**** IDEA **** so i am almost done with my brewpi setup, i plan on using 4 temp probs -- beer 1 -- beer 2 -- fridge temp -- room temp My problem is beer 1 works but how do i get a beer two? i would like beer 2 to rotate in the LCD display and then the on the graph show the avg between...

And... now thinking about the alerts to email. it would be nice to see if the Cooling or Heating has been on for more then X hours. this would be handy to see if something is not working well/right. will see if can get this going in the same file.. will update this thread if i get it working...

so.. it looks like this might have been write before the latest version as i would get the same value for the alert.. if you are going to add this to your Rpi use this code for the brewCheck.sh file... #!/bin/bash #Config [email protected] #Set to your email address AlertAt=3.5...

LostPhoenix, i just got this working and agree with Mikmonken that it would helpful to get a text message when -- start of profile, end of profile -- major temp change in profile ( change of X degrees) -- Alert of temp prob not reporting for beer temps if you have any of these...

Bump on price reduction

I am not getting out of brewing just making a change... so I am selling my 10 gallon propane system. I have brewed beer from 4.5% to 11.5% using both pellet and whole cone hops. This system allows for both 5, 10 and 15 gallon batches. Everything is custom built and is easy to clean and maintain...

you can run two elements @ 5500 Watts from a 50amp panel. don't worry about what others say about the over 90% load. it will work fine. i pull 46amps with two elements and two pumps. if your house is old and has a 100amp main panel you might want to make sure your dryer/stove or AC is off while...

this is the reason i went with two elements. the power cost during a brew will be the same (one element on for an hour or two for a half hour). i feel that as long as your panel can do 50amp+ then run two and save the time. With my panel i can select either two elements in the HLT or one in HLT...

I would go with two 5500 watt elements in your HLT. you will heat much faster. In my 20 gallon pot with two 5500w elements i can heat 20 gallons of water at a degree every 30 seconds with the pump on. You can go with the cheaper elements in the HLT, because they are in only water you don't need...

i just tested out my batch and it works just like PBW. I would follow the exact recipe on the first page. I found the Red Devil TSP at ace. The Sun Oxi clean was hard to find .. it's at winco and the seventh Gen at Osh. This is from Norther Ca., if you are looking for where find them in CA.

Why would you want to switch the power? if you are using a PID, then the element will only fire when it's needed. in the long run you would save yourself a lot of time and wiring leaving it at 240 and letting the PID do its job. i would also go with a 50amp SSR. the higher the rating on the SSR...

you buy the parts to clip into the din rail. Check out this link, it's from a build of ebrewsupply. it shows the inside of a control box they built with DIN RAIL. really nice layout. https://www.flickr.com/photos/ebrewsupply/13604930894/in/set-72157643360976365/

yes the contacts, breakers and terminal blocks all clip in... and a relay if you are going that route. I use a relay to make sure the elements are off before the control panel will start. I recommend you check out the parts at ebrewsupply . com. The price on the 63amp contactor is almost worth...

I have two 5500 SS elements in HLT from bobby. i have tested my system with 20gallon HLT and both elements on with my 50amp control panel. So far with my testing i have not had issues. you should be good with running two. I went with two elements in my HTL and one in my boil kettle. The reason i...

I am almost done with my 50amp control panel, a found that a few parts were priced the lowest with them. the 63amp contactor is a killer deal! There are other items you can get a better deal using ebay but you have to wait for the slow boat from china... now that i am almost done with the...

go at least 30"!

i might add a small handful of smoked grain, you will get some of it from the oak chips but not that much. also i use WY1056 on this brew, i like the clean finish with it and maybe one more OZ at 10mins.

i use one of these in my ferm camber, i run it off my my dual stage temp control. i like that it's flexible and thin, just screwed it the back side it's more then enough heat w/ low watts.. Ebay Link

That sounds about right, it takes me 45-50 mins to heat 14gl from 50* to 170*

12gal AG of oak vanilla crown stout. 1.065OG & 11gl AG of Rye IPA. 1.075 OG in same brew session.
