Hi, So I'm thinking about building a new setup and started by comparing the equipment and process using different scenarios. I currently use a 3V HERMS. It works fine, but I would like to 1-improve ease in cleaning, 2-simplify process by reducing hose changes and 3-not spend too much money...

Hi, Here is a picture of my setup at knockout. https://www.homebrewtalk.com/threads/basement-brewery-and-bar.687564/#post-9022356 https://www.homebrewtalk.com/attachments/1d6e7095-88c3-4a65-8a1c-3b8a43c9bf0f-jpeg.709524/ I usually gravity feed through my filter and plate HX into the...

I don't know where my head was, but I started a liquid pack of sandy-eggo super yeast with way too much sugar. I made my starter 0.5 liter with 150 g DME. This is about 26P or 1.113 SG :eek:. It did show some good activity as a starter, but now 24 hours after I pitched into 14P wort, no...

Hello, About 1.5 years after moving to a new (to us) house, I finally have the basement brewery running. It took a few runs to get a handle on the motions, but it works well. I did spend a year scoping the electric brewery‘a gallery and others for inspiration. The bar is between the brewery and...

Hi, Just wondering if anyone is using a soft start/stop on their motors? I'm mostly concerned about the ac compressor motors on my keezer and my cornelius chiller which are both simply switched by a stc 1000. In the case of my chiller, the stc is hard wired and I've bypassed the...

Hello, I'm in Europe with 240 V mains. I'm not certain, but I think it is correct to call the blue wire "load", the brown wire "neutral", and the green/yellow wire "protective earth". For each heating element I'm using an illuminated DPST illuminated rocker switch combined with a SSR. I...

Hello, I figured I would try to contribute a little by adding this build documentary. Maybe it will help give someone some ideas, and hopefully it will give me some feedback on these ideas. After a while of using different systems and thinking about what could be better I decided to use some of...

Hi, Has anyone attended this course? I'm thinking about going this fall and wanted to hear some feedback. Cheers,

Hello, I'm just wondering if the control theory behind this setup would work or not. Please see attached pdf. Assumptions: both controllers are given the same setpoint. The water reservoir is a Cornelius CR50 chiller with submerged heater and submerged circulation pump. Another...

This may be a stupid question, but why are we wiring recepticles (sockets and plugs) in our control boxes and on the power leads of these loads? Would a cable gland not suffice? Specifically for fixed installations? Cheers

Hello folks, I'm using the 50L Braumeister and I like the automation, but I'm not so thrilled about the single vessel drawbacks (not able to Vorlauf, water volumes and their impact on sparging, and sparging in genaral). I'm brainstorming ways to modify my BM to become a pure MLT in...

Hello, I've been generally a bid dissatisfied with the outcome of some of my beer flavors lately particularly as they age. I've been homebrewing for 13 years now and since the last 5 years I've been using different all-grain setups. My equipment has gotten nicer, but the beers perhaps...

Hi everyone, Don't know why I didn't register here years ago, since I've always found tons of info from you folks here. I guess I finally got around to it. I'm an American expat living in Switzerland and brewing as much bier as I possibly/legally can. Cheers
