I wasn't sure where to post this so I put it in Electric and automated. I attempted to test run my new brew stand this evening and ran into an issue right off the bat. Powered on my control panel and went to set my HLT and Mash temp to fire up the burners. I hit "set" and it shows SP, I hit...

I attempted to test run my new brew stand this evening and ran into an issue right off the bat. Powered on my control panel and went to set my HLT and Mash temp to fire up the burners. I hit "set" and it shows SP, I hit "set" again to change the temperature setting and the digital read out would...

I didn't see this in the thread. What did you use to insulate your MLT?

I am a few days away from brewing on my new 3 Keggle single tier stand that I just finished up. I am just making sure that I have my system dialed in to eliminate any unforeseen obstacles that always pop up on a brew day. To the guys that recirculate while mashing have you found that a slower or...

Does anyone know if they plan to make one bigger than 7gal?? I am currently looking for a cost effective plastic fermenter for 10 gallon batches.... Any recommendations? I wish I could afford a SS conical but that won't be for a while.

It is hard to see in that picture but there is actually about 2" opening around the kegs. I tested them before I welded it all up. I might raise them up a bit more if needed.

Almost ready to brew! Waiting on a few more small parts and just need to clean up the wiring.

Finally got it finished enough to test it out. Cleaning up the wiring and a few odds and ends and I should be brewing by this weekend. It has taken me 3 years and I am very anxious to finally make some wort!

All I have to do is clean up the wiring and a few touch ups and I am ready to brew. Been working on this set up for 3 years!

I have spent some time reading through previous posts and have gotten a ton of good information....but I am still trying to figure out which grain mill to buy or build!!! I'm looking for cost effective but keeping quality and consistency in mind. Why did you choose the mill you are currently...

Dubbel and oatmeal stout on Saturday, IPA and Tank 7 clone Sunday. All on my new brew system! Hoping for minimal problems and plenty of good beer!

It is a bock. He is going to bring it over this weekend while we brew so we can sample it and make a decision. No visible signs of mold or contaminants. I am curious to see how it tastes. I was thinking of kegging/force carbonating and seeing what happens. Thanks for the input!

I have a friend that got an extract brewing kit as a gift. He brewed it with me during one of my brew days and never bottled. The beer has been in the carboy with airlock secure for about a year. He called me today and asked if he should just throw it out or if he could actually still safely...

Anyone know a place to get scrap deck plate or discounted deck plate around Houston???

Here is another shot with the keggles. Just need to finish the top with deck plate and paint!

Thanks for the feedback! I will look into those books.

I have just been using recipes from my LHBS and am looking to take my brewing to the next level!

I have been brewing All Grain for a while and am comfortable with the process and technique. I am looking to start formulating my own recipes and was looking for some advice, tips, etc. does anyone have any good books or articles on creating recipes?

Believe it or not the legs of the stand are made out of an old radio tower i got from work. I thought it looked cooler than plain old square tubing. Can't wait to brew on it!

I started building a Brutus type system trying to keep cost as low as possible. With the help of my dad and brother in law it is finally coming together. Here is a pic of the stand before gas lines and final paint. She needs some tweaking and a good coat of paint! Hope to get my keggle and mash...
