Hi, I recently did a little write up on what we've found with chillers, you can find it here feed back welcome. Cheers Gavin.

Saw this pop up in my news, thought it look interesting.. A&E has ordered Mark Wahlberg's reality show pilotThe Big Brew Theory. The Boston-set project follows four MIT grad students and one MIT undergrad who team up to create their own micro-brewery. Wahlberg is set to executive-produce. The...

I know where he lives so its all good, I've "borrowed" some grain off him in the past :)

where's my call , you said you'd call.. you never called.. ^_^

I had looked around for labels, budget ran dry though will have to see what I can find later on. Although it does hurt when I look at it with those labels on it..

here is a finished cabinet from eBay with all controls installed (minus good labels)

I whrilpool with the element in still, If i didn't all my awesome wort would fall out the hole :) I don't find any problem with this. My kettle return is on the side of the BK pictured below

Oh, that looks like a happy brewrig.. even looks like it has rosy cheeks...

Personally I wouldn't use the bunnings options, I got the bottom tool box because I was going to make into a control panel.. once I started working with it I knew I was going to kill myself if I put electronics inside this and turned it on near any water. the first aid cabinet I'm not sure if...

Hi Mate you can check out some picture I took here http://www.brewrig.com.au/hot-liquor-tank-75lt -gav

I haven't noticed any issues with it now, It isn't a high flow outlet so it not forced out the holes it trickles out. my porter I made on it first time round is very very nice and hasn't had any issues yet..

I have a dedicated circuit into my brew room from the switch box with the RCD there. I then used the same wiring as the electric brewery for Australian and other 240v country's. I do not have any circuit breakers within my control box...

Hi All, just doing some research and found a little bit off the 'the electric brewery' site which talks about using hot water from older systems. Lifted from www.theelctricbrewery.com "Some brewers choose to use hot tap water to reduce the heating time required. We do not recommend doing this...

I like the idea of this though http://www.theelectricbrewery.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=27005&highlight=

I've had the same issue, Had a fresh keg on and thought.. hmm this tastes a little weird.. pulled down the taps and saw the same thing.. funny how your beer tastes alot better once you don't have a old hops and beer strainer.. -Gav

I use a spider coupler for my marger mill for years, even now using it with my new mill they work atreat.. -Gav

Save the head ache run a 32amp circuit. I've got one 20amp and two 10amps and its a head ache.. cost to get a 40amp now I $550.. do it probably first go..

one of my worst is a double batch (48lt) of lager (Pils malt) only did a 60min boil and ended up with DMS fuelled ass water... was tipped.. and yes I've left he tap open to. -gav

From what I've found with the Electric brewery probe placement... Trying to use your MLT temp to control your HLT (Herms) results in overshooting.. Since the grain bed lags behind the ramp speed temp of your HLT you WILL see over shooting. I guess you could tune your PID for slow ramp speed...

I was going to use a temp gauge in the front of the pot but it doesn't have the 'bling' factor , I had to go the PID route plus easier to see the temp and I'm all about making it easier for myself. If I didn't sell my other rig and have the budget my control panel would look a lot different I'd say.
