• Posted in thread: Testing a 240v control panel with 120v on 04-28-2013 at 12:21 AM
  Your're right, I realized that as soon as I posted. Either way though its probably not a good
  idea. An ohmmeter and a triple check of the wiring to the diagram should be all that is needed.
  Although p...

  Did you say you were going to split the 120v hot lead and connect that to the two hot leads of
  the 240v? That would result in a direct short, the hot leads of a 240V system are both 120V but
  180 degre...

• Posted in thread: Keg Setup adding another tap on 03-21-2013 at 10:01 PM
  The cheapest possible way would be to get a splitter for the CO2 line and use party taps. You
  could do this for beers that need to age or ones that you will not drink as frequently like a
  RIS.

• Posted in thread: Fill a hole in kegerator on 03-21-2013 at 09:39 PM
  Use these 7/8 plugs. When I built my kegarator I drilled more hole than I currently need so I
  did't have to do it in the future and I just filled in the remainder with these.

• Posted in thread: Thoughts on plans for recirculating system on 02-26-2013 at 07:04 AM
  Before I spend the cash I want to get your opinions on a Brutus 20-like recirculating system.
  As of now I have a 52qt rectangular cooler mash tun with copper manifold and a 15 gallon 5500W
  electric ke...

• Posted in thread: Almost Ready to Bottle. Need your Assistance on 02-13-2013 at 03:06 AM
  The general advise is to bottle when you have three consecutive daily readings of a steady FG.
  Also, ensure that the FG is within range of where it should end up.Do you have a bottling
  bucket? I would...

  You could sanitize a coat hanger and fish it out instead of your hands. You could even flame it
  off if you wanted to be extra careful.

• Posted in thread: Voltage Rating. What exactly does mean? on 08-11-2012 at 08:30 PM
  Yes, for a 240v element you will have two 120v lines powering it BUT the lines are 180 degrees
  out of phase meaning that while one is at +120v the other is at -120V. Therefore there will be
  240v acros...

• Posted in thread: anyone come up with a simple electric two-vessel all-grain system? on 07-16-2012 at 03:19 PM
  I was going to vorlauf the fist gallon or so going into the bucket to help clarify. I guess for
  both fly and batch sparging that the wort would sit for 45min to an hour so I am not sure of
  the effect ...

• Posted in thread: anyone come up with a simple electric two-vessel all-grain system? on 07-16-2012 at 05:07 AM
  I am actually in the middle of finalizing a system that is the same as you described. I built a
  15 gal. aluminum kettle with a 5500W 240V Camco ripple element and a toolbox control panel with
  all Aube...
