Not sure if this is the best place for this so let me know if there is a better area. I want to put up a digital tap board. I use a Raspi 2 for my brewpi setup and my keezer is right near my chamber, so of course, why not use the pi for that too? I also have a cellar fridge for bottles...

So...,. Building a BrewPi fermentation chamber from an upright fridge, pics below. I removed the thermostat that was connected to the dial in the fridge and wired in a SSR. I also hooked up a heating pad to an SSR. Ran the wires out to the Brew Pi Spark, configured a RasPi 2, and was able to...

I got into a converstaion via HBT tonight with someone looking to set up a similiar system so thought I would through together a quick build thread. These have helped me so much between brewhouses and fermentation chambers that I hope this helps someone as well. I have a 3 Vessel HERMs...

Hi All, I am about to start a build on a new ferm chamber. My current one uses a basic stc 1000 control which I built. I set the ambient but really have no way to monitor beer temp except the sticky thermometer on the carboys, which is inconvenient to say the least. So to satisfy my inner beer...

So I had a problem with my ferm chamber. There was a power outage and my STC setting for deviation from the set point moved to 2 degress C. That caused my wort to drop to about 59F. The chamber is out my friends house where we brew and he called me yesterday to let me know that he just...

I am not an electrician, but I know enough to be dangerous. Have built a control panel with a basic Stc-1000 for my fermentation chamber and the box was $12 at Lowes. I am building a Control panel with a PhD from auberins and a 240/40 SSR with a heat sink. . Boxes that will fit the PhD are...

Has anyone used the weldless element enclusure from brewhardware.com? https://www.brewhardware.com/product_p/ewl3.htm For the $26 it seems like a nice solution and much more reasonable than the $100 plus that I see for other element enclosures. I appreciate any comments, reviews or...

Good morning all - I have been reading the threads on temp probe positioning in both fermentation chambers and keezers. In my keezer I currently just have my temp probe (Ranco) hanging in air. I had originally thought that I would put it in a thermowell and put that in a small jug of water...

So it appears that aside from California Lager 2112 a 60 degree fermentation temperature is a bit warm for lagers and a bit cold for ales..... So what should I brew this weekend? I am thinking about the Black Bird Baltic Porter on the Maltose Falcons website, but would be open to other...

First let me take this opportunity on my first post to thank everyone for the wonderful information you give here. It has helped immensely as I have gotten into brewing over the past year. Now for my question. I brew 10 gal AG batches in a pretty standard 3 sanke setup. I run a chugger...
