    For Sale RIMS package with TC heater and PID controller

    Gently used Blichmann power controller, 240 V 0-100% linear power control (pulse width modulation method) L6-30 (30A 240V) power connections Note, this unit does not read or control the temperature. It worked great for me connected to my boil kettle and also my hot liquor tank. I've...

    Shoutout to BrewHardware.com

    I'm not sure if this is the best location for this post, but I recently ordered and received a new kegmenter fermenter from Bobby_M at BrewHardware.com. What made the experience special was the two 1.5" TC ferrules that Bobby welded onto the side of it. He sent me pictures throughout the...

    switching to no sparge

    I've always done a fly sparge on my 3v system, which contributes about an hour to my brew day. Based on various posts on this forum, particularly by Bobby M, I'm considering doing my next batch as full volume/no sparge. Saving an hour on my brew day at the cost of an extra pound or so of grain...

    RIMS-powered CFC for HERMS

    I currently run a 3-vessel RIMS system which for the most part I'm very happy with and haven't had any issues to date. I do like to brew hefeweizens from time to time though and generally include a low temperature ferulic acid rest. In those cases I'm very reluctant to use my RIMS to step from...

    liquid-out ball lock installed at bottom of fermenter

    I've got a stainless steel fermenter with a 2" TC port on the lid and a 1.5" TC port on the side bottom. The top is just large enough for either a blow-off assembly or a gas-in ball lock with prv (the latter two both purchased from NorCal). I generally use the bottom TC for a rotating dip tube...

    question about ppg definition

    This is probably a bit in the weeds, but when one uses the approximation that DME is 44 points per pound per gallon, is that one pound dissolved in 1 gallon of water or 1 gallon of solution? For my yeast starters it makes a bit of a difference, e.g., about 1.040 vs. 1.044, although I don't have...

    Duotight gas manifold build

    I'm replacing the gas manifold in my small 2-keg keezer (actually a converged fridge) with a duotight manifold with the mini inline regulators from Kegland. I'm planning to install duotight ball valves in order to isolate each keg if need be. Is there any advantage to placing these ball valves...

    good choice for RTD sensor and thermometer

    I'm looking to replace at least one of my inline dial thermometers (currently mounted on the top of a ss cross fitting) that monitors the output of my mash tun and input of my RIMS tube. After looking around I found this RTD PT100 probe from Auberins...

    switching to digital inline thermometer

    During my brew day yesterday, I found that both my inline dial thermometers were reading low by 3ºF (calibrated with my Thermapen, which I trust) even though I had calibrated both a couple of days before (both at freezing and boiling), I'm thinking of going with an RTD type probe at least for...
