Gout
Bentleigh Brau Haus
brewers, today i got the chance to brew with my improved brew rig and nice stainless QD fittings - oh it was so much better than days of old worm drive clamps.
Anyway i made a CFC many years ago, and its worked well for a long time however today i am sick of its little leaks and issues, its also a bit slow to chill 50Lt of wort.
What i want to get is a plate chiller and have a temp readout on the wort outlet (like i have seen others do)
questions:
- do i need a hop screen in the kettle so it wont get into the chiller?
- the mashmaster or similar 3inch dial temp probs - are they very slow to change temp? and i saw some people complain about their lack of quality ( google search - not sure where these home brewers where - usa maybe) has anyone used these for this use and had issues?
I would like to use a stainless temp probe such as probe RTD and connect it to a digital display, as i already have 1 pid controller and want to add a similar for my HLT so it wouldnt look out of place on the control box. ( maybe a bit of an over kill tho)
- does anyone know of a display that might suit such a probe? if i can not do this i am back to the temp dials and a T peice.
I have so much brew stand envy of the fab units out there.
thanks for the help
