Indeed. Looks great. I'm in for one.

Oops, sorry, all. Looks like a thread is already started over in Fermentation. My bad. https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f163/new-temperature-controller-brewbit-417306/

Cool, count me in for one with dual probes. I just signed up for my first Kickstarter project! ;)

I thought a few people might have interest in the Brewbit Model T, a Kickstarter-based automated controller. Looks like a neat little device that includes a touchscreen, wifi access, and logging. Looks like $175 gets you in line for the device with two probes...

Me too. Wayne has been great. I've had multiple great ordering experiences. He's always provided top-notch service, including replacing a mis-ordered part and a missing shipment. He's always been a 100% class act. I intend to go back again and again.

You won't get the update 60 for that price, but $135-150 shipped is possible. Nice kettles. Just got 3 myself.

This might help: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f51/cheyco-cfc-all-stainless-expensive-344466/ I understand that's a 3/8" tube he's using, but you should be able to scale up and use similar parts, no?

Damn you. I have a perfectly fine copper CFC. Now...I want again. ;) This may be my next project after the brew structure (in progress) and before the keezer (also in progress). Nice work, I think it looks great. (I think I need to stop hanging out in the DIY forum, I'm getting too...

Might also be fun to order some custom pint glasses for the wedding. Also serves as a little "keepsake" from the wedding. Save a set of four or six for the bride and groom.

Thanks, all. Good thoughts, and I think I'm good going with the left-to-right, as my control panel will be right (dominant hand too). Thanks for the input, all.

Interesting, it seems consensus here is to go right-to-left. Anyone know why most of the commerical systems (B3, Sabco, Synergy, etc.) set up left-to-right? The infamous Electric Brewery seems set up left-to-right, too. But, you guys are right, most homebrew systems and a few other places...

Hi all, I'm about to finalize layout of my single-tier brew structure and start drilling. Before I do, I'm looking for another piece of advice. Do most of you choose to move the beer left-to-right or right-to-left? In other words, do you have the HLT on the right and BK on the left, or...

I'm making my own variant of the B3 system, and I was wondering if anyone with the 15-gallon kettles could tell me the location of the ball valve center and thermo center (from the bottom of the kettle, ie. a flat surface)? I'd like to make sure I'm getting my fittings in the right place...

Heh. I was kinda hoping to avoid the "try it and see" approach. At least improve my odds against screwing anything up. :)

Thanks. My plan is to use a diptube with a compression fitting. I haven't yet set the ferrule, and I've typically seen them set with some space after the ferrule (1st image) But I could also set it like this at the end, I think (2nd image), thus making it so that it immediately disconnects...

I'm just getting all the parts in to my new single-tier brew structure with kettles, and I'm down to the last few decisions. One I'm stuck on is the placement of the dip tube in the mash tun. I'm hoping someone with a little more experience than me can help me out here. I have a 15-gallon...

Ha! I just found a thread on this place in the vendor forum. I came back to post. I'll definitely be ordering from there. Thanks! Just what I needed.

I have 1/2" fittings for everything, so if I drop to a 3/8, I'll have issue with flow (I believe) and it'll complicate my life with my quick disconnects. I'd prefer all stainless since I've invested in stainless everywhere else and I'd just feel more comfortable with it for sanitary purposes...

New York only has the raw material, but they don't have pre-made 1/2" chillers. I was hoping to cut out a little work and spend more time brewing. Plus, I didn't want to have to invest in the tools to bend it. ;)

Does anyone have a source for a 1/2" stainless chiller? I have looked everywhere and can't seem to find them. Midwest supposedly used to have them, but they haven't been on their site for some time, as best I can tell. Any help is much appreciated, I want to use one for my new HERMS build...
