You should be more that fine. In fact I have to slow my flow rate down with a valve to change temps in my HEX chamber quicker, longer time in contact with the coil. My boil kettle recirculate through about 25 ft of pipe and still will whirlpool a full keggle and it's running by a sensor I...

I'm not sure the placement really matters too much as the fittings are going to assimilate to the same temp as the fluid moving through them, you may lose a degree possibly 2 is my thinking. I have all of mine perpendicular to the flow though. If your runs are short enough you shouldn't have...

I like your box :D Seriously that's a pretty slick straight forward system. Have fun with it!!

Good call Brumateur! I used the PVC coupling JB Weld method of enclosing the wiring so the terminals aren't accessible. Assuming I complete the test across both legs would 10 ft of 12 ga wire add any resistance? Typing before I think again, with that big of spread I doubt the wire could add...

It's been a few years since I set up my system and I can't remember if the element I have in my HEX chamber is 120v or 240v. I know it was originally 240 but it was too long and too close to the temp probe so I replaced it with a shorter one and haven't tested it yet. If it is 120 volt and...

I have the hops listed below that have been in the freezer in original packaging, think hop union vac sealed or silver vac sealed from brewmasters warehouse. Near as I can tell they are either from 9-2011 or 8-2012 based on my order history from brewmasters. I know they won't be as great...

Probably screwed. Showing Monday delivery on tracking. I can get my starter done tomorrow anyway.

The brewing **** you ordered is sitting a box in a USPS sort facility on a Saturday and your mailman just brought you a load of junk mail :mad: Well nothing to do now but wait 48 hours for delivery then stare at the box all week until I'm able to get time again. Stupid...

What is a good price on 50 lb bags of base malt? Hops seem to be around $3 an ounce still

I'll have to check that out, I travel a fair amount for work but just Columbus Cincy Dayton areas. Do they have a mill on site, and how are their prices?

Hola all, I've been out of the brewing scene for about three years now but am finally able to dive back in. Does Columbus have any new homebrew supply houses worth checking out? I typically would use brewmasters warehouse previously but figured if I could support local I would. I know there's...

Nope, not that type unfortunately. Once I wrap my mind back around this monster I'm pretty sure it isn't an absolutely necessary component of the system but I'm sure I can find a replacement if I dig hard enough.

I haven't a clue. I built the system 4 years ago and only got to use it a couple times before my son was born and you know the rest of that story :) it's been collecting dust in the basement for over 3 years but I'm in a place now when I can start brewing occasionally again. I was hoping I...

Going through dusting off my system and discovered or remembered I have a motorized stainless ball valve on the bottom of my HLT that won't open. I changed out the yoke last time I used the system 3 plus years ago. The motor works fine but it doesn't have enough power to open the valve. I took...

Crisis averted!!! OSCSYS sent me shipping confirmation a few minutes ago. Now if I can just remember how this thing works........

So I finally get life calmed down enough I can think about brewing again after a 3 year hiatus only to find out that Brewtroller is in limbo. GRRRRR. I ordered a replacement 1-wire temp sensor from OSCSYS yesterday but I noticed today they said the last shipping date would be 9-30-14 so I'm not...

not sure where the problem came in but temp sensors (one wire) were reading fine when I was cleaning up the system to start brewing. Started the program and sensors were all reading 31, now none of them are reading at all. Anyone???

great info on getting the things put back together, but that's the easy part. I always have a hell of a time getting the ring out. I've broken several small screwdrivers doing it. Thank god I found a bunch of ball locks at the scrap yard!!

Not so fast my friend!! Fido shouldn't drink ANY alcohol, it can kill him!! Read the link below. There are reports of people surviving jumping out of a plane without a parachute, but I wouldn't want to try it, you get the point. http://www.veterinarypartner.com/Content.plx?P=A&A=2059
