Excellent project. I will seriously consider one of these when summer rolls around.

Tasty and worth trying. Especially for Sam enthusiasts, and its only brewed every few years.:mug:

I don't have CAD experience, but I'm very impressed with the power of Sketchup! There are plenty of tutorials on youtube put up by Google. There is probably one on layers. Good luck with the bar.

So you essentially turned the LM34's into a long temperature probe? What type of wire did you use? Any possibility you could post pics?

Impressive controller. I just ordered the 2009 board:) I have electronics and programming knowledge so I'm really looking forward to messing with it although I am just moving to AG so it'll be a while before I actually us it for brewing. Thanks for sharing!

A good use for shirts that no longer fit due to drinking beer:mug:

If money weren't an issue, I would have definitely gone with a Blichmann kettle with false bottom and all that. Since it was, i went with a keggle and haven't been disappointed. It works out well with the valve I installed...

Brilliant! Use an igloo cooler, then use it later on when you convert to AG

It's good you got the temp control issue out of the way first. I failed in that area my first couple brews...

how long was it in the bottle?

Wow, the first is a good find. Saved to my desktop. Thanks!
