    BrewKeg 50

    The dimensions are on the website, heaps of details. More akin to a conical than a keg, heavy gauge and looks good value to me. The video is impressive and designed for ambient temp control, hence no thermowell I guess, if you want a thermowell, buy a hole and stick it in. With all the rants...

    Hi Davide My email address is [email protected] if you want to send me the file, it won't take much to change. It is currently designed for the #3 ArdBir PCB. If you want to send the Nano as well, I'll do them both for you. Any changes you would like let me know. I did my first brew with it...

    Fillipo Your pid settings look rock solid, fantastic job! Are you familiar with sketchup? I just use the free version, if the mounting holes for the pub are different you just need to move 4 mounting posts for the shield. There are only about, 4 boards out there at present I believe, if anyone...

    Here are snapshots of my design/build, I will upload the stls and cad files to Thingiverse over the weekend. I will also publish the components I used so you can buy the same components if you can't alter the cad files. I designed the case around the components...

    My pid setting at the moment are: Kp 100 Ki 50 Kd 50 Sample time 1500 WindowsSet 3000 Overshoots by .75 then settles back to .25 under then real stable in 3 mins. I would like CheeryPhilips settings as he seems to have mastered it for the GF, which would be better I am sure. real_beer -I thought...

    hi Guys Thanks for your feedback, I created it in Sketchup. I can also share the stl files but with so many different pc boards better to have the cad files, so you can modify them yourself. if we got some standard on the board for those without 3d printers, they could just use a print...

    Thanks God, you're the expert you turned water into wine a few years ago too, I read ;). Yes planning a brew this weekend a coconut stout which is my favorite. A couple of question while brewing the water. In the manual mode the pump stops working at 80 degrees. For the Grainfather I run the...

    We'll I just finished my Grainfather controller, thanks to everyone who contributed towards the final result, thanks to all the detail online, fired up first time. I had the PCBs printed in China and ordered all my components off Aliexpress. It works superbly with water, the pid settings needed...

    That looks really cool arzaman, I've been working on a similar project, just 3d printing the top of my case for it now(still just prototype). What did you do with your SSRs, not worry about a heatsink? Only 2kw 10amp I suppose, do they heat up? I don't have any experience with SSRs, was going to...

    Another thing I did was to change the buttons, so down is on the left and up is on the right, more standard convention for me, as I automatically seem to turn down from the left, does anyone else naturally press the wrong button, or just Kiwi's and Aussies on the bottom of the planet, our water...

    Awesome work! Such a collaboration. I got my PCB assembled and running off the bat, so thanks for such great detail and clear instructions. I'm building mine to go on a Grainfather too encoh, so may want to pick your brains later;). I did find the pid setup confusing but noticed the english...
