    Kegerator taps: shanks

    Hi. I'm gradually accumulating parts for a two tap kegerator build. As part of that I picked up a couple of flow control taps second hand (but unused). They are like these: http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/710-53481-19255-0/1?icep_ff3=2&toolid=10001&campid=5338413729&icep_item=282558447582 A...

    Automated BIAB brewery DIY from Instructables

    The app can be used that way, but I don't. So far I'm happy with the insulation for my mash. It would be straightforward to insert control of another relay, though, to control a pump (though I would probably look at brewmaniacex to control it). I don't use a false bottom, just hop bags, or...

    Automated BIAB brewery DIY from Instructables

    I got a 60L bucket, and, though I'm still refining, it's about 34L of water to hit a 23L target. The app isn't generally used to set the parameters of the brew: though he included some code to enable that it's marked as experimental. I just use the app to track it when out of the room (as the...

    Automated BIAB brewery DIY from Instructables

    I was doing kits and stove-top 5 litre biab before. It's so much easier, though I'm learning how to get the best out of it. For example, the code that's included in the instructable monitors the temperature of the mash, and will turn on a heater if it drops below the target. The problem is...

    Automated BIAB brewery DIY from Instructables

    Hi. Yes, I've done it, but used a wemos D1 instead of the Arduino and wemos. I used a twin base, oled shield, button shield, and a development shield to solder in the connection to the ds18b20 and the twin relays. So it's then a tiny computer velcro'd to the front of a project box with the two...

    Electric boiler: bypass kettle boil dry cutout

    I think if they're taken from a kettle they do have a cutout. Have a look at this video: I got mine from aliexpress, but they're on ebay as well...

    Electric boiler: bypass kettle boil dry cutout

    Ah, then my use of terminology is off. How do I stop them from cutting out? The 'prevent dry burn', as it puts it in the item description. (I've edited the title and first post to remove reference to thermostats.)

    Electric boiler: bypass kettle boil dry cutout

    I've built a plastic BIAB boiler using two 1500w kettle elements like this: https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/q5cptKs Unfortunately I am not sure how to bypass whatever it is in the elements that make them cut out once boiling. So, at the moment it will reach but not sustain a boil. Does...

    Automated BIAB brewery DIY from Instructables

    Hi. I was wondering if anyone had attempted to follow the guide to constructing an automated BIAB setup from this link: https://www.instructables.com/id/Fully-Automated-All-Grain-Electric-Beer-Brewery-fo/ The search function showed a couple of members had started the project, but I couldn't...

    Hello from Dunfermline

    Hi. I've lurked for a while, and have made a few kits. I've got a fridge with inkbird for fermentation, and I think it's safe to say I've got the bug. My office is gradually getting taken over with brewing kit! I'm starting to regret getting the garage converted... So far I've done...
