    Motorized Grain Mills: Time to show them off!

    Most of the posts I've seen shoot for 175, and since most of the 1/2hp and 3/4hp electric motors turn at 1,750, it requires a 10:1 reduction.

    RIMS tube setup

    I, too, was worried about my pump cavitating or forgetting to open the return valve in the MT, losing flow, and yet the heating element being unaware that there was a problem, thereby boiling my wort in the RIMS. I went with a NIB adjustable (0.5 to 20 GPM flow), 1/2" FPT, 316 stainless steel...

    Mini-ITX MB incorporated into BCS Control Panel

    No, I'm still pondering the options. There are pro's and con's to the approach. My stand will be outside, and I live in typhoon country here in Japan, so high winds and salt spray are not out of the norm. There's an advantage to bringing into the house everything electronic. Then again, I like...

    BCS and BrewTroller/FermTroller question.

    How 'bout just using two BCS-462s; one for brewing, the other for fermenting, lagering and serving? Oh, don't tell me we're watching our pennies as we move towards total automation... ;)

    Custom Panels

    I just ordered a panel from them last week. They have free software ("Front Panel Designer") you can download that works like a charm. The software includes an ordering module, so as you make changes to your panel, you can quickly see the effect on the final price. And they are SUPER FAST on...

    PBW is wonderful.. but.....

    Well, to resurrect an old thread, I was just wondering... have any of you guys have settled into a preference? What's working, what doesn't? I'm pulling for the OxyClean/TSP combo, since I can get that cheaper in the commissary here on base (Japan). It would sure beat paying DOUBLE for PBW...

    Show Me Your Wood Brew Sculpture/Rig

    When I first built my woody, I can still remember that first day... lighting up the burner, fully prepared to see a remake of the towering inferno, right there in my back yard. Six years later, and it's still going strong. In fact, I'm in the middle of completing Woody Version 2.0... BIGGER...

    understanding high pressure versus low pressure propane

    I discovered that Marshall Gas Controls went out of business at the end of last year, so I'm now toying with the idea of buying the Marshall Excelsior MEGR-9984 2-Stage Automatic Regulator. The specs say it'll put out 230,000 btu/h, so it should be able to keep up with a couple of Blichmanns...

    Blichmann vs Banjo burner

    I'm in the process now of converting my two brand new Blichmann floor-standing burners from high-pressure (10 psi) to low pressure (11" WC). The Blichmanns came with what appears to be a Chinese-made high-pressure regulator (manufacturer is Ningbo Wanan, model number is GYK-5/8; you decide if...

    understanding high pressure versus low pressure propane

    Whew!! There is a lot of GREAT information on this thread! But of course, with loads of information often comes loads of confusion in trying to adapt the lessons learned by our bretheren to the peculiarities of the paths we have chosen. My path... I have 2 brand new Blichmann floor-standing...

    Home brewing in Japan

    I'm constantly tweeking my brew stand and order a lot from McMaster-Carr and Grainger, and I buy from Northern Brewer as well, and none of these companies will ship outside of the USA. At the suggestion of The Electric Brewery (here on HBT), I started using a forwarding service...

    Home brewing in Japan

    I'm using an old (10 years now) side-by-side fridge that I brought with me from the states, and it holds TWO 6.5-gallon carboys, stacked one on top of the other, with the top one sitting on a wooden shelf. The fridge itself sits (barely) in a storage shed in my back yard, with an extension cord...

    A good summer brew

    Humm... not necessarily "to style," but I do like what honey malt does to the nose. I was actually thinking of adding 0.5 to 1.0 lbs of raw honey towards the end of the boil, increasing the fermentables in order to try and dry out the Kolsch just a bit more. What is your experience with honey...
