Hi wanger99, just wanted to see how this turned out. I am about to brew a smoked wheat IPA and trying to decide on % of smoked wheat.

Thanks LD, I think I will keep it simple for now then and go with the HLT probe and 1 PID/SSR relay. I can always add another one down the road if I want to. :)

Thanks crane, I did consider that approach as well but wasn't sure how quickly the HLT water would cool to where it needed to be with a still hot/warm element inside it, and wondered if it might cause for a higher mash in some cases. Also, with this setup, do you heat your HLT element for...

Lots of views but no love yet. Can anyone help me out? Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone, I'm working on an electric brewery build out and plan to largely base it off of a design that my good friend bigljd created several years back (https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f170/my-two-5500-watt-element-1-pid-ssr-build-281085/). The main difference is that in addition to...

Thank you everyone. This is all great feedback. The heating pad idea sounds like the safest bet. @Conesus_Kid - I have the 150w version of that same ceramic heater. The 40w version may be safer as it wouldn't get as hot but its hard to say online. I was hoping someone on here might have had...

Hi everyone, I've been working on a fermentation box which both heats and cools. I have it mostly built now, and have a dual stage temp controller hooked up to regulate the heat and cooling sources. The cooling source is a window-mount A/C unit, the heat source I'd like to use is a reptile...

Thanks for the tip loudawgucr! @MuchoGusto - I have tried three times to reply to your PM but its not going through. Very odd. I will keep trying.

@MuchoGusto - thank you! I do have a few questions just to make sure I am doing it correctly and purchasing what I need for the project. I will PM you.

@MrManifesto - the a419 is nice, but its not dual stage. It does either heat or cool, not both. That's why I bought the one I got. I found a good wiring guide in a recent BYO last night. I think I've figured out what I need to do. Looks fairly straightforward. @Sacdan - thank you, that's...

Hi everyone, I just bought a Control Products TC-9102D-HV Dual Stage High Voltage Digital Temperature Controller today from Amazon. I'm very excited to use it on the Fermentation Chamber I've been designing for both cooling and heating. The trick is, its an unwired unit and I know very...

Thanks samc. Better accessibility - online application available from any device with a browser, including mobile. Create on one device, modify and access on others. Improved Interface - cutting the fat, functionality-wise of what's in existing brewing software. There are a lot of functions...

This is all great feedback. Keep it coming!

I've been using Beersmith for a while and overall like it. It has its quirks but all of the other home brewing software I've tried does too. I've tried Promash, Beer Alchemy, BeerTools and a few iPhone-based apps. I've also played around with hopville and a few other online recipe tools but...

I was not aware that beertools had an online version. I thought it was the install-based software only. I'll check that out, as well as brew builder. Thanks! I've seen a few sites online that are decent attempts at recipe creation tools but most seem rather clunky interface-wise, and the...

Hey everyone, Hopefully this is the best place to post this. I've been using Beersmith 2 for a while now to create recipes, conversions, keep notes, etc... and really love it. However, I'd really like to be able to access and add notes to my recipes when not at the computer and on brew day...
