kill yourself over making beer.

    Different E-Brewery

    For just the electronics from Auber it was $200 shipped. But I found out that the other smaller stuff adds up quick. I've been piecing it together over a few months so there wasn't a huge upfront cost, but plan on around $300-$400 overall. Even though it is 120v all the plugs and outlets have...

    Different E-Brewery

    I was going to go that route but decided I like the look of separate switches and lights like theelectricbrewery. Just a personal preference.

    Different E-Brewery

    When I first saw two vessel systems I was pretty confused also. It's basically the "Brutus 20" except I also us gravity. What happens is in the BK I heat up mash water, pump to mash tun, rest. Then heat up more water in the BK/HLT and start draining the mash into the BK/HLT while at the same...

    Different E-Brewery

    You are exactly right it is a plastic junction box 12"x12". I bought it at homedepot for around $30. I wanted to use plastic because its so easy to work with. I painted the front with Rust-Oleum Universal Hammered Paint and Primer in One. At first I wasn't sure if I was going to paint it but now...

    Different E-Brewery

    I've decided to post my electric brewery because its a little different than anything else out there. My setup is 3000w 120v single element, "Brutus 20" two tier, gravity and one pump system. I took in a lot of info from all the BIAB systems and incorporated them into a batch sparging setup...

    Pid Alarm user error or broken?

    So I finally figured it out. After days of looking at the wiring, pulling the pid apart and looking inside, I came to the conclusion that power wasn't going through the alarm. Checking the continuity from terminal 13 to the relay concluded that power was not flowing. A simple solder connecting...
