How tall are your ceilings in that room? Looks like a great project but I'm not sure I would have the vertical space to build a hood then add the condenser to the top of it.

Lucky post!

Love the build. I am thinking of trying to do a similar pump and I was wondering where you found those spring arms so cheap?

I'll chime in and agree with P-J and Lost. Hatfieldenator's suggestion is probably a little more accurate but I think it his solution adds a large amount of complexity for only a small improvement in the system. As P-J says just make sure to stir or recirc your HLT to prevent stratification and...

I think P-J is saying that you would continuously recirculate through the HERMS coil. Since your HLT is always set to your mash temp this will keep a near constant temp in the MLT. This is also why there is no need for a second temp probe. The first batch you do you will want to manually...

Nice build! This might be a dumb question but how are you planning on tuning your PID loop? I was thinking about doing something similar but I couldn't decide if it would be worth the time to write some auto-tuning code or if I should just manually tune the loop. Just looking for other opinions.

I put mine in a grain bag and added them at flame-out then I moved the bag to primary after transferring the wort. It turned out pretty well but was a little strong on the lemongrass flavor. If I did it again I would make sure I could get the bag out after 3 or 4 days.

Thanks, I actually just read the post on your turbid mash lambic. I wish I could do that but I will be moving soon and I don't want to disturb the beer while it ages. I guess I'll be brewing a lot of hefeweizens and wits for a while. Thanks again for the info!

I just came into possession of a huge amount (~200#) of hard white wheat. I know that it is called for in traditional lambics but I was wondering if I could use this to replace any non malted wheat (flaked or torrified)? Any suggestions are appreciated :mug:
