Does anyone have any idea how I could get started on an all grain clone recipe?
After some Googling, I've found two methods of darkening homemade Belgian candi syrup/sugar.
Let's keep the additives aside (citric acid, DAP, etc.) and not get into the debate over cane vs. beet or whether this truly is Belgian candi sugar/syrup.
1. One method involves holding the...
Has anyone given cooling snakes a try to control fermentation temperature or to lager? They would have to be hooked up to either a water pump or glycol system.

I've seen some homemade versions of this concept using stainless...
Does anyone know where I can buy bulk flaked or instant rice in Canada? (55lbs/25kg)
My regular malt supplier wants $40 for a bag. Their malt is reasonably priced at around $28.
I am planning on housing 3-4 STC-1000 "Ebay" Temp Controllers in a control box. Because this box would be in a central location, I'd have to extend the probe wires by soldering connections.
Are there any problems that I might encounter doing this?
Will this throw off the readout?
How...
I'm 99% that I have a faulty SSR. The out light on the PID goes off though my element light stays on. Can an SSR be faulty and only work part of the time? I was always under the impression that when it failed, it failed completely.
I know that my SSR is shutting off during normal operation. I can tell because my element light shuts off when a temperature is reached in automatic mode. This tells me that the SSR is working since the relay is closed when this happens.
I was following Kal's advice:

I'll try tonight with fresh water (mine's about 40F right now.)
Has anyone else had this issue?
I purchased an RTD sensor with cable from Auber and they have colour-coded the cables red and blue.
Two of the cables are red.
Are the red cables that go into 3 and 4 in the PID interchangeable?
I assume so since they made them the same colour.
Running autotune on my Auber PID today.
Set the temp on automatic to 154F.
At 144F, I initiated autotune (setting to 2).
The kettle continued to rise to 212F.
Is this normal?
