Also Mt. Si Homebrew Supply in Snoqualmie. Was in there yesterday and the prices seemed reasonable, and good stock. They also do co2 exchange.

Good point. This was an easier fix. :)

Ugggh, this numbskull forgot to punch the hole for water return at the top. Wooomp wooomp.

Grretings WA people. Anyone ever get yeast from Chuckanut in Bellingham? https://www.homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?t=623809

Just had lunch and some good brews at Chuckanut in Bellingham, WA. (Nice to see German styles In the works.) In talking brewing with our bartender, he mentioned that you can bring in a jug and they'll give you yeast. They have Lager and Ale strains. Sounds awesome. Anyone have experience with...

Leak testing this morning. So far so good.

Ok, spent some time working on the hot liquor tank. Getting things organized out of the pile of boxes in the corner of the garage: Using a Bayou Classic Model 1060, 62qt Kettle. I don't plan on needing to know the volume of water in the tank, so no sight glass. (Incidentally, I had...

Indeed. I'm hoping a decal will adhere to the textured black paint. Might need to apply the decal to a thin piece of plastic and glue or screw it to the panel.

Yeah, they acted a little wonky without a load, as expected. Checked the input signals on the SSRs and they looked good; contactors and safeties worked as expected. Hopefully I can get an element in a pot this weekend and test under load.

Thanks all! :mug:

But I bet your plumbing rocks, and you eat heat transfer calcs for breakfast. :)

Ok, here's a couple of (hopefully working) pics of the finished wiring job. If anyone is on the fence about using the DIN rails and terminal blocks, I highly recommend them. I used the Konnect-It blocks like these...

Finished wiring things up last night. Forgot to fix the timer relay and run/stop wiring. The switch above the timer is a simple run/stop maintained switch. I am planning to use the timer (Ink-Bird B2E-2R-220) in the count up mode. If signal is applied to the gate terminal, the counting is...

Here is a rough fit of the panel components, and labels. Started laying out components on the DIN rail and running some of the 10 AWG. Made some changes to the exact layout as I went along. Also double-checked that the PIDs in the panel would not interfere with components mounted...

Moral of the story: use a jigsaw with fine-toothed blade to cut the rectangular holes.

I was originally planning on keeping the grey industrial coating on the enclosure, but my FUBAR'ng of the rectangular holes meant that I needed to paint. So I prepped the surface and laid down some black from a spray can.

How not to cut the holes for 1/16 DIN components and heat sinks: I thought that my Dremel Ultra-Saw would make short work of the straight cuts. It did cut through the panel with ease, but it was easy to overshoot the corners, and the heat burned and destroyed the grey industrial finish in a...

A few photos of the enclosure as I was working on it over the last few weeks: Enclosure is a BUD Industries Series SNB Steel NEMA 4 Sheet Metal Box with Mounting Bracket, 15-3/4" Width x 15-3/4" Height x 7-55/64" Depth, Smooth Gray Finish, Part Number SNB-3737 A bit over $100 from Amazon. It...
