Hey all, i'm designing a hefty upgrade for my BCS controlled panel and was wondering if anyone can see a problem with my scope of works. Every system i've looked at seems to utilise solid state relays for switching the elements that have heatsinks mounted externally for effectiveness. Relay...
Vinegar worked wonders on my copper stuff when i was just starting out, now that I have StarSan there's no reason to use anything else cost per litre is low and it works a treat. When using vinegar I was using it at 50/50 with water and getting it to a hottish temp.

Grain and Grape are having a fathers day sale offering 20% off items under $250 and 10% off over $250. The gift card seemed like a good idea for me. Spend $160 on a $200 gift card and decide what I need (want) later. No affiliation, just seemed like a good deal.
Are caustic cleaners that much better? Should I consider replace the pick up tube and the wort return I was thinking of adding to the kettle using copper with stainless. Napisan and Star-San have been the go to thus far. I'll go with the 18m immersion better to overshoot then under build it and...
Hi guys,
I've been looking at buying some annealed copper to make a wort chiller and 18m (1/2") is the best value (I'll call around the air conditioning places before committing to the big green shed). I like the idea of future proofing my brewery for potential upgrades the best I can so I...
