    GOOD on Netflix STREAMING?

    Sex Education on Netflix is a good one.

    Can I convert a carbonation keg lid to dispense?

    Yea, I would make sure that your floating dip tube FDT is oriented in such a way that the liquid intake on the end of the dip tube is fully submerged. The filter might be acting as a float. First give the keg a shake and see if you get flow. If you dont, try pulling the FDT out completely and...

    Help needed for eBrewing system I bought. (Plug is HHN 3 prong twist lock. 250v to the elements, switches and internals run 125v. Trips GFCI.)

    Good news, everyone! So I wired in the new 220v coil relay contactors and traced the wiring back to determine which hot leg was already in use. I then disconnected the neutral/ ground and connected the other hot leg to the coils and other components. Plugged everything in, breaker didn't...

    Help needed for eBrewing system I bought. (Plug is HHN 3 prong twist lock. 250v to the elements, switches and internals run 125v. Trips GFCI.)

    Also, I'm wondering if I could just swap the current relay switches for the new 240v coil ones and then reroute whatever is connected to the ground/ neutral wire to one hot leg so that it all runs 240v instead of 120/ 240v. Would that work? Seems to be the simplest route, rather than rewiring...

    The switch doesn't say 2A, but I'm guessing that's the one, because it has 3 settings. The middle position is off, and left and right each have wired out connections. One controls HLT and one the BK.

    And here is the temp controller: Which wires should connect with which ports? Thanks again!

    Sorry for the extended hiatus, but here is what I was able to come up with. Please let me know if I missed anything or messed anything up. Thanks!

    Awesome, thanks for checking! I'll look at theElectric Brewery for the 240v European wiring schematic and see what paired down version of a wiring diagram I can come up with for critique/ feedback. Cheers!

    Alrighty, just checked the AC/DC adapter. Model: LW-065/500/120/001 Input: 100-240v~1.5A 50/60Hz Output: 12v=5A So it looks like it will work with HH full service. My outlet reads 250v w/ a multimeter, will that slightly overload this, as it's recommended 240v? Thanks!

    Help needed for eBrewing system I bought. (Plug is HHN 3 prong twist lock. 250v to the elements, switches and internals run 125v. Trips GFCI.)

    Yea, that's the plan. I'll have to get those new relay switches that you mentioned and make sure the 12v converter can run 240v. It looks like the temp controller will work, and I couldn't tell if the HLT/OFF/BK selector switch can run 240v or if I need a new one. I linked the part earlier in...

    I can check the outlet and the breaker. If it's HHG will that work w/ a GFCI?

    Help needed for eBrewing system I bought. (Plug is HHN 3 prong twist lock. 250v to the elements, switches and internals run 125v. Trips GFCI.)

    How will that work with the GFCI breaker? Doesn't GFCI rely on neutral signal, or because they are essentially the same in this 240v system, it wouldn't matter? I think the outlet is wired HHN (specifically, but it's on a garage subpanel so N and G are bonded back at the main panel. And could...

    So I'll order 2 new relays, and I'll also need to get a 240v selector switch to choose HLT vs. BK, right? Also, if I run this at hh n/g, will I need 4 pole plugs or can I use the existing outlet and plugs? Thanks!
