    Alternatives to BruControl for Arduino?

    Yeah, I'm selling my old panel at well over 2x what I paid in parts for it. Absolutely helped push me towards a full brucontrol based build.

    Brew kettle with lowest TC for heating element?

    One thing to consider is that you have to also get a TC clamp on that flange.

    I will only be using that ground wire for ground.

    2 Vessel BruControl RIMS 15 Gallon Brewery Build

    And I just want to make clear. For my RTDs I have the correct cable. I just want to make sure it's going to be okay for me to use that cable (I think it's microphone cable) if I use that bare wire as the ground. So for the 3-way valves where there is going to be a 24v open, 24v closed and...

    Correcting other members' grammar

    Sometimes you have to go further than that, and consider what is behind the glass.

    Keg without CO2 tank

    It'll seal and it'll serve many glasses. But... It will go flat and stop pouring way before you finish the keg. No problem at all with priming with sugar in the keg and leaving it for an extended period. And no problem serving a few glasses from it. But it will start losing pressure once you...

    "Homebrew twang" despite controlled fermentation and yeast starter

    Twang is a hard thing to put a finger on, as that is not exactly a recognized off flavor. Everyone tastes things differently. We don't give that concept enough credit on HBT. It is seriously like if when I see red you see orange when it comes to tasting things. So when you taste "twang" I might...

    Looking to Buy RO Water System...

    I see that, but I really don't get it. I mean the difference would be a chloramine filter or not, I would think and I'd say if you have any suspicion that chloramine is used, or might be used, just get the chloramine filter.

    Looks like this. I figure I can still use that as a ground wire? It just touches the shielding.

    Where did my carbonation go?

    Be careful with this. You don't really want to stir your finished beer in the bottling bucket. That will greatly increase O2 exposure. I don't bottle and haven't for a long time, but what I remember is that you want to add the sugar solution to the bottling bucket and then put the beer transfer...

    Looking to Buy RO Water System...

    If you're going to use an RO system I'm not sure you really need a water report.

    2 Vessel BruControl RIMS 15 Gallon Brewery Build

    Another question regarding the 3-way valves. They are powered 24v (open), 24v (close), ground. When connecting to a relay can I use a single relay that has a NO and NC output, or will I need to connect to one relay for open and another for closed? I purchased a 16 relay SPDT board and I have the...

    2 Vessel BruControl RIMS 15 Gallon Brewery Build

    So some car troubles are putting this on a temporary hold at the moment, but I have a question about the kind of cables people are using. I bought some 3pin XLR cable and I'm sure it will work for some things, but looks like not for everything. It has a white wire, a red wire and then a bare...

    Wyeast Smack Pack burst seam when smacked

    A few months back it happened to me. And like you I've used those many many times with no similar issues.

    American IPA Bell's Two Hearted Ale Clone (close as they come)

    Perception of bitterness varies a lot from person to person. Like a lot.

    Looking to Buy RO Water System...

    RO for coffee is a great point! Not only does it keep stuff clean without all the mineral deposits, it absolutely, no two ways about it, tastes better. I use an Aeropress coffee maker and I heat up my water in an electric kettle. I have a jug of RO water for filling the electric kettle and...

    What are you using for an enclosure and monitor for your automated system

    Yeah, I bought a 24"w enclosure thinking I was going big, but I'm really glad I didn't go smaller. Another alternative would be two enclosures, one for high voltage AC stuff and another for low voltage DC stuff.

    Looking to Buy RO Water System...

    Yep, Buckeye Hydro. Have been using one of his systems for a little over 1 1/2 years, emailed to get some info and he was very helpful and prompt responding and I bought replacement filters from him because I appreciate the service, the honesty and the helpful participation he provides on HBT...

    Where did my carbonation go?

    How are you adding the priming sugar? To each bottle or to the bottling bucket? I'd recommend dissolving it in a little water then adding to the bottling bucket before you transfer the beer. Sometimes the capper can make an indentation on the cap if you're being a little over-aggressive...
