If it works it works. If it were a problem I imagine fixing the upper portion somehow like with a hose clamp, and in the tip of the dip tube fixing tines to the end (or cutting them out with a dremel) to hold the screen away

What are the pros and cons for this vs a jockey box?

Very nice work!

No offense but when I think of people from Roanoke I imagine they're always bare foot*. Also, Babes Chicken! Welcome to the forum from Frisco! *Not really, just part of a bad joke I heard the other day on the radio

You can do these things with a false bottom above the element. https://www.brewhardware.com/product_p/biabbottom13.htm Though a glass carboy might be a little heavy and dangerous, a smaller dia kettle might work better A float switch should work in these instances too. I'm not sure that any...

Off the top of my head I'd say if you don't have wort flowing through the RIMS then don't worry about a float switch. I used an arduino a flow meter like you mentioned. Like this http://www.astrocaver.com/rims/.

Fair enough, just sayin.

If you're going to go down this road you might want to use a photo of your equipment in hand, not a photo pulled off the internet...

That's not to say that materials manufactured with HDPE and marked "2" are food safe...

That's what I'm trying to say: 1 or 2 in a triangle does not necessarily equal food grade. The gray lowes bucket I have in my hand here has a 2 in a triangle (hdpe), according to "Paul the toxicologist" it is best not to use in food applications. Paul claims to have a PhD in toxicology and have...

Both food grade white buckets and regular orange home depot buckets are HDPE. Referring back to the stuff I was talking about in post #2, despite all being HDPE not all are created equal. (edit) looks like the white ones are PE.

There is a 3 part series on Basic Brewing podcast where they discuss food safety IRT brewing equipment with a toxicologist. In one of the episodes he discusses plastic buckets. Essentially, if the bucket is colored (orange home depot, grey/blue lowes, etc.) then it is probably made from recycled...

Are you still seeing some creep? How bad is it, do you account for it? How long is your length of tube? Would you make any changes? I assume the shorter the tube, the less the creep. Would rigid tubing help? Do you have a link to the SS 1/8" NPT x 0.170" barbed elbow? What size caps did you...

In regard to your proposed chiller, I just came across these threads that use it (if you havn't already seen them): https://www.homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?t=574257 https://www.homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?t=597363

I've got an idea, actually I had this idea a long time ago and haven't implement it, sorry if I've already brought it up for discussion and forgot about it. Does your scripting feature allow for the following behavior: on the fly, dynamic boil intensity and/or boil time to achieve a target...

Do you have a picture of your dip tube filter?

ohhh, interesting.

I just wanted to mention since you've mentioned lodo that I doubt lodo guys would approve of that for wort return.
