    PID Enclosure

    Thanks for the suggestions guys, put me in the right ballpark. I went with this in the end - http://www.screwfix.com/p/ip55-enclosure-grey-180-x-110-x-100mm/96153 Which I can recommend, good quality.

    Biermuncher's Centennial Blonde

    Looks like mine has finished, just took a gravity reading at 1.008. Tasted fairly average at this point, can't expect too much of it, uncarbed and warm after 3 days.

    ITC-100VH Setup

    All good after changing the Ctrl value. Thanks. One last question, what does the 'run' LED mean? I see it is something to do with manual mode, but what is this? If I have the 'run' setting set to 'no manual' is it then irrelevant if the LED is on or not?

    Biermuncher's Centennial Blonde

    Yes, I had some on-hand. I only re-hyrdrated on brew day and it was very active even then, like it was trying to climb out of the glass. Massive krausen the next morning after pitching which has now mostly gone, so I suspect it has nearly finished.

    Biermuncher's Centennial Blonde

    I brewed this same beer the day after you, very much looking forward to trying it.

    ITC-100VH Setup

    I thought it might be this. I read it online this morning in a PDF online which seems to an updated manual, it is much more in depth than what came with the unit itself. I will try later and confirm. Thanks.

    ITC-100VH Setup

    I want to use the device as intended, as a PID. From what I have read in the instructions and online, when you connect device to new equipment you should first set the device to an 'automatic tuning' mode so that it can determine how your equipment behaves and set the P I and D values based on...

    Sous Vide. (threads merged)

    Another +1 for Sous Vide. For anything that takes less than a couple of hours you can use any vessel that is water tight and retains heat well, which anyone not doing kits already has, your mash tun. I did a couple of supermarket rib-eye steaks in my Igloo Ice Cube, even hooked the...

    ITC-100VH Setup

    The 'run' mode is set to 'No Manual' which exhibits as above, if I set it to 'Automatic', pressing the '<' button for more than 2 seconds still does nothing but pressing it for less than 2 seconds toggles the 'run' LED.

    ITC-100VH Setup

    I have wired up at ITC-100VH today and I can't get it into auto-tune mode. The instructions and videos I have seen just say press the '<' button more more than 2 seconds and it should display 'At'. The mode I am in, if I press said button it does nothing. If I press 'SET' it toggles the 'SV'...

    PID Enclosure

    I am planning on buying a ITC-100VH tomorrow and I am struggling to know what would be a good enclosure or project box for it. Need one that will fit a SSR, heatsink, the PID and maybe a single socket mounted on the top. Anyone got any suggestions or pictures of what you have done with the...

    Easy Drinking Recipe

    I am looking to brew something this weekend that is fairly easy drinking. Last beer I did was a clone of Brewdog's 5AM Saint and I was planning a porter next, but I think just having those two in the fridge might be a bit heavy going, so I am going to delay the porter until next time. Two...

    Best bench capper (from Amazon)

    I have the 2nd one, only done about 50 bottles with it but it is good so far, caps them easily and height adjustment is simple.

    Suitable large container for FVs?

    Might be missing the point, but not sure how this matters? This isn't for use as a mash tun, just for a FV to sit in a few inches of water.

    Suitable large container for FVs?

    Might be a bit excessive in size and overly complicated in construction, which you pay more for. I went for something like this - http://www.wilko.com/plastic-storage/wilko-storage-box-with-lid-clear-45l/invt/0285602 although if it is the same one it was £4 when I bought it. Which looks...

    Some free Inkbird as compensation!

    Can I please enter for either the ITC-106 or ITC-100 PIDs. Thanks!

    Yeast Attenuation?

    OK, so I finally got round to testing both hydrometers in 20c water and it seems neither is accurate? I have added the complication that I broke the new hydrometer I used previously (that gave the measurement of 1.012) before testing it in water and haven't tested this new one in the...

    Yeast Attenuation?

    Will try and do that tonight.

    Yeast Attenuation?

    Where are you seeing this? The copy of DIY Dog that I was following I only downloaded for the first time a month or so ago, I just re-downloaded DIY Dog from this page - https://www.brewdog.com/diydog and it still says 62c. The filename downloaded is "DIY DOG 101.pdf". I was actually coming...

    Ball valve tap leak

    Mine has generally leaked from the threads, I was actually surprised how easy it was to get a seal between the tap and the plastic wall (although I didn't buy a full tap kit, just the component parts and a pack of these). I would try more PTFE tape on the threads and tighten as much as possible.
