Harris stay brite is lead free and NSF certified. Here’s the data sheet: https://www.harrisproductsgroup.com/~/media/Files/PDF/Spec-Sheets/Soldering/Lead-free-Solders/STAY-BRITE8Spec.pdf I’d be shocked if Bobby were selling anything that wasn’t.

You need many times your wort volume of prechilled water for this to work in my experience. I can’t do this effectively with a glycol chiller and a 10 gal reservoir at 38f. I might can get to 68 for an ale if I’m lucky, but not 50 for a lager. A glycol chiller will have a much faster rebound...

I used a 3” pvc pipe as a sleeve. Then I ran the insulated lines through the pipe and filled any air gaps with spray foam. The pipe itself is about 1/2” longer than the wall is wide and held in place nicely with caulk. This is basically the same method they used on my house a/c to bring the...

Totally agree it is another part that can fail. Any part you add to a system is of course. Fail closed should only happen in the situation where the contacts physically weld together inside the contactor. The contacts are spring loaded such that if there is no power applied to the...

Wait, so are you saying that a contactor is not the same as physically disconnecting? My understanding of a contactor is that when open, they are an open switch no different than a switch you physically flip off.

Personally I like the added safety of using contactors just so I know that’s not 50amps flowing through the part I have to touch. Also, electric brewery sells them for $15 ea. That plus a 120v low amperage switch is less than the Auber switch rates for >50A.

AI is marketing speak for a feedback loop in most cases. ‘Training datasets’ used in big data basically just set the algorithms equivalent of the p,I,d params

I used one in the first iteration of my chiller because I had one laying around. It works exactly the same as the window units.

I'm building a new electric brewery and just saw this thread. I'm hoping it will save me some money and get me up and running faster. I happen to have a bathroom fan mounted in my brew room right over where the kettles will go because the builder wouldn't install the vent hood for me but was...

I just used a couple wraps of reflective insulation (https://www.lowes.com/pd/Reflectix-50-sq-ft-Reflective-Roll-Insulation-24-in-W-x-25-ft-L/3011904). Since theres a fair chance of it getting wet, I didn't want to pick something that could become waterlogged. It's enough to do the job for me...

100% agree with mongoose33. Uninsulated I could never get my conical down to 34F in my garage. Ambient temp there is typically in the high 80's during the summer. There would also be a puddle forming under it from humidity condensing. Insulating made a world of difference not just in what...

Vinyl works fine, but it does get stiff when it gets that cold. It's what I use just because it was cheap. Silicone is better if you want to spring for it. PEX works well if you're hard plumbing. Lots of people use RV antifreeze. Since it never comes in direct contact withy our beer, it...

Ah yes. It’s a camco 240v 5500w element, so wired for 120v it’s putting out 1375w

It's wired for 120v.

they make twist-lock connections too that make it less likely you'd knock the cable out by accident.

That all looks awesome! Is the wall behind it brick veneer? I was really wanting to do that in my brewery I'm building, but the bricks seemed to cost many times what tile does. Where you able to find a good deal on it somewhere?

I'm reworking my system and going electric. As a result I have my old rig for sale. I'm asking $150 for everything. Local (Apex, NC) inquires only as I can't imagine what this thing would cost to ship. The rig comes with 2 10" burners...
