I was tired of trying to balance two valves during the final sparge/transfer into the boil kettle. So, build a little electric based valve control system. A simple on-off-on switching power to a stainless float valve and motorized ball valve. Here's an example without water MATERIALS -...

I've been on the look out for a cheap(er) DIY sparge arm that allows for a more even and gentle flow (even at full pump). I've just about done it all and found many have some weaknesses (price, plastic, channeling, cleaning, etc). So the basic idea is to repurpose off the shelf components. It's...

My journey started with the issue of my DS18B20 sensors not reporting data in CraftBeerPi 4 after many hours of uptime. I tried many things, different resistors, capacitors, 5v rails, etc (though two different busses seemed to help). It seems that in conjunction with not great OneWire support...

Surprisingly I didn't find any threads on this. So stainless can be a pain to bend and is expensive but doesn't rust or verdigris, copper can bend easily but can also be expensive and does verdigris. And yet aluminum tubing is cheapest and provides the best heat transfer, easy to bend and no...

I'm sorry if this topic has been covered before, but, I can't seem to search and find this information anywhere. Is there a way to increase Sulfate without increasing Calcium or Magnesium? Seems the common way to increase sulfate levels is to add either Gypsum (calcium) or Epsom (magnesium)...

Looking to change out my PID to something with manual control and saw this guy replaces the regular Inkbird with the omron relays. I currently have the Mypin TA4 w out manual mode.

I'm new to the HERMS process but have been brewing now for about 5 years. I'm planning of doing 5ish gallon batches, I have a 15.5 gal converted keg for my MLT and an 11g pot for my BK. I picked up a 30 quart pot as a HLT and to house my HEX coil of 20 ft (copper 1/2"). I'm curious if this is...

If my math's correct 2.5 volumes co2 for 5 gallons beer @ 32f = 12.5 gallons co2 @ 32f 1.5 vol co2 for 5 g beer @ 32f = 7.5 g co2 @ 32f measurement -> 1cf = 7.480 US gallons OR 1 US Gal = .1336cf measurement c02 -> 1cf = .1144lb OR 1lb = 8.741 CF 7.5g gallons co2 for 1.5 vol co2 for 5g beer =...

Moved into West Springfield from Springfield about two months ago and was wondering if any locals that use the same water source have had their water tested to see what the mineral content is. The city report only does contaminants. Or possibly gain some info on how your brews are going with...

Just wanted other to be aware of this http://www.amazon.com/dp/B001H4JXLU/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20 And there's an open source software for it http://mocoworks.bistrobrew.com/ Looks like you could control and watch numerous fermentations.

So I've been looking to make or get a cheap temp controller for my fridge. I saw the thread on the Hunter home thermostat build and decided to try it myself :) I got the Filtrete (by 3M, cheapest dual mode un-programmable, digital thermostat) at HD on sale for $13, the 24a/240v SSR was about $5...

Just saw this perusing CL... older but working (from what it says). I have one just like this I just got for free or else I'd jump on it. http://westernmass.craigslist.org/app/3676940197.html

Not sure if he's on the forum, and I didn't see a post on it. Cool stuff though :) http://www.blueleafsoftware.com/Resources/EmbeddedSand/Malt_Kiln "Malting barley is a critical step in the brewing of a nice beer. Brewers rely on maltsters to craft this ingredient. It involves soaking the...

This a from a ESB I just transferred into my secondary. I have to admit I didn't get all of the yeast/trub from the primary. However, as the picture shows it settled to the bottom in true 1968 high flocculation fashion :) I actually siphoned much of the trub with a turkey baster (sanitized of...

So I figured I'd start working on getting data on all hops. I've started with the US based off of the www.usahops.org website. I'm still kind of working on it... so if you see an issue with something let me know...
