    Would you be able to do a video on what a relay is? What's a CAN BUS? Why is the pressure sensor in that port and not one of the others? Seperately, do you need the airlock on the gas-out if there is always going to be positive pressure inside the tank? I'm assuming all these components are optional and you can have say just the heating and cooling without gas in/out and pressure sensor? Great video as always!

    • @PortlyGentleman
      @PortlyGentleman 2 дні тому

      I've got it on that part because that's where I like to look at it to be honest. You wouldn't want to have it in on a liquid port. The M12 version with the solenoid valve may be the best one to go with. I just don't like the way it looks functionally it's probably the best. CAN bus stands for Controller Area Network bus. It's a robust and efficient communication protocol widely used in vehicles and industrial automation. Think of it as a way for different electronic devices within a car or machine to "talk" to each other. * Decentralized: Unlike traditional systems where a central computer controls everything, CAN bus allows devices to communicate directly with each other. This makes the system more reliable and responsive. * Message-based: Data is transmitted in the form of messages or "frames," each with an identifier that indicates its content and priority. This ensures that important messages, like those from the brakes in a car, get through quickly. * Robust: CAN bus is designed to work reliably in harsh environments with electrical noise and interference, making it ideal for use in vehicles and industrial settings. * Efficient: CAN bus uses a simple and efficient communication scheme, minimizing the amount of wiring and processing power required. This helps to reduce costs and complexity.

    This is fascinating to me. My day job is working for a global multinational corp helping them secure scientific/lab/medical equipment and we spend a lot of time on CAN bus architectures specifically, so this is a weird crossover for me as a homebrewer. Part of me wants to lobby my wife to buy it early as a 'research opportunity' and part of me wants to wait and see how it shakes out as we don't really need automation at this point in our homebrewing production (45L every few months). I think for now I'm going to watch Bradley and Lyndon have fun with the prototypes and early release gear and see where this leads, but man is the future looking pretty bright. Still want something that does live pH and SG readings as part of the brewing and fermentation cycle, but as of yet that's unobtainium at the homebrewing scale/cost level. I also wouldn't mind a flow meter that tells me how much wort/beer has flown through a given valve, but that's also science fiction at our cost level (hundreds of dollars/euros) right now. Still, wow, very cool to see Oyvind and Brewtools pushing the edge of the envelope as far as tech in brewing :D :D :D. I do have a savings fund where I sink a bunch of money each paycheck towards brewing specifically, and Brewtools and Kegland seem to be earning that money each year.

      Could you describe your thoughts in greater detail?

    • @PalCabral
      @PalCabral 18 днів тому

      Once you dilute spirits with water, distilled or well, it impacts the visual aspect of the spirit as it becomes transparent with it. A product will look great off the barrel but may look pale and lifeless once dilluted to 40/80 degrees, where it is normally consumed. The same with the flavour. Once you dillute the spirit the flavour changes. A strong concentration of flavours at barrel proof will often turn into scattered flavours when dilluted. That’s why the look and taste at proof is irrelevant if your idea is to sell the product at a dilluted level. I hope that made my point clearer?

    Can you describe what is happening here? Where is the wort taken from? Bottom drain or a side port? Ist it running through the chiller while whirlpooling? What's the timescale of all this steps? I have a similar setup, but it's not a Brewtools system and for it will never settle out, so I' trying to understand what is happening here.

    • @PortlyGentleman
      @PortlyGentleman Місяць тому

      Hey It's taken through the intake Port as always. That would be on the right side of the brewery as you're facing it. I probably started running it through the chiller at the very end of the whirlpool. It's been a long time...

    Just received one for Christmas and for the life of me, all I getting in excessive foaming. Basically I've wasted a keg of beer and still no luck getting this to fill without 80% foam.

    • @PortlyGentleman
      @PortlyGentleman 27 днів тому

      Um.. Make sure the beer is as cold as possible. This is going to help with foaming also, if you're overly carbonated, this may give you problems.. and or if you don't have enough line that may cause excessive foaming.

    Thank you for this video! I've been trying to figure out if I can use a heating element with my 7 gallon ss unitank 2 for fermenting kviek strains in the 90 - 100 range, and to heat up pbw for cleaning. I think I'm going to give this element a try after hearing your review and fitment. Thank you!

    • @PortlyGentleman

      I think you could probably get away with it although that tank is Port limited for sure..

    Love to see you distilling! Don't be afraid to dip your finger in the stream and rub your hands together to smell the changes during the run if tasting is too harsh. Important to learn to tell the difference between the cuts (heads-hearts-tails). Keep up the great work!
