Yea, I see what you mean. I think they're dead set on doing it one way (they already have the case, PIDs, etc). I'll have to check out CraftBeerPi just out of curiosity, I've only looked briefly into BrewPi. The PIDs have some proprietary software that you can run I think, but you have to be...

Hey guys, thanks for the responses. The valve has a power rating of 6.1 watts and if I'm understanding correctly the output is capable of 1250 watts. A relay is looking pretty pointless. So, this would be for glycol. The brewery just had Johnson controls installed as a temporary solution, which...

Hey all, I am working on putting together a small proof-of-concept controller for a local brewer based on some parts he had purchased. I've put together my own Electric Brewing controller (their BIAB kit) and built a few control boxes based on STC-1000s, but I wouldn't call myself an expert by...

The diagram I posted is correct as far as I know. I've built a second one since.you can pick up a nicer pre-built one for $35 nowadays so I'm not sure I would bother with the DIY route anymore.

Thanks!! Nice, I hadn't thought about putting a shutoff at the bulkhead. You can actually see the CO2 bulkhead in the picture without insulation. I took out the hardware while I was insulating, I just need to drill the hole the rest of the way through. I have a 4-way manifold that I haven't...

Yep, I can get beer out of it need be. I've had some line balancing issues and I'm always changing things so I'm waiting to get it all hooked up so I have a stable base. Eh, what the heck - I've attached a couple of pictures. Not done yet of course. I'm going to drill more tap holes later as...

Ok, great. That 25 pack should last me some time then. I've got clamps on all my barbs so far. I'm using worm clamps for now since I had some on hand but I might invest in some pincer pliers eventually. I mostly order online, I don't have a LHBS in the area sadly. I hooked everything up...

Alright, cool. Thanks! I went ahead and ordered a 24 pack of 1/4" gaskets. Is it safe to assume that these gaskets will work with both 1/4" and 5/16" swivel nuts?

Glad I'm not the only one who wasn't aware of this! Haha. I have another similar question to add on to my previous questions. I am starting to hook things up now that my first replacement faucet arrived (yay!). I was about to connect my 1/4" MFL swivel nut to my 1/4" MFL tailpiece... should I...

Ah ok, that makes sense. Thanks for the reply! I have ball lock disconnects which is what had made me think I didn't need gaskets, I knew there was a tip on the end but didn't put 2 and 2 together. Looks like I'll be ordering a few of those gaskets then. Will the ones I included a link to work...

Hi all, I had purchased an MFL connector for my taprite regular so I could hook up my co2 lines to a blichmann beer gun. Part: http://www.homebrewing.org/Adapter-14-mfl-x-14-MPT-rht-brass_p_2704.html When I tried hooking my co2 line up to it via a 1/4" swivel nut, I found that the nipple...

Thanks for the input micro! I went with 4 1/8" stainless steel shanks with a 1/4" bore. I'm planning to use my 1/4" mfl tailpieces with them (also SS), hooked up to 3/16" beer line. I figure the faucet bore is larger anyways so getting a wider diameter on the way out isn't a big deal, vs. if...

Hi guys, I'm in the process of RMA'ing some shanks that I had ordered that are too short. This is for a keezer build. My collar is about 1 5/8" thick. I didn't account for the tailpiece, so I'm short by about 1/4". I plan to exchange the 3 1/8" shanks for 4 1/8" ones. I just realized that the...

Yup, agreed. Figures it resulted in a temp right around room temp :). I tested it immediately after wiring power to it and figured it was working fine since that was about my house temperature. Oh well, I should have a new one tomorrow via Amazon Prime :rockin:. I'll post a picture or two once I...

Whole unit in the fridge still displays around 69 degrees. Very strange that the unit is 'stuck' near 69 degrees while still fluctuating somewhat (~1/2 a degree at most). Oh well, I guess it's time to RMA :(

I've got the brains of my wine cooler bypassed and ran the sensor in through the top light hole, all ready to go... Time to test it out! I very quickly realized that the controller isn't reflecting the actual temp inside the fridge which is noticeably colder (confirmed this with a plain old...

Ok :). Thanks for the input by the way! It's probably safe to say my wiring is OK as things are working fine. Hopefully this thread may help others out who are as confused as I was about the wiring diagram on the controller itself.

Before I saw this post I decided to go ahead and follow the STC-1000 video above. Everything appears to be working as expected. I'm relying on an outlet tester to verify that everything is correct, and I see the right combination of lights indicating no reverse polarity or any other problems...

Hey all, I am in the process of wiring an ITC-1000F to use for fermentation temperature control. I'm a little bit hung up on the wiring diagram. It seems to contradict everything I am finding online, which is mostly for the STC-1000. I'm going for something just like this: Here's a picture of...

First, sorry for the essay :). I found similar results with my first 3 batches. All 3 had a solvent-fusel taste to them and were very similar to one another. I found myself asking similar questions as you. I decided a change was in order, and I needed to further refine my process. My two...
