Edmond, OK here by way of Ada. Howdy

Hey Russ, just checked out your website and will shop with you in the future. I just set up for myself a dedicated brewing RO setup with DI to get me to zero TDS. I wrote a thread about it called 0 TDS Water, Finally and now I have no drinking water in the house... which is why I will be talking...

Awesome, I love Inkbird!!!

Woohoo, I made it to the big time fellers! Lol, if you get a chance check out Nov '23 issue of BYO magazine page 59. It's this in magazine form.

You do not want to know... that's how painful it was... at least a dozen times in places!!!! Omg, so worth it, but it was hard work. I would definitely wire it differently.

I just saw you ask for wiring, I'm sorry I didn't read that part until now. I had drawings but threw them out after the project. I'll try to explain as best as I can for you. I split the circuits so that the heaviest drawing element got it's own, then everything else is on the other. Any...

Ohhhhh, I want this. My BBQ Guru is so gangly with the controller. This looks nice and tidy! I love me some Inkbird!

Amazon, air vent valve in the 1/2"mpt flavor. This project took time because I'm so meticulous and anal retentive. I'm so glad it is finally together and brewing. These air vents are awesome, but prepare for the little bit of drip when you are releasing. I keep a towel in hand and open it like...

"How many 5 gallon corny kegs do you normally dispensed with a 5 pound CO2 cylinder?” 20-30

I had one RO pre-filter crack on me under my sink and that was the last straw, I'm done with tanks and anything that isn't constant flow that you have to store... for my house. Lol, seriously though I am done with the constant nuisance of leaks under my sink, so I ripped out the old RO unit...

7 days in and I'm at a hydrometer testing of 1.016-1.017. Yesterday I ramped for my D-rest from 59F to 68F. It'll sit here for 3 days, then I'll check again. Hopefully it will be ready to crash cool by then. Looking very Newcastle-ish at the moment. Smells like sweet grain and caramel, I bet...

This Sunday started off my come back! I used my newly upgraded brewery to brew a British Brown Ale 13B. Lowest SRM I could get out of my grains, trying to taste/ highlight the candied/crystal oats I made. I can't wait to try it. Here's a link to the brew day of you're interested.

Ok, Sunday 3:30pm I pitched my yeast and closed up the keg. Added a little CO2 pressure and Monday 24hrs later... we have 10 psi pressure. I came out to check really this morning and was just about to get to my wanted [17 psi@59*F]. As I'm writing this, I've had to open up my spunding valve to...

It figured itself out at 25F. 22F is doable, but it takes forever, so I kept bumping up until it was at an easier temperature to reach without running for 10 minutes. The compressor comes on every eight minutes, and only if the AC sensor reads above 32F. I set it to 61F, so I could witness the...

Wondering how cold I should set the Inkbird that has its sensor on the AC unit grill. This Inkbird is plugged into the Inkbird that's sensor is inside the fermenter. I have that one set to 55F for my test. I am trying 15F on the AC Inkbird, but if anyone knows how cold you can run an AC without...

This morning I revisited my PID controller, and a couple of more test that would be more accurate of something I could/might use it for. This time, I used the HLT RIMS pump, RIMS element, HLT element and (pretending there was less than a 1/2 gallon of wort in the coil based on what it took from...

Ok, final temperature test. Remember, I'm just going to use this for maintaining temperature of boiling water infusions. But... if I wanted to step with what is in the MT, the numbers would be as follows: with both at 130F I turned the HLT up to 152F and then the MT. took 22 minutes to turn the...

TEST RUN!!!!! Ok, water in both the HLT and MT from the tap heated to 80F and we sat for 10 minutes. (I read on my PID and set it from PID to on/off, and also set it for 130F). Then, I turned on my HLT first to start the element and set it to 130F. I then turned the RIMS/ HERMS pump on so I...

No room for 2- 15.5 gallon Sankes in a 7.5 cuft freezer. I've been doing pressure ferments for quite a while and was a little ahead of my time writing an article on here way back when, Closed-system pressurized fermentation. You might have read it. I'm not worried about the psi difference since...
