Happy to train. I'm willing to offer considerable discount. My car collection is growing and space is at a premium in my garage.

End of year bump for anyone looking for a Christmas present to themselves. If interested, reach out. I'm willing to be flexible on price if going to a good home.

Yes

Hi All, Been almost a year since my last bump. My consumption of alcohol is down to almost nil these days. Hate seeing this project just idle away in my garage. If anyone has serious interest, LMK

Bump.

It was a labor of love, but I've not brewed in 2 years thanks to an abundance of great local beer and being more fitness and health conscious. I have better use for the space and it seems a shame to let something of this magnitude go unused. Asking $8,000. This includes everything that is...

It's been so long I had almost forgotten about this. It's actually seen far less action than I had originally planned. Too little time and too much good local beer. This coupled with a serious focus on health and fitness it's hard to justify the time, cost, and effort for a 5 gallon batch...

Thanks @SmokeyRydr . It's still standing, or hanging as it were... Unfortunately, I don't have any plans for the hangers. I sketched it all out with one of my machinists and fabricators.

Thanks for the responses, gents. Yes, already am thinking multiple flow meters will be required on three different flow lines. I'm also trying to wrap my head around how we set and control flow rates to each line and flow range. The closed loop will be run by a variable speed pump and...

Hello HBT members. Long time since I've posted to HBT and I hope you are all doing well during the COVID-19 crisis. I am looking for help designing a closed loop, fluid control test bench to pre-calibrate flow meters for a customer. There are three different meters and supply hose diameters...

Getting back to grain crush: to help facilitate a finer crush while maintaining the integrity of the husk I recommend wetting your grains with 2% of the total grain weight with water just prior to milling. I have temp sensors in both my MLT (about 1/3 way up from bottom) and on my HERMs coil...

Oops. I just saw my typo. I calibrate first with 7.0 solution then the 4.0 per the instructions. I rinse with distilled water between calibrations and dry the probe per instructions.

I pull sample from sample valve (return side of pump) and either stick in the freezer next to my rig for a few minutes or rinse outside of sample jar with cold water. Small sample cools quickly. I did not make any adjustments during the mash since I hadn't ruled out the pH meter being faulty...

I calibrate the night before per calibration procedures. New probe and previous always calibrated. Then store in storage solution until next day.

As in 5.09 versus what I was targeting at 5.4 My previous meter did not have ATC so had to measure at 70*-ish. New meter is has range up to 122*. My two most recent mash pH readings were 5.01 and 5.09. So low.
