    Blichmann Thrumometer--high temp alternative?

    More details on your stand please! Looks neet. Why do you have your chiller on a latching pivot?

    What I did for beer today

    Changed out the pump and some fittings on my glycol chiller. Started cold crashing 10g Amber ale and 10g cream ale. Pump died a week ago so they've basically been in a prolonged d rest all week. 75f is a little warm so I hope they don't end up with some off flavors. Both were in primary...

    My first Collar'd Keezer

    I added some drip trays. They are kegco 8x6 wall mount. I epoxied some gun mount magnets to them for mounting to the keezer.

    My first Collar'd Keezer

    I'm just about finished with my new keezer.. My last keezer had a 2-tap tower through the lid.. which was very easy and quick to do.. but I never really liked it.. it was always a PITA to open the lid and change out kegs.. (tower hit the wall, so I always had to move it around to open it up.. )...

    Relay to Turn On/Off Glycol Chiller Pump?

    nice! glad you got it figured out!

    Relay to Turn On/Off Glycol Chiller Pump?

    the switch on your pump should be already wired to interrupt the "HOT" side of the circuit. you would wire the load side of the SSR in parallel with the switch -- ie, the same lead/wires coming into the switch and leaving the switch will also connect to and from the load side of the SSR. the...

    Relay to Turn On/Off Glycol Chiller Pump?

    if you've not already pulled the trigger on this, you may consider getting a DC/AC SSR instead: http://a.co/5fJcX4X basically the pump switch wiring is parallel with the SSR so you can operate via SSR or via switch.. the 12v pump output goes to the control side of the SSR so that when the...

    Show us your sculpture or brew rig

    I think more pictures are called for on this one! looks interesting.. I like the burned wood finish.. I probably would have burned the house down trying to do that.. :mug:

    Convert Bayou Classic to Natural Gas? Is this possible?

    You're not planning on running your burner in the house are you? I doubt you have enough air flow in the house to allow you not to suffocate.. afaik these burners are not as efficient as a standard stove, the put out a lot more carbon monoxide Just want you to be safe. [emoji41]

    Herms temp monitoring location

    Quick update. I moved my temperature monitoring to the output side of my heat exchanger using a thermowell and throttled my recirculation pump flow quite a bit. I also kept a thermometer in the mash like I had been doing before. This time i was successful in regulating my mash temp +-1.5f...
