Just like flars suggested you could add a gallon of water to dilute. According to BrewersFriend.com I wouldn't add more than 3/4 of a gallon. Adding more would dilute it further dropping your target OG below 1.042.

The small ones go on my tap handles and the big ones with the brewery logo, I recently made for a couple of growlers that I took to the Home Brew meeting.

Yup, I agree with what you did from Bluedog's response. Keep us updated on the progress!

I changed the diagram to include both STC's on the freezer door like you are thinking about doing. Here's what I came up with for you using the old damper wires that go from the motherboard to the Fresh Food (FF) side. As you can see I don't have another Brown wire splice like you talk about in...

1. No, and below is my reasoning. These are the fans I put in both of my builds. http://www.acinfinity.com/115v-ac-fa...mm-high-speed/ They are solid and I've never had a problem with them. Note that they are 120 volts. Looking at the specs they are 18-22 watts. So lets just say that your...

Just filling in some of the gaps between a couple of PM's we had. The following was asked by kgmac311. I have a few questions 1) With the draw of fans and heater on the FF side, should that warrant an additional relay(s)? 2) Upon assessment of wires available to control the FF side from...

Mark, Love the site and use the calculator all of the time! Any chance of making this show my brewing defaults instead of yours? Maybe setting it up so we have user accounts that the info could be saved to. Just a suggestion, Thanks

Thanks for the reply! It does all make sense now, but still have some questions. 1. When you say "because I wanted to leave the evaporator fan running all the time", that doesn't mean it runs constantly never turning off, it means that when the fridge calls for it to be on it will come on...

Great news! Yeah I knew the controls had to be turned all the way up to 9, since you always want the thing to think it needs cooled. Glad you figured out the STC power goof, as I would never have got that without some pics. Be careful with the compressor delay time and do some reading on that...

Bluedog, Nice build! I'm trying to help out another home brewer here on the site with his Side by Side build that involves a circuit board fridge like yours. I have built a couple of Side by Sides but not one with the circuit boards. I have a couple of questions on one of the posts where you are...

Did you try by-passing the yellow wire entirely by running a temporary wire right to the relay? Did you plug the temperature controls back in? Did you put the thermistors back in after cleaning? I see there is a thermistor attached to the damper connector. is that connected back up? Was...

I'm not sure I understand what you are trying to do. When I modified the drawing, I moved the relay to the compressor area so you didn't have to mount it by the motherboard. Could you put it there, yes, but I figured it would be more protected in this compressor area, and not mounted out in the...

Yes that's possible. You have to make sure you get a big enough fridge though. You will also probably have to take all of the plastic off of the inside of the freezer door. The taps would probably be pretty close together but doable. If you had short tap handles you could probably get away with...

Here is the revised drawing moving the New Relay to the compressor area. I also stuck the Fridge side STC-1000 wiring on it. You should end up with 6 splices/wirenuts in the motherboard area. I didn't add any switches to the fans or heater to keep it simple but would recommend using them. Make...

I can't find where I read up on these to post. What I essentially got out of it was that depending on where the controllers were set, depended on the amount of constant voltage going back to the motherboard. So if that was true, then cutting or interrupting them to go to the STC-1000 would just...

Love the "Hold my Beer"! I should be busy this weekend myself, but have some time over coffee. It sound and looks like its coming along nicely. I am not a draftsman, but an electrician in another life with a firm grasp on Photoshop! I keep forgetting to attach the link for the manual I found...

Well with the 11.2 amps it pulls, I would say that you should go with a relay like Bluedog did since the STC-1000 is only rated @ 10 amps. It doesn’t look like they are very expensive (under $20). As far as the STC-1000 locations I think I would just put one on each door. To me it...

I've been doing some research for your build. With you having the board circuitry for the temp sensors, you are going to have to do something like Bluedog Brewing did, that is interrupting the hot wire going to the compressor. I don't think that you want to cut into the wires of the Temperature...

6 gallons of a White IPA.

I'm in for the "Any Size Bag"!
