The brewtroller is planned in a second phase…the idea is to come to a full automation process (pump, cooling..) like original braumeister..in this phase I have used a SESTOS PID controller + SSR to drive the heating element..the rest of the process is manually managed. About the silicon...

Hi I’m an Italian homebrewer and I have started some months ago a project in order to build a single vessel electric heated brewing system ..something similar to the well known Speidel Braumeister . The main driver behind this project was to build an “all in one” system very compact, light...

I have no a circuit design and details, I hva bought the controller ready made from a US manufacturer..there are few suppliers of this type of circuits. http://www.tetech.com/Temperature-Controllers.html The PID control is not a big issue..it's quite common in this type of applications..the...

Hi Some more tests in order to monitor power consumption and avoid surprise in the electricity bill! I have inserted on the power supply a basic device that allow to measure current and power (istant and max) In the above example I have a set point of 16.1 and a measured temperature of...

not really yet...just tried with plain water...would like to tune PID parameter, sensor probe positioning, digital potentiometer mapping etc.. With 15L of water the system is stable and I have reached 8C (celsius) as lower temperature with 20-22 c external temp will update with a real beer...

Some more pics and update of the final assembly with the electronic part. Control panel wit 24V switching power supply, PID controller with H-bridge power circuit, digital potentiometer Inside details with fan mounting Back panel mounting Final result , rear, front, top...

Ciao Hi I’m an Italian Homebrewer and I got lot of my inspiration for my DIY project from the forum pages…In Italy the hombrewer community is far away from certain incredible realization but nevertheless I would like to share my experience in building a thermostatic fermentation chamber using...

Thank you for the interesting reference.. I have found some notes about hopquilla...is an unaged whisky (double distillation of 100% barley wash) with infusion of centennial hop.. It combines malt taste and citrus/herbal taste Since I'm not allowed to distill my wort :(...I can try...

A post little bit off topic …does anyone have tried to use the hop for producing an “hop liqueur” ?? :confused: There are many herbs and spices that are used in alcohol infusion in order to produce an after dinner liqueur / digestive I think that bitter and aroma hop could produce a very...

Hi At the end of the day (after one month ) I received the parcel from Hong Kong with the bundle of Sestos PID controller+ K sensor + SSR 25A The package was perfect, everything as listed on ebay and I have paid around 39USD including shipping (no custom duty !) :) So I was very happy and...

:D:D:D Absolutely not...it's a very nice place where to brew...it's an "agriturismo" a farm house ..in the middle af a green region near a lake in the north of Italy ! If you come to Italy you will be my guest in prison ! :mug: have a look to this video that show the place...

Hi here a picture of my 50L brewing system 2 tiers 4 vessels, direct fire for mash and brew kettle, electric heating element for HLT. 2 jet burners and LPG valve control via thermoregulator. Mixer with speed regulator.One pump and divert pannel with quick disconnect for flow control...

Hi Reading a couple of thread related to SESTOS PID controllers I was not able to understand if the model D1S-VR-220 has or not the manual mode control ? I need a manual control in order to reduce the power of the heating element via SSR on the boiling phase in order to avoid over boiling...

Thank you for suggestion and support...it's very fascinating for me to know that someone overseas takes care of my problem ! Some more elements and comments My main doubt is related to the fact that first year..last year...I had no problem and the hop vines was very robust and the harvest...

Hi I’m an Italian Homebrewer following actively the overseas homebrewing activities and in 2010 I have started my hop garden planting some rhizomes UK and Germa varietis. The 2010 the harvest has been pretty good even if was the first year. 2nd year I’m experiencing some problem with...
