Hi Lael, Have the controller built and fitted under the old laundry copper i'll be using as the outer / boiler. In order to progress the build i am at the point of needing to do the plumbing, but need an inner pot / malt pipe. Just wondering how you were going with sourcing pots and screens...

Thanks mate. I found OneWire here https://github.com/PaulStoffregen/OneWire and PID_v1 here https://github.com/br3ttb/Arduino-PID-Library

Thanks mate.

Thanks Lael & SBOB for the code updating info. Can 1 of you pls provide the links to the OneWire and PID_v1 libraries? Also, has there been any progress on sourcing pots for malt pipes & nice thick filter plates (top & bottom)? ​only asking as i have the controller built and want to get to...

Mate, Could you please write up some instructions on how to upgrade the software in a way that novices to the world of Arduino can follow?? Lots of us would be grateful if you could do that & post it in the build thread. beers Croz

Just wondering what pumps everyone is planning to use? I have a March 809, but will probably save it for my regular brewing duties. I have found a few of possible units: 240v 1. Fullpint has the chugger @$249 4.1m head, 22.7l/m flow & 1/2" mpt thread...

Guys, To save Lael, please copy the latest list into a new message & edit it to add "received" next to your name when you get it. Guidos - updated your entry ;) Beers Croz 1. Fatamorgana - paid + 1 extra probe paid 2. natdene - paid - sent 3. Belter - paid 4. gap - paid - sent, received 5...

Got a delivery yesterday. WHOOT! WHOOT! The entire family asked - "Is that beer stuff?" lol now to create some time to open it & assemble the contents ;)

Awesome work guys! Sorry I couldn't get there to lend a hand. Interested in hearing more about the pots & filter plates. I know my name isn't big kev, but geez "I'm Excited!" Looking forward to brewing smaller batches more often. This setup will let me do that easily.

Hi lael I remember a while back we talked about how you were hunting down a supply of pots and mesh screen. I sent you an email with details of a screen supplier. I know you have been busy with the kit but wondered if you had made any inroads on pots and screen? Unfortunately I can't make it...

I can highly recommend Punkin's element guard kits & elements - you'll find both on this page http://www.stilldragon.com.au/elements-guards-and-controller-kits/ his elements are 2400 (ULD), 3600 (LD & ULD) & 4800 (ULD) W, depending on what you want Punkin gives great service….no affiliation...

Hi Lael, i'm back from hols & have paid up. beers crozdog

I've posted this before a few times... measure the diameter in cm divide it by 2 to get the radius use excel to calculate how many L/cm using the formula (pi x rsquared)/1000 Use that value to make up 2 simple tables in excel: 1 to determine how many cm = a volume (ie required depth=desired...

Hi & welcome. Brewing is a heap of fun, like the others have said, you can not only make beers better than the mainstream, but also ones you can't buy here. I'll take 4kingale's comment 1 step further - you need to understand the process in order to control it, so read, learn, experiment. ask...

I don't see why it wouldn't work. Only issue I can see is it may be a higher watt density, so you amy get some scorching. Give it a burl - you never know. Otherwise heat your strike & sparge water with it. Don't forget to rip out the solenoid valves from the dead machine while you're stripping...

I had some leaking at the bottom of the post cause the rubber had word down due to the posts being taken on / off. made a new silicon bakeware washer, all fixed.

I agree it's all about your volumes & losses. Instead of using a marked up depth stick, it's easy enough to pull a spreadsheet together to use as a handy reference for each vessel. here is how I do it: 1. Measure the vessel diameter in cm to the nearest mm 2. use the following formula to work...

Sounds a bit like the "PoMo bucket measuring system" from way back when.... "A handful of gypsum, pinch of Epsom salts and a teaspoon of calcium chloride. Goes well with a mash of a bucket of base malt and about half a pint glass of crystal" funny thing was he meant calcium carbonate not...
