Congrats on the publicity. Glad to hear you are up and brewing finally.

Are you kidding - that is incredible! Congrats to you!!

 

[kickflip_mj]

Thank you guys! I'm pretty excited, hopefully the article is going to come out good. The questions they asked were a little more tech focused and not as beer friendly. Also its hard to describe this size brew process over the phone to someone.

I completely avoided work for about 3 hours to read this entire thread. Its incredible.

You went through all 64 pages?? I feel honored. Thank you for the support. Like you I find myself lost in HBT during work hours.

 

[honestbenson]

I mean, I didn't want to pick this build up in the middle of it! Had to start from the beginning and I am sure glad I did!

 

[kickflip_mj]

I still cant believe I actually did all that work to begin with.lol

I have another build thread going on, nothing large but a few weeks of fun.

You are good about posting your builds...I kept promising I would post up my tippy dump copper pearl painted stand to show you and I never got around to it . Its been working great though, just threw 55lbs of grain at it last Sunday (probably won't do that again).

 

[kickflip_mj]

I want to see that stand! the control panel was nuts!

That's awesome - any chance you will let us know which magazine?

 

[kickflip_mj]

Of course.. Its called "Embedded Developer Magazine"

 

[Bensiff]

Of course.. Its called "Embedded Developer Magazine"

Not familiar. Let us know when it's available, hopefully it's online .

Truly impressive that the article is in a non home brewing magazine!
Will it be available here when it is out? http://www.eeweb.com/magazine/eeweb-embedded-developer-magazine

 

[kickflip_mj]

Long story short, I work with EEWeb and one of there managers used to own a brewery in chicago, they found out what I was doing and decided that I would be in their next issue. Funny thing is some of the top searches for engineers is "beer".

 

[maierhof]

Truly a great build - thank you for all of the porn/ideas/late night reading!
What is impressive is that you some how got it into an article... nice work indeed.
Congrats!

Excellent thread. I read the entire thing last night and actually dreamed about fittings! Good info. Great build. I'd love to eventually pursue such a project, but right now this is waaaaay overkill in comparison to my brewing knowledge. For now I'll just keep reading and brewing.

What a journey, hope your health issues have improved, didn't catch the outcome of all that. Love all 66 pages of this stuff. Link us a video of your brew day if you feel like channeling your inner film maker.

 

[rekoob]

Hope all is well, looking forward to seeing more of the build and the final layout.

 

[kickflip_mj]

Thank you guys for reading my build and being concerning of my health. I am actually better and have got passed my back injury. I didnt have to have spinal surgery and I am wakeboarding daily again. Life is good.

The brewery looks amazing (polished it for a shoot) but now I am working on my reverse osmoses build so that I can have decent water. Sadly I havnt brewed in 2 months after I dumped 45 gallons because the water is so bad.

 

[kickflip_mj]

And this happened, my article I didnt write it

[Bensiff]

Sweet. I'll read it tomorrow.

 

[kickflip_mj]

Thanks bensiff, it's like a 2 page read. Nothing crazy

+1 to that!

Kickflip: epic and I mean *EPIC* setup. it's rather inspirational. I'm at the "thinking it out" stage for my build and have a couple questions.

1 - how did you use that freescale pressure sensor? The article mentions they're mounted on the pumps?
2 - how do you deal with liquid loss due to your piping?
3 - how does your CIP cycle work?

Cheers!
