    AC gycol chiller build Q...

    Its a blichman conical, not insulated, and yes I will wrap it in insulation when I am actually fermenting in it... at 44 degrees there was some condensation on the outside of it... i just need a little bigger pump i think... other than that it worked great. the cycling was way slower when the...

    AC gycol chiller build Q...

    Still waiting on the last temp probe, I used the one from the kettle to test it out though. Worked ok, pump needs to be bigger... barely any flow through the coil... but it cooled down pretty well. It kept wanting to restart a lot until both started to get cold, then they cycling went way...

    Any TIG welders that can help me?

    One thing I forgot to add, When you want to end the arc but dont want a crater, get a piece of scrap or metal or something and continue arc onto that piece then you can end it without leaving a crater in what you are welding.... learned that from Jody. I have the same problem, no footpedal...

    Any TIG welders that can help me?

    Check out Jody at weldingtips and tricks dot com... lots of good info. make sure its CLEAN... wipe with acetone and grind off mil scale... with SS you are going to have to purge BOTH sides of the weld or it will sugar up bad... ask me how i know :( and SS is tricky because it wont dissipate heat...

    Do you really pour an entire 2L starter into wort?

    I have started to do this a bit differently, before i would make a starter and either pitch it all or decant. Now when im brewing i pull off some wort that has boiled a bit, let it cool in fridge, add some yeast i saved after its cooled and put on stirplate overnight.. then let beer cool down in...

    AC gycol chiller build Q...

    yes there is a control capability in the BCS that wont short cycle the compressor. So silly Q, how do i connect? if i just go to blue wire only comp runs, wouldnt i want the fan to run also?

    Where in India? my wife is from Chennai...a lot of the grains and stuff can be bought online... and dry yeast is probably your best bet there... S05 for ales and 34/70 for lagers if you can keep it cool there...

    So basically I am hot wiring the Comp and the fan correct? The rest of it isnt needed since I want the BCS via a SSR to control the on off of the AC to set the temp correct?

    AC gycol chiller build Q...

    In all this i forgot the most important question... is there a way to bypass the E control? the BCS is just a basic controller, turning on and off the power to the AC unit itself... like plugging and unplugging it from wall... every time i power it up it goes back to basic idle state... is there...

    AC gycol chiller build Q...

    Yes I barely used it...but it has sat for a few years unused... When I ran my test it maybe ran 30 min then I stopped once bath got down to 35 or so about a month ago... Then I built platform and put it and cooler in it and plugged it in...and didnt work...it looks perfectly fine but I guess...
