Factors such as cleanup, smell, drunkenness, etc… those are just matters of domestic common sense. IOW, show her the respect she deserves & don’t be a slob, and she can’t really object to homebrewing. It’s not much different from having a passion for cooking chili, right...

My guess is that it functions as a service loop... so if you install the breaker in an actual load center, then you can reach the neutral bus.

Hopefully not hijacking.. Thanks Martin, How do we perform an auto-tune? My RTD reads dead nuts, verified by two lab-calibrated therms. Heating strike water is perfect: It reaches target temp, drops one degree, kicks on, bumps up to target temp, and dithers right there all day long...

Yes, please post it; that would be appreciated. Earlier today I crafted an APA at about 1.054, then bought a "real" oxygen setup to try out. I'd like to check out what you're working with... what fermentation temperatures are you keeping?

Back at ya, neighbor!!:tank: So yes, it will be kegged, all grain, APA or IPA. I usually pitch a large, stirplate'd starter. But I think now would be a great time to get an oxygen setup. I'll check out that that blonde... :mug:

Mine sits on top of the dryer in my laundry room. B-station is the next room over, about 15 feet away.

I have never rushed a batch, I usually dry-hop for at least two weeks, and I usually ferment for at least couple weeks, mostly due to laziness. But…. I have a party to attend in 3 weeks :rockin: and I want to bring a keg of APA or IPA. Any of you folks with a recipe for something that can...

Thanks in advance. Much appreciated. I'm planning on installing these items inside the spa panel. I understand the feed going into the panel will be unprotected, but the whole box will be in a separate room, behind a closed door, well away from the wet zone. Advice, suggestions, criticisms...

I trust your advice implicitly, but I'm curious about sealing within the box... those handy/gem boxes are not "weather tight"… Were there provisions to seal it off or are we not worried about water at the element contacts? Good enough with a solid ground and GFCI? Just thinking about...

To help another dummy… Regarding the yellow N coming out of the breaker and going to the receptacle: Is this only used for a N return in 110v devices? It looks like your receptacle (kettle) is grounding at the G bus (upper right). And the G bus is wired directly to the N bus, making both...

Awesome, thanks for the help. Right next to my brew station is a 110V GFI currently installed. So my needs are only for the 220V 30A. Cheers!

I have two choices: an easy 3-wire or a difficult 4-wire, cost would be about the same. 1) I have a 3 prong dryer outlet 15 feet from my brew station. I can use a spa panel to convert to 4 lead. Quick, easy, and 30A will cover my needs. 2) I used to have a spa, and one of the artifacts of that...

Hello fellow brewers!! I'm brand new to the forum and this is my first post. I started brewing in 1990 when I was 16. I currently do small-batch all grain pale ales, IPAs and barleywines, with an occasional stout. Hops arouse me, but not in a sexual way. BIAB is my current method; I’m...
