    When Do You Need A De-Humidifier For Your Keezer

    Hosehead Brewery

    Hey folks, anyone using hosehead to control a RIMS tube? I cant find an element that is 220V and has low enough wattage so as to not scorch. Can you rewire the hosehead to run an element at 110v? Thank you.

    What PID should I get?

    Not to hijack the thread but I believe its kind of relevant- is the only difference between the td4 and ta4 manual mode? In my reading it seems that way. Therefore in a mash tun or HLT ta4 for cheaper may be a good option. Thank you. Jim
