Very well said, Franx. These guys have helped me through a lot, including the Jolly Rancher IPA incident of 2011.

The Pub / A lot of good guys on here.
« on: September 25, 2016, 06:47:32 PM »
I won't mention names, but the person responsible is certainly free to chime in. There are a lot of good guys on this board. A couple years go, when I moved into my bachelor pad, one of you sent me a very nice care package. Prior to that some years ago, I was laid off work and some one from here had a sack of two row sent to my house and another hooked me up with a ton of hops.
Then, just last week another sent me a grain mill to use in my in the works brewery. I want to thank you all again. This place is like family.

Pimp My System / hard part is done

wiring and controls are done and it's made successful test run. Now I just need to make it look pretty with some diamond plate and tie up a few wires.

Progress..... the second PID wired, and the SSR test wired. I will be swapping out the mechanical relays this weekend. Also got a temp probe test wired to the 3 pun quick connect.
I have the third PID for the mash tun and the volt / amp meter on the way. I'm hoping to have them for the weekend.

I got it at a local wholesale house. I like to support the small wholesale stores when I can as opposed to the big box stores. But you can get the same one at Home Depot for the same price. It's a 20x20 outdoor junction box.

Equipment and Software / Re: Flow meter

Thanks, Turtle. I'll look into that. I would not mind to spend a few more for a proven product. And really, I don't need a flow meter to make good beer. I just think it's kinda cool.

Good points made. I do know you get what you pay for. I sell HVAC equipment and supplies, myself. It's one of those cases where I'll waste the $65. If it works, great if not no huget loss.

Got some fancy blinky lights today. Don't Minh the mess of holes in the cover. Still have to put a second PID in. As for the other holes, it will all be covered in diamond payee when I'm done, so I'm not worried about not having the placement right the first time. If I don't like, I just move it knowing it is going to be covered.

This reminded me of the time they would go to your place when you were not there to see their faces and pulled growlers to go. Not quite the same, eh? You'll have to train new friends there in Ohio.
I had completely forgotten about that! Not the same here in Ohio. People don't pull crap like that. Must be a western thing.

it's a great escape from every day stress and life. I love building all my own equipment, be it a stir plate, carboy cleaner or now a full electric brewery. And there's no better feeling than pulling a pint for your friends and seeing the look of shock on their faces wen you tell them you made it. it something cool to geek out on.

I just got the same thing. And I'm pretty sure it's not the uke.

This guy right here. It's actually made for large rooftop heating and cooling package units.
