I did some searching on stepped starters and decided to do that. I'm hoping to get a lot more from this. That's too bad that yeastcalc.com is still down. I'm not sure what you mean by this?

I did my first yeast washing on Thursday night and I have a concern with the amount of yeast I harvested from it. I added 4 pints of sterilized water to the yeast cake and agitated it for about a minute. I then drained off 4 pints into separate pint jars and let it set for 30 minutes. The...

Thank you kombat...

Last night I brewed an AG grain batch and took a SG reading after mash out. It was 1.034 compensated for temperature and the wort volume was 7.5 gallons. I forgot to take a post boil SG reading before I pitched the yeast and put it in the fermenter. The post boil volume in the fermenter is 5...

Thanks!...I tried to take my time and obviously used Kal's as a template. His site was was extremely instrumental to my success.

I just went out and "fiddled" around with it again and decided to plug in the RTD thermo and voila, it worked! I guess the Auberins PID has a feature that won't allow the element to fire unless the thermo is plugged in?

I just spent the last couple months building my new eHERMS system and completed it late last week. I spent this past weekend putting it through its paces to make sure everything was working properly. It worked perfectly! I ran 2 "mock batches" through the whole system with just water and...

Thanks for everyone's input...Cam locks are available at my LHBS and it seems they are a good product.

I want to get some opinions on which Quick Disconnect to use on the eHERMS system I am building...Cam vs the "click" type. Is there any difference in them other than how they attach? for reference here are 2 pictures to them: Cam version Click version Thanks, Marshall

Woops...forgot your diagram P-J

This is the diagram I need for 2 element, single PID, 2 pumps right? I'm assuming the timer shouldn't be that hard to wire into this? Can I put the "Panel Power 2-way switch" instead of the E-stop? It looks like there is a 2-way switch in place of the 3-way switch for going between...

I guess I wouldn't need the second PID if I could control the BK and HLT with one PID. I have to assume that I would need an extra 3-way switch to go between the BK and HLT? I already ordered the 2nd PID and corresponding RTD thermometer...let me know so I can either stop the shipping of these...

I've searched for a wiring diagram for the panel I'm making on a eHERMS build and can't seem to find what I'm looking for. I get close with a couple of PJ's diagrams but not exactly what I'm looking for. I posted a similar question in a different thread and somebody there suggested I post the...

You have a wiring diagram for this? I'd rather do what I originally ask for, but I haven't bought the 2nd PID yet.

I've searched for a wiring diagram for my panel and can't seem to find what I'm looking for. I get close with a couple of PJ's diagrams but not exactly what I'm looking for. Can somebody direct me to what I need? My panel will have: 2 - 5500 watt elements 2 - Auber 2352 PIDS 1 - Auber...

It was now time to make my heat exchange coil. While researching this build on HBT I came across a few posts saying that Home Depot had a clearance on 1/2” copper coil so I dropped into my local store and there was 50’ for less than $20!!! I have made a couple copper coils in the past for...

I just completed the first part of my electric brewery, the eHERMS HLT, and I thought I'd post some pictures and step-by-step instructions in case somebody may need some help or inspiration with their build in the future. I am by no means an expert on the subject and have never built a HERMS...

Perfect sir...thanks for the picture as well! Marshall

Yes, those measurements would be great to have...thanks. Marshall

Does anyone have an opinion on the below? 25ft coil or 50ft coil? Total height of coil? Placement of the coil in relation to the bottom of the keg Placement of the heating element in relation to the HEX coil or the bottom of the keg I was able to pick up some very inexpensive 1/2" copper...
