I'll be able to plug my new equipment into my existing 50A panel and use it in manual non/brucontrol mode until I receive a few more items and get my panel built. Penguin 1/2hp glycol chiller is on the way. This is something I strongly considered as a DIY project, but ended up going with a...

Yeah, brewhardware is my absolute goto for stuff like that. Always had excellent experiences with them and Bobby_M being an active contributing member here makes them my first choice.

Are you guys talking about concerns using silicone tubing on the inlet side of a standard brewing pump? Because if you are I can assure you MANY of us have been using it there for many years without any issues.

I'm planning to use a stainless steel coil for LODO purposes, but I'm actually not as dedicated to LODO as I was planning to be. But I'll have a 2 vessel RIMS system and I'll pre-boil my water in the mash tun, then use the lid-mounted coil to bring the strike water back to mash-in temp, then...

My plan is to use a compression fitting on the underside of the lid that also has 1/2" npt threads on the outside of the lid, where I will use something like a john guest fitting (or push-to-connect) so that I can easily plug the tubing in or take it off as needed. www.brewhardware.com sell...

Nice! That's a relief. It was a video discussing the various controllers.

I was watching a video on your site and it said it is not recommended for PID control.

I'm currently planning to mount a SS immersion coil to a lid in my 2 vessel RIMS brewery. I also have a steam condenser. I plan to use the lid mounted coil first to chill my strike water from boiling back to strike temps, then move it to the BK and let it get boiled there until time for...

Small bonus question... I purchased the arduino w/screw shield and external wifi shield from @BrunDog I'm assuming it is the screw shield that needs soldering to allow the additional (wifi, ethernet, whathaveu) shield to be added, but that I will be able to remove the wifi shield and add an...

Okay, so I've kind of screwed up... I was planning on controlling my brew system via wifi, and it has taken me this long to discover that it is not recommended. Definitely my fault. That said, I purchased a used Microsoft Surface Pro 3 to use as a touchscreen HMI. I have installed BruControl...

I've been using these flow control compensators for a few years and I really like them. Saves you from having to use a bunch of extra tubing. They aren't cheap but besides making it so you don't have to buy as much tubing they allow you to restrict flow based on whatever, whenever. For...

When I built my keezer, many years ago, I had read the advice that longer is better. The idea that the greater mass of the shank was beneficial. I swapped out my short shanks for longer shanks... So for the last several years I've been fighting with kegs because the ones under the shanks can't...

Mine never had one.

That's what I was thinking as well. You're not wasting wort if it's just sparge water in there. I'll be fly sparging, so it's easy enough to just sparge with a little extra water to account for any losses before the BK.

Makes me wonder... Is a glycol chiller a pretty good way to perform ice distillation?

Man, I don't usually buy extended warranties, but should I get one for the Penguin Chiller? https://www.penguinchillers.com/product/12-hp-glycol-chiller/
