A cooler is not necessarily bad for HERMS, As long as you can recirculate out a bottom valve. But for MASH temp you will get some varying answers. Some people will read the temp of the wort on the output side... And some will read on the input side. I will be reading from a 1/2 NPT "tee"...

ops missed that!

I am guessing you know that refractometers present error once alcohol is formed? there are correction factors... But better to switch to a hydrometer for SG readings. Refractometer is best kept to OG readings.

Fully insulated, but you do get a few drips off the triclamps and such, even the walls a bit if your really driving it hard at 35* with 90+ humidity out. Might get a bit of drip, I would not put it over carpet but it doesn't create a flood either.

as long as you can get the math to work without over carbing the beer you should be ok. I hear "flow control" taps can help with balancing. if the pressure requirements are too high you will have to go to beer gas.

This is what I did on my 15 gallon Jacketed conical to be able to run 5-10 gallon batches... I run i believe a 21"(?) thermowell in one of the top 1.5" triclamp holes for my glycol temp reading. and just use the front thermometer as a double check. The 5 gallon batches are below the level of...

Those roller stands are awesome! I love my Brewers hardware 15gal jacketed. great tanks

In general the N2 tank will not care... But the CO2 has a better chance of freezing up inside the kegerator. you will also may not get as much notice when the tank is running low Co2 is vastly different pressures and ratios of liquid to gas based on temp, but I would have to verify the numbers...

Just for fun... what does a inline O2 monitor look like? I know it will probably price me out for now. But good idea what to keep an eye out for.

good to know! By the way good to see your still around Bobby. You were around when I was still back in Jersey over ten years ago now

FWIT, you will also get 120v between any of the hot legs and ground ... for instance on my house panel(not sure if its to code, edit I re read it and it CAN join ground and neutral at the main panel just not a sub panel(I'm not an electrition) but the neutrals and grounds all join together at...

These are the two DO meters I have... don't know too much about them yet. have some more reading to do how to use them

Interesting, I have two DO meters but I think they are both probe type(I'll post em up when I get home and start figuring out what I have). An inline DO probe has much better potential for data logging and figuring out a process that works. I'm guessing between using my 9000watt HLT to...

Orders in! Hopefully it all works out and makes me some tasty beer for the next 30 years to reach the break even point o_O! FWIT, I don't think I saved much money maybe a few hundred piecing it together from different sites and such... BUT there were NO options on the open market that...

Thanks Postalbunny! that has been incredibly helpful! I Have a list of parts basically together. A mixed order between Auber and Kal's shop. I will be using the four 22mm holes in the bottom for element indicator lights, HLT1, HLT2, BK, and RIMS. top row will be a lighted switch for Water...

I'm having some difficulty finding reference to N2 use for O2 absorbtion. I'm guessing it reduces to N2O? I know Pat had a lot of knowledge about Scuba diving and gas mixtures.

Looks like my HLT is 2 x 4500w, RIMS is 4500w and BK is 4500w. So even with only one HLT element firing that's still 62Amps on my system. Guess I need to give up on that dream unless I want to hardwire to a dedicated panel. BUT, if I had an HTL1/RIMS switch and a BK/HLT2 switch I could get...

That would be it, and super sad but hes always got a new project going to keep him self busy! I'm impressed your rocking the micromotions as well! Quick question since I try not bothering Pat too much with questions, Why didn't he use a sealed Mash tun? and I see he used an "o2 absorber"...
