    Cleaning a counterflow wort chiller

    Should be fine by running some pbw through the chiller. I would probably run the solution through in both directions. Follow that up by running starsan through it.

    Wiring 2 temp probes to one PID. Possible?

    Agreed. There is no reason for multiple temp probes. However, if you want to have multiple temp probes setup to one pid the simplest option may be to purchase multiple probes from auberins and install a temp probe in each kettle, tun, etc. Then just switch the sensor cable connected to the pid...

    Another E-HERMS Build...

    Good luck with the build. I just finished my e-brewery build and absolutely love it. On a side note, after looking at your diagram I think you may need to add one more valve. The top left of the HLT has a 90* into a T fitting, I think you need a valve on one side of the T, if not than the...

    HELP. Is my SSR bad?

    What do you mean by connect a lamp to the output? Disconnect the side coming from the SSR to the element contactor and connect a lamp in its place? I feel like the SSR isn't even getting power from the pid...

    HELP. Is my SSR bad?

    Also, there is definitely 120v coming in to the SSR from the power relay, but only like 20v coming out the other side. I have pin 7 from the pid to the + of the SSR and pin 8 to the - of the SSR.

    HELP. Is my SSR bad?

    So I finished up my control panel yesterday, very similar to Kal's build. Didn't really mess with it to much last night other than pluging it in and seeing if everything turned on (did not hook up elements). Get up today and hook up elements and heres what happens. If there is no element...

    New Homebrewer in SC

    Lexington, SC. Small world, I went to high school there many years ago. Actually did my undergrad at USC, but now I live in FL.

    Where to buy used 15 gal kegs?

    Craigslist has always been the way I have found them. You might have to branch out your search and be willing to drive a little bit. Maybe a scrapyard, but that seems highly unlikely...

    Another E-build

    Pliny the Elder turned out pretty good. Actually used a recipe I found online, I can send it to you if you would like. As for pictures, more are coming either tonight or tomorrow. I cut the system on for the first time today about 1 hour ago. Hearing the relay clunk and nothing going wrong...

    Another E-build

    I appreciate the compliments on the Keezer. It is probably my favorite thing out of all my HB equipment. As for yours, trust me I have seen your thread and was thoroughly impressed by the rustic feel and overall look. Great job. As for 4 taps, I could use another as my keezer will hold 4...

    Another E-build

    Yeah its the lid. Probably should have taken it off, but didn't really think about it at the time.

    Show us your Kegerator

    Pics are from the day I finished the keezer back in February. Since then I have added two more Perlicks and bought a stainless drip tray. Seeing as my woodworking skills are certainly nothing to brag about, I think it came out pretty well. The switch controls leds under the taps and the unit...

    Another E-build

    Here it goes... Like many, I recently jumped on the electric bandwagon. In short, I was fed up with my propane setup and was intrigued by Kal's setup (SWMBO not so much). Fortunately she is understanding and supports my brewing habits. After a good amount of research, I began ordering parts...

    Keggle valve - weld or not?

    While I have heard of aluminium kegs, all of mine (and most that I have seen) are stainless steel. With that being said, I have used all weldless fittings on my setup and have no complaints. If you get the correct size orings and fittings you should have no issues. Some do prefer welded...
