or at least someone with a bit more knowledge than I. I built the backatronics pwm from this thread: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f170/pwm-show-us-how-221301/ Everything is working, have the led indicator light flashing on the ssr. I would like to put this in my panel...

I helped my neighbor brew his first beer tonight. Hopefully it turns out well

15,940 + 5 gal Alpha King Clone 5 gal Ode to Arthur= 15,950

My first RIS was the Old Rasputin clone published in BYO. $77 for 5 gallon batch and worth every penny.

I put one in a 30 qt turkey fryer pot. Worked just fine and that's a thin gauge aluminum.

My first was a 5 gal rubbermaid cooler. It did just fine for regular beers although it is a bit small. You'll want to keep the grist ratio to a qt/lb and either use a fly sparge or a couple batch sparges

+5 Three Floyd's Zombie Dust clone = 3768

I use my wife's amazon account when I order stuff. All the suggestions she gets are gun parts and beer paraphernalia :)

+5 gal old Rasputin clone. 436

absolutely. Don't crack it open and store in the fridge until you are are ready to brew the ipa. I would investigate starters however.

Fermentate - Im not exactly sure of the metric. When carbonation is discussed the units are always volumes or co2. The calculators I was referring to split up sugar measurements into table, corn and dme. Since that is what he asked about that is the value I gave him.

From two different carbonation calculators, 3/4 of a cup is 6 oz of dme. This will give you between 2.4 and 2.6 vol of co2 in 5 gal of beer. Definitely boil the water for 10 min or so then add it to the bottling bucket. 2 cups is about right you just want tohaley get the dme dissolved.

I had heard about this beer but had never really come across it until a few weeks ago at my in laws. I must say sipping this in front of a roaring fire while.it spitted snow and the wind howled outside made me actually like the christmas season. Decided then it would be my next brew, started...

Look up the old Rasputin clone that byo did. It is extract and the beer is good. I haven't made it yet but scheduled to this week.

It 's fine. Don't panic. Iodine can be uses to kill nasties in water backpacking in the outmost regions. Not going ti kill you or anybody who drinks it. Might be an off flavor bit with that little amount I doubt it.
