Some from a trip to San Diego, California and surrounding area. I have had two hobbies for a while now. My first one is photography of wildlife, birds, and landscapes; and the other is obviously making beer! You can check out a lot more pictures if you are interested at: nk it...

Absolutely, I just wanted to provide some help if needed since this particular topic is part of my day to day job. I understood your post, but I wanted to add onto it for those that are not familiar with networking and DHCP. I used to do the same as you, but there are two reasons why I just...

If it is an IP address that is not in the scope, then you do not need to setup a static\manual\reservation within DHCP since it will never issue an IP address that is not part of the scope. Also, if you use an IP address outside of the DHCP scope, you need to make sure that it is an IP address...

Reservations are supposed to be permanent and never assigned to a different device. That is why I was surprised to see that your router had an option to auto set Reservation for every device connected. Now obviously at a home user perspective, chances are very slim that you are going to have...

The only thing that you have to be careful with only setting a static on the device and not configuring DHCP manual\static\reservation entry is if you choose an IP address in the DCHP server scope, the DHCP server could issue that same IP address to another device. If that happens one of the...

Depending on your router, it is generally easy to configure the DHCP assigned IP address to a Static or Manual assigned IP address. This would be the best way to do it to ensure that the DHCP server does not issue that IP address to another client. It probably would not happen, however it...

I personally do not have an issue with the licensing model. I also have no issues with the OS requirements. I work in the IT field and it is starting to become more common for software to require some form of periodic communication.

Thanks for the info! I ended up going with the XLR connections. I did not want to end up down another rabbit hole for another month or so of research!

I was already leaning towards the XLR connection, and figured just making the cable was best course. The LED power cables are just some extensions that have the same 3 pin connect that the flow meter has on it already. It would not be the most reliable connection to stay connected, and...

Quick easy question, what did you use or recommend to use to connect from panel to the end of the flow meter? BrunDog, I have the one that you have, the plastic one with the end being a 3 pin power plug. I was thinking of using XLR like the RTD connections at panel. If you use XLR, did you...

I know most people using this software have a full electric system, but I am starting out with just RIMS. Would love to see an example of 120V RIMS. I have been looking over schematics for a while now, so I have a good idea of what to do, but would love to see a schematic that integrates...

BrunDog - Do you have a link for the RTD / Thermistor / 1-wire comparison? I am slowly purchasing items for my RIMS build and I am down to RIMS tube \ heating element, SSR, temp probe, and your software.

Peanut Butter Cup Chocolate Stout - All-Grain Recipe Kit

That would make sense, as it is for heating element.

Quick question for you, what are the 3 dark looking items between the 16 channel relay and SSRs? That is the only thing that I am not following as far as what is going on. Is it a contactor that is controlled by the relay? I see that it is connected between the relay and the SSRs, so that is...

EDIT::: Never mind, I did not realize that the relay I was already looking at can switch AC and DC, so I am back on track!!! :::END EDIT I was just thinking about using the MOSFET due to price, and having difficulty finding a relay for 24VDC and 2 amps, as that is what my pump is and did not...

These 2 statements contradict each other! Your description below would not even fall into the "cleaning" it category! You need to be using some form of a cleaner, or boiling water (which you do not want in plastic carboy or bucket) to truly clean and \ or sanitize. "I feel I'm good with...

I e-mailed them as well, they basically said that the pump cannot be modified after the fact and I would need to purchase the pump that has the control built in. It took several back and forth e-mails due to a slight language barrier! So even though it would not work well to control the...

It was good to meet you SGTSparty, and thanks for posting this as I would not have known about it otherwise! It was good to meet the couple of other home brewers that showed up, unfortunately only 1 of the winners was there. Congrats to all those that won!
