I got crazy and found a Panelview Plus for my HMI. Junk that was going to get thrown out because of a scratch.

So here is what I have setup so far. I have one keggle setup (Boil Kettle) Electric Panel is a Allen Bradley PLC 5/05 One 24V Output Card Output for Pump HLT Output for Pump Wort Output for HLT SSR Output for Boil Kettle SSR Output for Valve to control Sparge Output for Alarm when...

Thanks for the suggestions on the auto sparge if I get there. I already have an automated Valve I am going to use to control the Sparge. If my idea fails I am sure to follow your idea as that is pretty simple. I am hoping to post a picture of my panel and a list of components so that...

I use RSLogix 500, I am just learning how to do the ladder logic with this project as my training piece. There is PID logic in the PLC for controlling temperature which I am using. I just never put in my head that the sparge takes long enough that I need to use a PID. I will add a PID loop...

So I need to maintain the temperature of the HLT. Never gave that much thought but I guess that makes sense as the sparge process does not a few minutes but a while. Why is it that you put the automatic ball valve on the infeed into the brew kettle. I was thinking partially opening a...

Hello everyone only posted a few times but looking to go big so I need some help. I have been brewing for a few years extract. I have recently come across a few things to make an automated brewery and wanted to get some help in trying to write a program for it. I have broken the program...

So I just got family back in from vacation in Mexico and they are raving about a Mexican Beer called Cerveza Barrilitos(Pale Lager is the best I can figure). These short stubby beer bottles. Granted once I saw the bottle I wanted to get ahold of a bunch because its such a cool beer bottle to...

The temp sensor in the fridge will stop cooling before the ranco turns it off. That's if the lowest the unit will go is 33. You need to look at the wiring schematics for your particular unit. It depends on how it was wired. Most units are not to difficult to figure out since they have a...

I am new to this and just made my immersion chiller I used the vinyl tubing sold at the store this isn't going to touch the wort anyways. The one twist I did is at an adapter so I can hook it up to my faucet so I don't have to run garden hoses or anything. I am a little worried about the temp...

Here is a picture of what I meant. Again I am just starting this so a bunch of the equipment is not hangin but you get the picture.

I like Midwest because they actually have an app for the iPhone so you can browse through their catalog from the phone.

I have started to put up peg board and trying to have a spot on the peg board for each tool for brewing but I want to protect my tools. So right now I am in the middle of trying to find containers such as the tube the hydrometer comes into protect and keep each item clean. Thinking of PVC...
