Cheers all! Congrats Yooper, you have put lots of hard work in to the community!

Well its been just about 9 years. I did eventually graduate, and thankfully I now have more money, but seemingly even less time than before. I made a bunch of wine, fell out of both wine and beer making for a few years, but now im back in to the swing of things. The poor fridge has moved 2-3...

So just wondering if anyone out there has some good advice on how to test this plug and see how it is wired. I can kill the breaker, then take the cover off and see if it has green or white or bare wire, but that is just the wire, and who knows what is really running through that wire. I...

Just got back from a week out in the field. Before I left I pulled the machine fuses out of the box. Also noticed that it is rated for 30A, but this is 3phase, will the switch be able to handle 50A single phase? If not ill just strip out all internals and only use the enclosure. Also...

Thanks guys! I might get started on the spa panel portion this week. If these were originally set up for a welder, would It still likely be H-H-N? Ill drag my multimeter over there tomorrow and check out what kind of voltage is coming off the plug. Talked with the boss today and he said...

It looks like i just found my answer deep within the E-Primer Stickey. Either this or just run a ground and get a new 4 wire receptacle on the outlet with ground going back to the main panel which is just inches away. From P-J:

This is the location of the other panel and plug in a different building. It should be fairly easy to switch out for GFIC and add a ground correct? Plug is right below main box there. Looks like the breaker is a dual, and they are both 50A. Checked with voltage detector to find the correct...

Well it seems that I jumped the gun a little. I have already started to build the kettle, and have ordered parts. Last night I decided to make sure that the main service plugs were correct. I read through some(alot) of the electric primer stickey. Looks like my connections are 240v with no...

I was going to avoid this at first, because I want to use my current IC and whirlpool, but then If found this, and now it looks like ill be a bottom drainer!

Picked up a Keg this morning, I suppose I should have looked closer at it before hefting it to my car... Going to try and go back tomorrow and switch it out.

Yes another EBIAB build. I have been extract brewing for almost 4 years now and I think its time to take the jump to Allgrain. To make things 'simpler' ill use a BIAB system (that i build) to brew. I like that its simple (one kettle for all), and has less explosive potential. This...

I participated in a yeast experiment with a local brewery. They brewed, gave us a 5.5 gallon keg and a different white labs yeast. I think about 20 or 25 different ones total. They kept all these. In the end there was left over wort, and a bunch of home brewers with empty carboys, they all got...

Its been quite a while since i updated this, figured i should add the end, so that others can refrence it! I ended up calling the neighbors grandfather, who used to be an appliance repairman for years. Over the phone, he told me EXACTLY what I needed to do, it was awesome. Two of the wires...

Moderators, could you move this over to the DIY section? I think it will get more interest there thanks.

Made another tap handle today. This one is an old weed wacker piston. Cut and welded the rod to one of those bungs, then grinding, polishing and paint. I am going to keep this one for myself. The piston still rocks back and forth :mug: sorry about the crappy phone pic.
