Really nice work there! But to be killjoy, I realized that bigger is not faster. I built one 2-roller mill with 60 mm rollers and 150 in length. I have yet not found any drive wheels that fit, so only driven on one roll. I found the crushing is easier with smaller rollers. BUT! Larger...

OK Will do! Ill take some when I get to the brewhouse next time!

Long time, lots of modifications! These days I have a 52 gal system with a pressure fermenting tank. But I still use this small brewmachine frequently. Like small special brew batches. I now have a much bigger mash tun, that sits on top of the boiler kettle. I circulate the wort continously...

I built a beer cooler, that can fit 2 corny kegs. 4 peltiers, 130W each, that I water cooled. I have a large 4mm aluminum plate that covers the whole back inside of the thing as a heat sink. I can get frost on that plate. But its hard to get rid of the heat. Everything has to go 100% all the...

Well, yes its a hand job most of it. For now. This build is a 3 step process. First step is like put one bottle at a time for filling, then move it by hand for capping. Next step is a conveyor to move the bottles from sanitation to bottling, automated by the PLC. Last step will be capping...

Things changed today dramaticly. I got a 32 channel PLC for free at work. So PLC it is. Its very easy to program, just to find out how many pulses for a 33 cl bottle. Then the rest is done with relays that are commanded from the PLC. Need to find two presure meters for the counter pressure...

I was thinking of one of these. I already use one with a simple plc and a solenoid from ali...

Interesting! But exactly how do i stop the flow then, when it reaches the vent tube? Im building all equipment my self, so thats why I ask. I wanna replicate big breweries in small 50 gallon style. i must have a sensor in the vent tube of some sort. I have already built a prototype with...

good thoughts here. Im thinking about this...

Hi! Im leaving this post here as well. Maybe more people in this section are interested. Im building an automated bottling system. The only hold up is really the flow meter. Im gonna use a hall effect flow sensor, but I think im gonna control it with arduino board. Or maybe its better to go...

Hi! Im building an automated bottling system. The only hold up is really the flow meter. Im gonna use a hall effect flow sensor, but I think im gonna control it with arduino board. Or maybe its better to go with a PLC to control all valves and the flowmeter? I dont know if its possible to...

Yes mrmalty says 20 dry packs. And 50 vials. 13 vials in a 9 gal starter. I think its insane much yeast.

Hi. How do i overcome the insane ammount of yeast? 50 packs without starter and 13 with a 10 gal starter.... I only brew lagers and use 3 dry packs for a 10 gal batch, and that works just fine. Now i have a little bigger equipment, 55 gal, and want to use the mexican yeast. Do i need to...

Yea! I would do that! AND fan inside. I think when I installed the fan, thats when my temp began to drop! Im currently down 15°C below the room temp. Sometimes lower. It varies between 5°C and 7°C when the room is about 21°C to23°C. Im happy, but maybe the watercooling is overkill. We are gonna...

So now I can tell you all the secret! :ban::mug: Dont go all this way. Buy a refrigirator.
