So, i emailed Auber Instruments with a question about some replacement cables I recently ordered from them. I would have liked to have heard form Auber, but my email has gone ignored. anyone have any success getting customer service from Auber?

Yes, that is the one. The probe is fine as it works with a different cable. In looking at Auber's site last night, i noticed they offer a SS clad cable. I ordered a few of those to replace the bad cable and to give myself a back-up. I guess I will find out in a few days if that solves the...

anyone know what this error is? I have not been able to find it online. I have three PIDs and cables. Tonight one PID showed this error. Let the troubleshooting begin. here is what i have done: Switched a cable from a working PID to the error device. error went away. the cable is...

i have also destroyed poly measuring cups buy using them to soak small parts in Oxyclean. Wife suggested i use glass, but the last measuring cup lasted about 18 months.

I have a friend that wants me to brew him a tripel this weekend. I could use some help/comments on my brew plan. what do you guys think? Recipe Overview Wort Volume Before Boil: 12.50 US gals Wort Volume After Boil: 11.00 US gals Volume Transferred: 10.75 US gals Water Added To...

i like... i could also use a device that measures SG similar to how a digital pH meter works.

If you could invent anything to make your brew day easier, what would you invent? I would invent a device to remind me to set my PID from 211 degrees to 70% after the boil gets rolling. I have no idea why I always forget that.

will do. thanks. i only had the single serving sized test solutions. the large bottle is a good suggestion. thanks

do i need to keep buying test solution or can i calibrate it with distilled water?

so, i am an idiot... that last time i used it the meter was bang on. I just re-tested it and the calibration was off by .7. That would be the issue. So glad I stopped adding acid when i did. I have the yellow Milwaukee tester from Northern Brewer.

So, a few months back I got my first pH meter. Imagine my surprise when I learned during my first all-grain brew with it that my mash pH was about 6.4. Well, since then I did some reading and starting playing with my malt bill to try to add some acid. No luck. On my last batch I added a...

check your water... if you are using city water that may explain the Cl. Try running your water through a cheap activated carbon water filter (a $20 RV filter will attached with garden hose fittings), pre-boiling it, or use bottle spring water (not RO/distilled as will lacks needed minerals).

i am having trouble with the alkalinity radio button... anyone else (mac Office 2008)

I have a 12" SS false bottom that I used to use in my ten-gallon cooler mash tun... now I am using it in a converted keg. I may need something with more surface area.

Well, I knew it would run a little slower than the crush from my LHBS, but I was surprised how much slower. I set my mill at .035" because that seemed to be the ideal on the posts I read. My LHBS crush would recirculate easily with my ball value open nearly full bore. With the new crush...
