    Dual output RTD options

    Multiple Element RTDs are a thing where you have multiple measuring elements in the same probe that can be hooked up to different devices if you want to go that route. But in my opinion the cheaper option would just be to introduce a second probe running a DS18B20 so that whatever you have...

    First Time Keezer Build - What do you wish you knew/What lessons did you learn?

    Liquid nails and ratchet straps. My collar had a bit of warp to it and I held the collar down while the liquid nails was curing with ratchet straps. Once cured the collar stayed flat.

    Anvil Brewing Pump XP - first impressions?

    Duotight ball disconnects - experiences?

    Sorry for the double post. I did try that initially. However this fitting blew the tubing all the way out. I think i just fell into a bad range of tolerance stack between the eva barrier tubing and this particular fitting. Of the 5 disconnects I bought only one gave me grief. But it got clips on...

    Duotight ball disconnects - experiences?

    Had a gathering the next day an no one was going to ship me the clips in time. However my printer can rattle off about 15 of these in 15 mins.

    APEX San Diego...WTF?

    Pardon the late reply. It was my standard west coast IPA recipe. After the failed brew, I made the batch immediately again with a packet of S-05 and it worked flawlessly.

    Duotight ball disconnects - experiences?

    I think these disconnects are fine. My biggest gripe with them is that they don't come with retaining clips from the factory. I lost a 20# CO2 tank and dumped a whole keg of seltzer into my keezer (carbstone dip tube). Because the tube popped out of the connector. So here is a printable clip for...

    ICEMASTER MAX 2

    https://www.homebrewworks.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/STC-Instructions.pdf Your temp probe wires may be damaged and are reading an open circuit to the controller.

    Hops for pills

    I liked what Sasquatch and a touch of citra did for me. Fruity, floral, with a smidge of herbal. That keg went way too fast.

    APEX San Diego...WTF?

    It did not treat me well either. I used a satchet on a recipe where I normally use a single pack of s-05. Took forever to start and ended up as hot band aid water.

    LHBS Oops

    Are you interested in listing all the grain that went into it and amounts? Maybe we can riff off that?

    875 watts enough for RIMS heat?

    It really depends on how much insulation you have. I use an ssbrewtech mash tun with a custom silicone heater with an output of 500w. Because of the insulated mash tun I have no issue maintaining mash temp or raising temps.

    First Time Keezer Build - What do you wish you knew/What lessons did you learn?

    The 2 big things I learned were 1) Seal the heck out of the thing. My initial build had really bad condensation issues and my second build has none. After you attach your collar, use HVAC tape to cover up everything from where the lid meets the collar to the transition from the collar to the...

    RO Water - starting with lower pH

    I truly understand your crusade on the listed temperature as this is something I stumbled over in another thread. I am working off the following byo article which lists both target pH at mash and room temp. Using the pH values I listed at mash temp has lead me to good efficiencies so take my...

    SS Brewtech 1BBL Unitank - BEWARE!!

    Higher delta pressure = greater volumetric flow. I use an 800gph pump to push sanitizer through my cfc. By the time it goes through everything the pressure drop reduces it to ~1gpm vs the rated ~13. This is why on larger industrial chillers you'll even see rotary vane pumps for increased...

    SYL 2352 PID operating instructions...help please

    You are really nice for this. I figured most of these things are sold As-is.

    SS Brewtech 1BBL Unitank - BEWARE!!

    Is that flow rate straight off the pump or through the circuit? Most of these aquarium style pumps have very low pressure capabilities and they slow down hard with tubing and the coil. If you can measure the flow through the circuit, and more importantly the temperature of the liquid coming...

    SYL 2352 PID operating instructions...help please

    Agreed. After I first built my panel I couldn't get the element to fire the first time around and I was not getting power on the load side of my contactor despite hearing a click. I cycled the contactor a couple times and then it was working fine. Because it was touchy I confirmed that there...
