    Cheap compact wort pump

    Many people overlook the critical step of pre-heating the mash tun so it doesn't leech heat off the grain. if you want to stay at like 156 or something you'd heat up some water to 180 or so and put a couple gallons into the mash tun before you intend to brew, getting the tun up to a much higher...

    How To: BrewPi LCD Add-On

    You could still use the board with the resistors if you go directly to pins 7,8,9 dd on the arduino. I have a couple ky 040 boards that was using previously without a shield I added a resistor to pin 7 on the encoder board but I don't think it was necessary…

    How To: BrewPi Over Bluetooth

    Dunno haven't used my pizw yet. just figured that since I had no problem just sticking my pi b sd card into the z 1.0 gave me no issues, figured that since it's the same pi only now with wifi and bt it wouldn't be that hard…. Figures

    How To: BrewPi Over Bluetooth

    If you had it all running without a problem on the pi b then why don't you just use the same sd card and put it in the zw. then all you should need to do is update the firmware

    How To: BrewPi LCD Add-On

    The thing about a simple 3d design these days, is that it'll be available for all mankind to use and re-design to their hearts content. I have many designs that have been remixed a dozen times or more. and I see things I made over a year ago get fresh legs every couple of months and become...

    HOWTO - Make a BrewPi Fermentation Controller For Cheap

    2 Ideas, either your fermentation is handling most of the necessary heating for the first 5-7 days and that's why the liquid stays pretty stable, or maybe there is a defrost cycle in the fridge that works on a mechanical timer… basically until it reaches zero again or is tripped by resetting the...

    Cheap compact wort pump

    I don't think you know what you're arguing with me about. Anyway, I lost all my 12/24v pumps last year to a massive flood. im currently building out a temporary solution for my future brewery and I'm switching over to AC power for everything with pou relays. was looking at some pumps like...

    Cheap compact wort pump

    If you were talking about an industrial sized pump, maybe. but the flow rate is so negligible here it makes no sense. you're talking about the difference between 1.5 and 4 gpm with you're speed controller. basically the difference between gravity feed and having the pump on…

    Cheap compact wort pump

    So I mixed up my high temperature non-solvent plastics… my bad. either way they're totally safe for high temperatures. the "bad practice" of using a pwm or other speed controller I was talking about is that most of us will also put a valve on the outflow, so it's kind of pointless to have a...

    They also won't shut down just because of boiling wort. the temp at the motor has to exceed 185c if I remember correctly. at least the hastily translated documentation says so. the mppt control of the motor is an upside and a downside, if you are feeding off a power supply that's slightly...

    Cheap compact wort pump

    I own both versions of topsflo and the beige one y'all seem to love on here. im not putting down one over the other, I just can't stand it when you guys in here state blaring misinformation. you'd be hard pressed to find a topsflo pump in the US today without a coated impeller, since brewing...

    The s5 can be bought in 2 options… polysulphone only, and polysulphone with stainless threads. the d5 is a completely stainless option. all have ceramic coated impellers. imposters may use abs but topsflo does not. I've spent countless emails going back and forth with some us sellers over...
