I’m revamping this old post and I’m wondering if there is any update on the project to be inspired since I have started a similar project with “washing machine” approach so a single box with a rotating drum and a control system for steeping, germinating and killing automation...

Thank you for your enthusiasm for the project ! Italian homebrewer community is quite active and I enjoy a lot to share with them my project..but as you can imagine for me going overseas and be guest in your forum where DIY homebrewing approach is so spread give me great stimulus and...

Hi I’m an Italian homebrewer and after experimenting brewing and DIY and automation of my equipments in different direction I have started a new project that I would like to share The idea is not new…producing a batch of beer from A to Z from the ground to the glass. I have alredy an hop...

Subscribed..incredible post..lot of info for my DIY drum malting automated equipment and barley growth project here in Italy Just few pics..building details post will follow David Sent from my Nexus 7 using Home Brew mobile app

Thank you so much:) It’s a nice equipment that is compliant to initial spec…simple, light, compact and easy to use I’m using it since one year and I’m quite happy with the result (for ordinary OG beer) Abut the splashing I don’t think it’s an issue…in traditional mashing usually there is a...

lot of questions and I try to answer but please consider that I'm Itlian so regarding sourcing of component is not immediatlely applicable to you :) The plug for the stove pipe can be bought where you buy the stove pipe..it's common component My batch size depend on the final desired...

Interested to this thread... Trying to understand if you have enough power with 220V power supply to bring to boil my single vessel all in one (BIAB) 5gal system. The idea behind is to have uniform heating in all the phases I have a 35cm diameter kettle with 30cm height so I have a rectangular...

Hi is there anyone that can hlep me understanding the Arduino PWM frequency issue ? thank you and helo from Arduino native town in Itlay regards Davide

Hi very nice project and implementation. I'm an Italian homebrwer and I have build more or less in the same time a termostatic fermentation chamber with peltier cells that looks like yours ! instead using an arduino controller I have used a ready made TEC controller from tetech with PID...

I have thought a little bit to this simple solution but I see a couple of mechanical problem... PELTIER cells are typically flat..not flexible...so you should find a way to adapt the flat surface to a curved surface of a cylindrical fermenter..and find a way to press the cold face towards the...

Very very cool… after the completion of my single vessel braumeister clone controlled by SESTOS PID regulator I’m moving to and Arduino based controller too ! I love arduino philosophy …and I come from the town (Ivrea) where arduino team has developed the board and the system (I live...

Nice and interesting piece of HW...never seen before an "air dryer" I think in principle your set up is good...any way to cool glycol is OK...and once you have a cooled fluid you can condition your wort, If you are so lucky to own a jacketed fermenter is better...in my case I use a chiller...

You are right ..I'm not exactly compliant to safety rules...but it's a work around invented since my standard airolck wasn't fitting well..:) From your description I ‘m not able to understand your set up…I understand you use a CPU waterblock with a single cell..but how do you cool the...

Great ! I'm doing the same with an Arduino board but for controlling the cooling system (peltier waterblock)...same philosophy...PID + PWM output very enthusiast of the Arduino DIY automation enabler...and I come from the Arduino orginal Town..Ivrea in Italy where arduino project has been...

maybe I don't understand your proposal but switching from cooling to heating is much simpler...you only need to invert the voltage on the peltier !! You change by electronic control (h bridge circuit) the current flow (+ and -) and that's all...the hot and cold face revert... With proper PID...

I got in contact with the CoolIT support but officially there is no chance to hack that value...moreover the product has been discontinued and the engineers have left the company ! I have also verified some old forum threads and any configuration file / register key on the PC …but with no...

some update on the fermentation progress.. fermentation is going well with more than 50% attenuation...temeprature is stable and since Saturday I have used around 2Kwh short video with english label ! enjoy Davide

one more picture with the stainless steal coil submerged in the wort Davide

It would be an honour for me to provide a contribution to BYO in the DIY section…! :D If you or someone else know how to submit the article or has any direct contact is appreciated

Thank you for the compliment…I term of performance I have not calculated a sophisticated thermodynamic model…my approach was more empirc based on what I’m able to source on the surplus market at a reasonable price. Nevertheless some figures are available and I’m pleased to share..maybe you can...
