Yeah, I'm digging your monitor flip down.

Yeah, it would appear like all of us that use them are following some Minnesotan guy that brews in his basement. lol

I temp average between the RIMS out and the MLT out.

I'm attempting to take it as gentle as possible, I'm about two water batches and one brew batch in and am averaging around 1°F rise per 90 seconds. Ideally this would be 1°F per 60 seconds, but like I had said in previous posts I'm attempting to get this in line with a HERMS system so I'm going...

My biggest concern is the thermal stress on the wort since it's being directly heated. Now I have faith in your quadzilla to overcome this as long as everything is set up correctly. Currently, I have two of the elements connected, I also have the max PID output capped at 50%, I'm temp...

I wanted a fully automated system that would rival what you find in a professional brewery or what other members here have done with theirs. I typically brew 2.5 gallon batches so that I can brew every week, but I also wanted the option to brew 5 gallons for certain circumstances. I've messed...

Also at Nortel if you run into a problem you'll sit on hold, then finally talk to someone about your problem only to be more frustrated than when you first had the problem. Here, you have multiple people that can help you, which typically seems to be user error or inability to read the user...

Just to clarify I'm not missing something, the only way to run my PID input temp from my temp averaging script inspector is to write another script for this correct?

You're a life saver with this issue, I've been scratching my head on it since last night when I first noticed 4/5 were not allowing communication, bent pins back and I'm up and running without problems, Thanks!

That's my biggest worry, I know you've mentioned this before and I would agree with you on the noted flavor difference.

I’m looking forward getting my quadzilla up and running to see the performance of these. I’m banking on these performing as good as you have talked about previously, or else I’m gonna have to convert my new system over to a HERMS setup. We’ll see if we can give Bryan a run for his money on a...

This would be great, I haven't worked much with brucontrol for brewing yet, but I've had autospunding for quite a few batches now and could see the benefit of user control on the graph to make it easier to monitor how many times the valve opened over different time periods.

My bad, I left some pertinent info out, I chill the beer to 55 with the ground water, so I'm only dropping the temp 5 degrees and the room is right around 65 or so. I do 2.5-5 gallon batches. I was looking for ways to limit my need to get another cooling unit as I already have 4 fridges in the...

Quick question for you mongoose, kind of off topic but close enough to the topic. I'm going to be getting a conical, and I have been kicking around the idea of having a removable container with a few gallons of water or water/glycol that I store in my fermenting fridge, which will contain a pump...

Going through the search history I couldn't find anything about this, I'm really liking my proportional valves and was looking to add another AA board to have 5 total proportional valves, has anyone seen any problems with having 2 AA boards?

I would even recommend bigger than 20x24 as it fills up quick. Edit: for drilling holes in the box rotabroach cutters can’t be beat.

I think @Schlenkerla will be your best person to answer this question.

Hit up Utepils, they're low oxygen and make some decent beer, especially their Helles.

I would focus on upgrading your brewery for best practices first, then worry about buying a D.O. meter. Me personally, I kept putting off buying one, now I'm glad I did since I'm completely overhauling my setup to include brucontrol. I'll incorporate automated O2 monitoring and I don't have an...

Yup, that's my procedures now also, except I'm around 5% evap.
