Yeah. I found that. Looks awesome. My goal was to run the PCEngines WRAP with Linux and Tomcat/Apache and run the whole thing on there. Control it through the web interface. I can't seem to find anything that does exactly what I need though. I was just wondering if anyone had seen anything...

Hey, So I have used custom built PLCs, but I have a spare PCEngines WRAP (Which has GPIO/I2C/EtC) handy and was curious if anyone has seen or used a PLC/PID/SCADA package for Linux? Specifically looking for something Open Source/Free? It has been a while since I was actually in the industry...

McMaster - 5238K615 for the hose... I had to special order the barbs from a supplier.

Best I could do at the moment is a Google Docs Drawing. Basically I would have a 220V 4 wire input to the box (Black, White (Dashed in Drawing), Red, and Green). You can make a "dongle" if you want it to also have a NEMA 5-20 or whatever you want (depending on current requirements etc). The...

I run about 5 feet of braid reinforced 1/8 inch at 35 psi and it comes out great. Similar setup on my carbonator, just a longer line (about 10 feet). You have to dial it in. The 1/8 adds a lot of resistance so if you have to much it will gas out in the line. As for the 30 feet of...

Seems like it would work. The problem I see is that it isn't really easy to bend and get into the correct spot. It just seems like it could be a bit annoying to build it, but I'm curious to see it.

They are basically all the same controller. You would have to retune the controller obviously and change the settings since I assume the probe you are using is different. But they are all using a PID controller. For the big green egg I assume you are going to use the PID to throttle a fan...

As an aside I use 1/8 and 3/16 tubing for my soda... depending. I use the 1/8 for my soda so I don't need 30 feet. It took a while to get the right length though.

You could serve at lower pressure, but your soda would eventually reach a new equilibrium pressure(your serving pressure). You pretty much need to serve at carb pressure unless you drink it fairly quickly.

Not sure.. by tagging since I am interested.

I was planning to cut the sugar and keg it, so that is less of a concern for me, but you have a valid question.

Sounds good.. I think I'm going to try a 1 gallon batch.

Not really sure, but I would think so. The output of the regulator shouldn't exceed the regulator pressure. Why do you think it isn't working? Make sure the gauge is on the right side of the regulator and the flow is the correct direction. I had that problem at one point.

I wound up buying a 3400W 240V Oven Element... I'll post some pictures once I build it.

Ha. Phone autocorrect. Basically dryer elements are higher wattage, but bare Nichrome (eg live at 220v). Oven elements have a Nichrome wire with high temp insulation. This protects from food and other crap on the element causing a short or burning up the element. Make sense?

See corrected below. Auto correct on my phone sucks.

Anyone made one? I acquired a drum and am leaning towards building an electric one. I am trying to figure out what type of element to use. Trying to figure out the difference between a dryer heating element and an oven one.

As far as I know to sell ANY alcohol you need a liquor license to make it (ATF wants their money). Anything you make at home can't be sold.

Right. Completely forgot. It almost looks purpose built.
