    Arduino + Blynk basics and code

    Just wanted to put this here in case anyone else is looking for a head start on a home coded arduino-based brewery with control through Blynk, with a basic parts list and some barebones intro code for PID-based temperature control. Also, general shoutout to @BrunDog (developer of the much...

    North Carolina Complete hybrid RIMS/HERMS/stovetop system

    Putting out a feeler for selling a complete brewing system (possibly in parts), built from scratch. The system is highlighted here and here. Built it a bit over a year ago, lots of great brew days with it, but now working on something a bit different. System is designed to be super flexible, so...

    Alternatives to BruControl for Arduino?

    I know this forum has a particular liking for BruControl. It seems great, but $100 is pretty far out of my price range for software. Any alternatives out there for arduino? General tools for basic UIs that others have used?

    Drilling through urn heating element plate?

    Got a question. I am considering modifying my Mash and Boil to make a bottom/center drain, using something like the bore-only weldless bulkhead here. I am ripping out all of the internal electronic controls for the elements here, but still using the same heating elements. Upon opening it up, I...

    Robobrew screen diameter?

    Question for the crowd: Anyone have a robobrew, and can do me a favor? I need to know the exact diameter of the gen 2/3 top and/or bottom screens. I would be forever in your debt. Edit: Specifically https://www.morebeer.com/products/replacement-malt-pipe-bottom-screen-35l-robobrew-gen-2-3.html...

    Sanitary CO2 capture?

    Question. I have a bit of an experiment with CO2 harvesting going on over here. Given that this appears to be working roughly as planned, I am now thinking about re-use, which brings me to sanitization and storage. The question is ultimately: do I even need to sanitize? The thought is that the...

    Can bugs survive in fermentation off-gas?

    Mylar balloon semi-closed loop primary to keg system

    I have a very silly idea. I generally transfer from primary to keg/secondary through filling a keg with sanitizer, pushing it out using CO2 in my CO2 tank, and using a closed loop transfer from fermentor to keg. That seems like a waste of CO2, not to mention it's kindof a pain to take my tank...

    A slightly different control panel build

    Built a control panel box for my hybrid RIMS/HERMS setup. Pretty happy with the way things turns out, and wanted to share a few things I learned along the way that I didn't see in other builds' DIY threads. This is a system which powers a single 1325W @120V RIMS tube, a chugger pump, and a 12v...

    ShooBrew 2.5 vessel hybrid RIMS/HERMS system

    Finally got the build to a functional state, so time to show off a bit. At its core, it's a HERMS system, with a few twists. 1) Instead of heating the HLT with a dedicated element, it's heated with a RIMS tube. 2) Instead of heat exchange through a dedicated exchanger, I use a standard immersion...

    Cooler MT w/ adjustable depth temp probe and electric auto sparge

    Pretty happy with the way my mash tun project turned out. I already had a mash tun built like the classic cheap and easy post, but I wanted to add a few things. 1) Temp probe. The usual solution is to drill a hole in the side and use a bulkhead type addition with an o-ring. However, I wanted to...
