Abstract

An improved boiler apparatus having multiple resistive heating elements are provided with fixed resistances that can be rewired to allow dual voltage capability and at the same time, reduced watt density. For 120V operation, the large diameter 9-ohm coil is used alone to provide the lowest possible watt density. For 240V operation, all three heating coils are wired in series, creating a low watt density but high wattage heater.

Abstract

A method and apparatus for carbonating a liquid in a pressurizable vessel, including first connecting a vessel with a carbon dioxide tank, wherein said vessel contains a liquid. A vessel can then be pressurized with carbon dioxide to a desired pressure. A pump or compressor can be activated to circulate gas through a hose out of the head space of the vessel to a carbonating stone back into the vessel. After a pre-determined period of time the pump is deactivated, and the carbon dioxide can cease to be introduced to the liquid within the vessel.

Abstract

A modular wireless brewing sensor comprising a processor housing. The processor housing has a power source, a processing means, an antenna and a RF transmitter. A separable probe housing can be coupled to the processor housing. The probe housing can comprise a probe, a fitting, a seal element, and a fitting fastener. A modular wireless brewing sensor can be communicatively connected to a control system that can provide a user real-time feedback on the environmental conditions within a brewing vessel. A brewing system can be used to control other brewing apparatuses, such as a burner or pump upon the environmental conditions exceeding pre-determined thresholds set in the control system by a user.

Abstract

A method and apparatus for carbonating a liquid in a pressurizable vessel, including first connecting a vessel with a carbon dioxide tank, wherein said vessel contains a liquid. A vessel can then be pressurized with carbon dioxide to a desired first pressure. A pump is activated to circulate the liquid through a hose out of the vessel to a fitting assembly and out of the fitting assembly back into the vessel. While the liquid is flowing through the fitting assembly carbon dioxide is introduced to the liquid at a second pressure level, wherein the second pressure is greater than said first pressure. After a pre-determined period of time the pump is deactivated and the carbon dioxide can cease to be introduced to the liquid flowing through the fitting assembly.

Abstract

An enhanced bottle filler assembly for filling bottles with a liquid from a pressurized vessel into an unpressurized vessel. In a preferred embodiment a molded body has a fitting housing and a grip formed perpendicular to one another. A grip passage interposing the grip, a valve actuator interposing the grip passage, a housing passage interposing the fitting housing, wherein said housing passage is fluidly connected to the grip passage. Two tubes are placed inside each other forming an annulus where a compressed gas can be forced to the bottom of a vessel to purge the vessel of oxygen. A sealing mechanism allows a liquid to flow into the bottle when trigger is pulled.

Abstract

A process of mashing grain into fermentable sugar wherein two pots are used in the process. A first pot and a second pot is partially filled with water. Heat is added to the first pot. Heat is transferred to the second pot by transferring the water from the first pot to the second pot at a preestablished rate. Grain is added to the second pot which in conjunction with the water forms a wort. The wort is drained from the second pot to the first pot.
