Ive done a belgian strong ale with a starter made from a simgle vial of wl545. my fermentation was agressive fast and clean. the yeast seemed to give an active fermentation and then make a settle to the bottom in a pretty even layer. the beer was excellent . att 90%. To save this living worker...

Thanks to you all. My E HERMS projet has given off a sweet reward. My electric panel worked like a charm . Ive brewed a strong belgian ale first. My mash tun performed well with 13 pound of grain. I did a yeast starter with WLP545 in my stirrer flask . Oxygenate wort with o2 and got a crazy...

I am working on a stirrer to keep the temperature even in my HLT. Im planing on a e HERMS setup. My dual copper coil has an inside diameter of about 7 inch. So that gives me enought space to put in a water stirrer. ive use a geared DC motor from ebay. A 400 rpm one. . There was six little...

I was looking at all the tubing used for sight glass tubing on the internet and on HBT. I found that polycarbonate tubing was very popular. After a few research on the material. I found that there is some hydrolysis that occur a high temp with water. Giving off some byproduct that would be...

I'm planing on using a inline aeration setup that i already made. It consist of a pyrex tube ( dunlop 203 slide) between two stainless flange. On one side is a thermometer and a 6 mm stainless capilary tube with the air stone on the other side. I will be using pure oxygen. From what i read. You...

Anybody did use gasoila thread sealant on 1/2 inch stainless fitting? It claimes to be non toxic and to hold temp up to 600f. If its ok for brewing can it still leave a taste to liquid circulating in those fitting?

I was wondering what do you guys use to rise your HERMS coil from the bottom of you pot. I just finished my new dual coil and a small stand. Im not sure if its too high? Is the only downside to this is to have to keep a high level of water in your HLT? Thanks

I have a volt/amp meter to put in my brewing panel. The amp part is a torroid transformer coil. From what i read i need to let the live 240v wire from my inlet receptacle pass through it. My question is can i lengthen the wire of the transformer coil to position it far from the meter or should i...

I just finished my counter flow chiller to cool my wort. I took 1/2 ID copper tubing. About 25 feet. I decided to weld copper wire in spiral around it. i took some 12 gauge electrical wire and stripped the plastic around it. i then coiled it around the tube with a turn every 3 inches. i did a...

Does anybody has experience putting a 240v LED indicator for the element circuit that is controlled by an Auber DSPR-1. The way the digital power controller works in burst mode is by proportionally in % turning on and off by the number of cycles (Hz) per sec. So if i understand right, if i'm...

I would like to know if a SSR is being used (Loosing life expectancy) when a PID or DSPR is sending 12V pulses to it when the SSR is not controlling the 240v circuit (element off by a contactor)? Should i use a switch to isolate the 12V output of the PID from the Input of the SSR when the panel...

Can somebody put a light on my questioning. Im planning on a control panel that works only on 240 volts. im using a camco 5500w element. The power to this element is controlled by a auber SYL-2352 PID and a 40amp SSR. My concern is the following. will the rapid switching of the element will...

I was wondering if making a 50' 1/2" OD copper HERMS coil with camlock connection would be useful in any ways? i first bought 1/2 SS compression fittings to install my copper coil. Then is was thinking of using a 3/8 to 1/2 inch reducing fitting silver soldered to 1/2 to 1/2 NPT copper fitting...
