I just did a Google search: That seems to be pretty important to many homebrewers. Nobody agrees what's "right," and about all the Internet can do is help you pass the time in between trips to stare at the airlock. Wouldn't it be great if someone made something to tell you when your airlock...

Hey Guys, I have all the parts for my DIY control panel coming in and was going to start modeling up my enclosure. Does anyone have any CAD drawings of panels that you have made? I know a lot of people buy the enclosures from Home Depot and drill out the cutouts, but I am planning on 3D...

I am thinking of making the switch to electric brewing and building my own brew controller based on this guy's build here: https://skrilnetz.net/how-to-build-a-brewing-control-panel-herms-240v-30-amp/ I have all of the components in my cart ready to buy and have started thinking of how I am...

https://homebrewingdiy.beer/index.php/2019/10/03/episode-6-the-tea-urn-brewery-with-steve-and-russ-cooksey/ One of the things that has always blown my mind about homebrewing is just the creativity homebrewers use to make beer. Whether it is out of necessity or frugalness, where there is a will...

Hey guys. I am looking to hear from some people with experience in using trunk line with a DYI or store bought unit glycol cooler. OR, if you know how to figure the math on a unit for DIY. So I have a "portable" AC unit that I took apart. It is rated for 9000BTU, but my understanding is these...

The iSpindel is an amazing DIY floating hydrometer and right now it is easier than ever to make your own. With a small list of parts, some light soldering, and a little elbow grease you could build your own device that can tell you your gravity in near realtime. Dave talked about the history of...

Hi everyone, I'm leaning towards picking up an Insignia 9.9cu ft fridge to convert for a kegerator. I am pretty sure I'll be able to gete 4 kegs in there. I'd like to keep the CO2 on the outside. Does anyone have experience drilling through the side of this one? I can't find a schematic of the...

Hi HBT, I just dropped my second episode of Homebrewing DIY and we talk about fermentrack. You can listen here: https://homebrewingdiy.beer/index.php/2019/09/05/fermentrack-with-aaron-bandler/ We are now on Google Podcasts, Breaker, Pocket Casts, and Radio Republic.

Here's my first pump-box build: Li'll Red! I was inspired by so many here. Thanks for everyone's other build posts and ideas. Now I just need to clean the outside (the damn sticker goo) and add some paint details (switch labels, pump descriptions, etc.) Features: Portable/self-contained GFI...

PBW (and Starsan) are no longer available in the EU. This situation may be resolved by the importer but existing stocks are running very low at the usual online stockists. I am personally getting close to the bottom of my tub of PBW and may have to mix my own from ingredients I can get on ebay...

My first keg set-up had two taps so I made a pair of tap handles (shameless plug) that features beers from The Simpsons and Family Guy. Since my latest bar build (another shameless plug) I gained a tap. So I took this opportunity to make a third tap handle from another one of my favorite...

I just put together a basic keg liquid to keg liquid inline water filter that many homebrewers use, and I'm wondering about infusions: Can I throw some hops or mint or oak or whatever into the filter housing (outside the filter) so it infuses right before/at the same time as it filters? Anyone...

Since I'm going to be releasing a new version of the firmware here imminently, I wanted to poll everyone on how often they seem to be getting the screen scrambles. Our own resident EE @day_trippr seems to have ruled out pretty much everything but shag carpeting and sunspots. It's apparently...

So I am redoing the bar top in the beer shed and would like include a tower setup with one line for purging bottles / cans and the other for filling. Has anyone done this or know of existing setups that could be purchased? Thanks!

SO I currently have a shed that has been cleaned out and houses my keezer but I'm looking to turn it up a notch and see if I can turn it into a space I can actually brew in. It has electricity and the brewing vessel would be my RoboBrew. Currently in the shed, the walls are unfinished and the...

I'm making a trash can kegerator for a family reunion. (Something like this: My wife isn't a fan of the iron pipe/industrial look, and I'm looking for something more original than the standard stainless steel tower from the LHBS. I'm open to any ideas y'all might have. Something DIY is more...

After a year of brewing in a garage, where we shared the space with motorbikes, bikes, lawnmower, flowers and even garbage bags, we decided to build a dedicated brewery. We got the OK to remodel a bairbone storage room. The goal of this room was to make a small brewery fitted to our needs as a...

I started an electronic mead brewing setup, I hope you all like it or can adapt it to what you need. I think it will be amazing and keep the quality up on the mead because you won't have to draw a sample from the carboy in order to read the SG, Just use tilt! Hardware Raspberry Pi B3+ RpI 7"...

Up until now I've been doing small 1 gal batches in carboys with stopper and blow off tube. I want to make a batch of my IPA to be ready in time for superbowl so I gotta get cracking. All I have on hand is a standard 5 gal Home Depot bucket + lid so I was going to DIY a stopper/blowoff in it...

hi everyone I am nearing the end of my keezer build and thought I would post it up here as I took influence from several of the excellent builds I saw on this forum. Hope you enjoy the videos and please sub my youtube channel if you want to see more! Cheers Richard
