1st ArdBir Contest !! Post on our Facebook page your BIAB system ArdBir powered and WIN a assembled all in one board https://www.facebook.com/pages/Open-Ardbir/606829852720387 Basic rules • write on the post “ArdBir contest” • describe briefly your set up (SW and HW version, litre...

As anticipated as follow up of my tests I'm trying to insulate the pot in order to increase efficiency and heat transfer I have selected a very special material with incredible insulation power in a small thick : Aerogel I got some foils 5mm from UK company The blanket seems easy to cut ad...

We are going on with the Open ArdBir all in one board test and firmware 2.8 test I can say that is a little masterpiece , compact, easy to assemble and integrate in the front panel Here is how it looks like inserted in a proper case with transparent front panel And here the complete rig...

The new prototype boards all in one with arduino uno (atmel microcontroller) embedded are ready for testing with the last Open Ardbir software The best dedicated HW with the most advanced brewing automation software

Las Sunday I have performed as promised some tests with current configutation: 25L of water , silicone heater direct connected to power supply (220V AC) without any controller Recirculating pump always on, digital temperature probe and a wattmeter on the main supply Every 10...

same answer than to other people complaining with the low efficiency how does the two widespread systems work ?? BIELMEIER http://www.bielmeier-hausgeraete.com/bielmeier-maische-und-sudkessel-edelstahl-040001-1 BRAUMEISTER...

This is for sure Kal..the system is a BIAB with recirculation from bottom to top Yes you are right the idea is to mange 5gal batches, not sure that 2,5KW is not enough for boiling…I had in the past (long time ago ) may brewday with my glorious bielmeier pot that is 1.8Kw and indeed...

You are right the best efficnecy can be achived by immersione heating Not clear to me this point , in term of control you can apply the same strategy and systems (Typically PID/PWM with SSR) Maybe in US everything is "big" but here in italy the maximum household power is 3KW and off...

Lot of news since last Savio update of the ArdBir project you canfind all details in the official FB page https://www.facebook.com/pages/Open-Ardbir/606829852720387 new SW versions with lot of features new HW with all in one board , compact and deidcated stay tuned Davide

It’s an idea that I have since long time ago: use external silicon flexible heater band in order to mange the mashing and boiling process The advantages are more than one, have uniform heating without scorching the worth with immersion heater, have an internal surface without any interference...

Hi guys A couple of update related to my all in one clone solution and Ardbir team development 1) Silicone Heater It’s an idea that I have since long time ago: use external silicon flexible heater band in order to mange the mashing and boiling process The advantages are more than...

Hi Luc I have tested few times with hot water and it works fine Unlucky I have no chance to test completely with an all grain batch Have a look also to Open Ardbir automation ..great piece of SW and HW Have a look to some video on you tube mysobry channel http://youtu.be/IOFzzH10K78...

The project unlucky has been stopped for personal issue Hope In the future I come come back an complete the development bye Davide

Thank you spellman for support and encouragement, very appreciated! My starting point as DIY and technology enthusiast was little bit different: build an all in one fully automated micro malt house (see the initial part of the post) Then in order to experiment the manual malting process I was...

I have collected the minimum amount of grains after the manual thrashing and I try to separate the good from the bad using a sieve and a 12v fan The result is not so bed after 2-3 cycle even if the small seeds of zizzagna are still present. I think I can eliminate them during the soaking phase...

This we I have continued with the manual approach trying to get some grain from the harvested barley Going back to the ancient method I have built a special tool in order to beat the barley on the ground After a couple of hour of work I was able to get some seeds and strow..and using a DIY...

Today I have tried to harvest barley regardless the huge amount of "zizzania" I have used the manual method with sickle ...it has been quite hard and I'm not so satisfied with the result and due to the amount of wild grass I have collected all together Now I distributed over a tarpaulin In...

Thank you very appreciated ! About manual approach I think I have also to make barley harvest manually..my little field is too little for big machine and moreover some "zizzania" has overrun my poor barley This week end i can enjoy with hard manual work..with 34c degree

You are welcome and more than happy to drink a beer with you but I live in Turin area on north west of Italy while Treviso is in north east...in case drop me a pm Ciao and have a nice stay in Italy
