It was pretty bad. I have used twice now with my power supply while I wait for SSBrewtech to send out a new one. Can say I’m not happy with it at all. I use a 3 vessel rims setup and I used to condition my grain and mill on an old malt muncher powered by a drill and I was able to run the recirc...
I checked the gaps on the mill and the rollers are straight throughout the range of adjustment. After reading others reviews I can say there is a quality control issue going on. Makes it more sad that these problems are out there. I doubt many people are buying this mill solely based on price so...
So after being a long time supporter of SS brew tech gear I have found something that not only disappoints but completely pisses me off. Firstly the components are neatly packaged. That is where the positives stop. After unboxing and screwing the hopper to the mill I rummage through the box to...
Thank you so much. This is really what I was looking for. I have decided that since I want real time data I might as well see how far the rabbit hole goes. I should be able to get my tinkering fix with this project. I think brucontrol is the best way to go since there is a ton of support out there.
I attached the fluid diagram for how I brew. My current setup uses 5X 1/2" Ball Valves and 2X Linear Throttle Valves. If I go to an automated setup it would require 10X 1/2" solenoid 3way valves, 2X 1/2" solenoid valves and 2X solenoid proportional valves. My concern is the number of valves in...
The other really difficult part of this is that I am currently stationed in Guam. Shipping things out here is sometimes impossible or ridiculously expensive and slow.
I am still trying to decide between PLC and something like Brucontrol. The whole reason for wanting to do this is because I want in process pH and density readings. To be honest I don’t know how far I’ll automate because I enjoy touching things like loading grain, flipping switches and swapping...
I am currently brewing on a 3V electric setup. I will post pictures of the current setup. I would like to transform it into an automated low oxygen brewery. I am thinking that I should be able to weld latches onto the tun and kettles so they can be purged with N2 and I will use a pre-boil for...
