Thanks for reinforcing my point.

CEO Keg King is quite clearly the Donald Trump of home brewing. He spends more time blaming the previous administration by posting on AHB than running his business. All his products are beautiful, perfect products, the best.

I have the G40 set to -10C which has a 4:1 solution of water/glycol.

I am using a single KL G40 to maintain temperatures across 2 x 200L jacketed uni-tanks (also procured from KL). I have managed to crash cool one fermenter from around 20C to 2C which took about 4-5 hours while maintaining the other (already crash cooled) fermenter at 2C. I haven't had any...

It's great to see people interested in the project whether you are willing to pay for a subscription or not. Before this goes on too far, I'd like to provide Kegland with the respect they deserve and not hijack their thread any further than this conversation has to date, so I'll leave this last...

I'm assuming you have a job in which you are paid some form of periodic salary, much like a subscription model - in that you offer your time & service to an employer in exchange for money where the payments are made at regular intervals. I would love to stop by your place of employment and...

Yes, I must concede that the motivation for payment of a service built through years of development and ongoing infrastructure costs is solely greed.

I'm the guy that develops brewgenuity and also helping KL with the fridge. The fridge offers fermentation profiles, so it will automatically ramp up our down the temperature after a set period of time. This allows you to set and forget. You can see progression through charts on the website...

Another thing to take in to consideration is how you are going to clean everything once you are finished. Depending on how you clean your system is going to depend on how much hot water you're going to need. During the boil I refill my HLT and heat it to about 80 degrees C which I then use to...

Before I upgraded to my 100L system I used 50L kegs and could get 40L in a batch if I used no-foam and a bit of top-up water. It can be very dicey though and boil overs can be painful if you get scalded by boiling wort.

I typically do one heating session for a 60L batch but if I want to push my system to the limits and get an extra 20L I need to do two HLT steps. So I agree with everyone else here, just pointing out the issues that occur due to various limitations in a system. I guess the thing you really need...

exactly what mb-squared said, though you can trade size in the HLT if you are happy to do two separate heating sessions: 1. Heat enough water for the Mash prior to starting 2. Heat enough water for the sparge during the Mash. I tend to heat as much as possible during step 1 on my 100L system...

MT definitely shouldn't be the largest, but I'd swap it all round so HLT is 100L, MT is 75L and Kettle is 200L if those are the sizes you are stuck with (otherwise get 3x 200L pots!). You should be able to do 100L+ batches easily with this config, though you'd need to refill the HLT and heat it...

The software isn't open source at the moment. I may upload it to CodePlex or something at a later date - once it's running smoothly. For those interested, it is written in C# using Visual Studio 2010 (.Net 4.0 framework) but will probably migrate to VS2012 and develop a "Metro" user interface...

The element I use for my RIMS tube is from Keg King but they seem to be a little dodgy where the power cord is bound to the element. Grain and Grape also sell the same units. I can't remember where I bought the element for my HLT - it was from a specialist parts supplier (somewhere in Ringwood...

Hi Guys, I've created a blog about my RIMS brewery here. My system is controlled by a PC using software I have written which interfaces with the brewery using a USB interface controller.

Hi Guys, I've been working on a blog for my RIMS brewery which I built about a year ago. http://greyghostbrewery.wordpress.com/ It's my first AG brewery, excluding the plastic bucket system I started out with. There have been continuos upgrades since it's first inception and it will continue...

Kegs Online have a single ($80) and a dual ($200) regulator. They also sell a dual regulator joiner for $17.95. Why would you pay $200 for the dual regulator when you could buy two singles & the joiner for less?

I have been told by the guys at Grain and Grape (who said they spoke to the guys at White Rabbit) that the yeast in the bottles is not the same yeast they ferment with. I imagine years ago when they first started making it they used the same yeast but now they have matured as a brewery I would...
