    GFCI and etc.

    Thanks for the replies. Now that I know I need a GFCI. I have one more dilemma. I live in an apartment; I'm not a home owner. :( Do I put the GFCI all the way upstream in the breaker box or do I settle for putting it the control panel. My fear about installing it in the breaker box is...

    Cam Locks

    I was totally wrong earlier, opps. They are compatible; you just need to decide based on the pipe and/or hose that you will be joining. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camlock_(fluid_fitting)

    Cam Locks

    First Timer Jumping into AG: checklist and some questions

    I'm using the 15 gallon brew kettle for mashing and the aluminum crock pot for chilling the drained wort. Yes, does mean that I would be making lagers and ales, sorry I could have made that more clear. For racking and transferring? I was planning to pump CO2 on top of the beer in the...

    First Timer Jumping into AG: checklist and some questions

    I have already bought a 15 gallon brew kettle, and now I am spec-ing out the rest. Here is what I am thinking: -digital thermometer (VWR 10-Memory Thermometer 4373) - overkill but why not? -propane cooker (185,000 BTU) -Aluminum crock pot (60 qt) - to be used for chilling the filtered wort...
