+1 for the taps Norm sells - they're not too pricey and do the job well, also they're flow control taps and are sprung which is great : ) Here's his ebay page: http://shop.ebay.co.uk/normannumpa/m.ht ... ksid=p3686

Thanks : ) Here's a couple of things I'd do differently if I were to do it again: Buy all the parts before starting work on it - make sure all the fittings were correct. Instead of using tank connectors, I would have a good welding company weld fittings into the kegs. I would work with BSP...

The aluminium arrived today! Looks great I think : ) I had planned to just have shelves on the top two bits but they've given me the offcut from the sheet I got, and it's big enough to do the two bottom shelves too! :)

Hi all, I run a small brewing website called http://www.brewing-tips.com. I'm putting together a brewing magazine which will be viewable online - it will contain everything from recipes, tips, and How-Tos, to interviews with professional brewers, and brewery tours. Firstly we will be producing...

Fitted the casters the other day, which was a nice simple job. I was worried that only having 3 bolts in each would be a problem, but it's more than strong enough to hold the kegs full of water :) Today I ordered some aluminium tread plate for the top and shelf of the brewery - having it cut...

It Lives! Just need to get 2 28mm (PG21) cable glands to fit the bigger holes. The pump cable and PT100 temp probe cable will go through one of them, and the other is just a spare used to plug the hole :) H

Getting there! :)

Control panel is getting there :) Just got to work out how best to mount it! I might mount it in a way that it can have a clipboard bit on the top of it for brew day notes :D

Just got one of these on ebay for £15 The PID won't fit depth wise, but I'll either fix that by spacing it out with some sort of control panel fascia or I'll mount the PID in the side of the box. Not sure which way I'm going to do it yet, are there any companies who laser-etch control panels?

Haha I meant 10 :) Thanks MD I'll hopefully be brewing on it soon! So now that the brewery is functioning as it should, I can start work on getting it perfect. I will be replacing the kegs with some of those nordic stockpots from france, and hard plumbing everything in stainless, but that...

A thermostat wouldn't be able to hold the temperature stable, as they're not designed for that level of precision.

Great article :) I wish i had a garden to build a brew shed in!

Ok so it's been some time since the first batch was brewed, and I've had big problems with the pid controllers - today however I've finally sorted it all. The pid controller can now hold 0 gallons of water at 66*c for as long as I want, within 0.3 degrees! Time to clean it all and get ready for...

Just a quick 'sorry' regarding my earlier comment about the PT100 probes. I've since found that my PID was faulty and with a new PID the probe works fine. Did you end up using that probe? If so, which fittings did you use, 'cause I can't find any info on the thread size!

+1 on the Q-max cutter! I caused a right mess trying to drill my kegs with some bosch holesaws which cost a lot of money!

Hi everyone, I'm looking for a PT100 probe that will fit through my keggle wall, but I can't find one anywhere! Where can you buy them? :) Cheers, H

yep it's 13"/33cm.

Hi THBF! Checking in with some pics of the latest addition to my 10 gallon eHERMS, a budget false bottom for my mash tun. Items needed: Oxo 'Good Grips' Splatter screen with handle: http://www.amazon.com/Oxo-Splatter-Scre ... B0007VO0DU 3x small stainless steel bolts and nuts. a brass...

6 for me please! : )

Capitalisation is the difference between "I helped my uncle Jack off a horse" and "I helped my uncle jack off a horse". :D
