    why would they remove my review?

    Did you contact the vendor before posting a negative review? I'm just curious if there was an issue with the kit. If you didn't like the beer, I find it strange that you and the vendor both feel a replacement kit is making it right.

    Funny things you've overheard about beer

    I actually studied this case in college. She won the law suit because McDonalds found they could use less coffee with hotter water. Profit was more important to them than public safety.

    Spent grain dog treats and hops

    I doubt that the mash paddle would transfer whatever is poisonous in hops to the cookies, but I have no first hand experience. If you feel uncomfortable, better to throw them out than to risk it.

    Are all potentiometers equal?

    I went back to Radio Shack and they didn't have a 500k pot so I bout a 100k pot. Installed the 100k and still same problem. Read every post in the "PWM Show me how" thread. Read about potentiometers in the link in this thread, checked that my diodes were installed in the right direction...

    Are all potentiometers equal?

    I broke the potentiometer on my Bakatronics PWM before I was able to test the boil kettle. I picked up a new pot at Radio Shack and during testing found that the element fires but I have no control. I'm wondering if the pot is different or if I've made a mistake putting together the PWM? All...

    Apartment brewing: eBIAB + all-in-a-toolbox system

    You should use a male plug at the element end. Right now your cord has the male end which means the prongs are hot.
