First off, credit to where credit is due: the inspiration for this rig came from jkarp and Boerderij Kabouter. Without you guys leading the way, I would never have been able to build this. Also worth mentioning is the quality electrical info from CodeRage; his advise kept me from building an...

Ok, I feel like an idiot... I ordered 3 of these: GCX3194-120L But for the life of me, I can't figure out how to wire them so that the light comes on when the circuit is closed... Help!

I'm building a smaller (3.5 - 4 gal) electric brewery to use indoors during the summer and am considering combining 3 batches over 3 days into my sanke keg fermenter... So the question is, is this a good idea? Can I brew the first batch, pitch, then on day 2 add the 2nd batch and repeat on...

I'm trying to understand how the fittings are connected to the pots - welded, weldless, quality??? Could someone post some pics of the inside and outside of the fittings without the thermometer, valve, etc. attached? I appreciate any help here, as I'm trying to plan the next iteration of my...

http://www.kentplacesoftware.com/products/BeerAlchemyTouch.html Thanks Kent Place Software!:ban: Just installed it... wireless sync is awesome. It is crashing when I try to access one batch... will need to look into that as it's the batch I plan to brew this week.

Despite the fact that the temperature in the Phoenix area hit 100 before 9:00 this morning... I had made up my mind that I was going to brew, and brew I did... I had many "firsts" with this brew day, most successful, one was not... List of things I did for the first time today: 1...

OMG!!! All I can say is that this would be mine if money were no object. BBT Pilot Brewery Anyone ever see one of these in action?

Although I'm not super frugal, I do not like to waste money on anything - brewing included. So I thought I would share my new setup because it might interest others who share my cheap nature... Here it is - you might have seen the system before, but this is its new home courtesy of a $72...

I upgraded to the new version of Beer Alchemy today (ver. 1.7) and I noticed that all my efficiency numbers have changed... lowered across the board. I'm still looking to see if I notice any other changes, but I'm wondering if this is a new bug, or did it correct a calculation that was wrong all...

Does anyone know the thermal mass of a 10 gallon Rubbermaid cooler that i can plug into my brewing software. I have always preheated and used a 0 value, but I'd like to cut out that step. Based on some searching, I've found 1.55 lb, but I didn't see how that was calculated. Anyone have a more...

For quite a while now... a few months at least, I have been planning Brewery 2.0. Taking many ideas from The Pol, I designed Brewery 2.0 to be a simple HERMS system that was both (somewhat) easy on the budget and easy on the storage space. I've been AG brewing for more than a year now, and I...

Honestly, I'm still don't understand the full importance of lacing, but when I saw this (from a modified batch of Ed's Haus): it did bring a bit of joy to my day... And, no, I don't rush my drinking...

After 2 extract w/ specialty grains batches under my belt, I finally crossed over and went all-grain... Like so many others here, the recipe was Ed's Haus Pale Ale. I put a lot of planning into this batch and wanted to see if I could really nail it... and almost did. My setup is basic -...

I feel like Tom Hanks in Cast Away upon making fire... My fist batch is officially beer! :ban: Started the SNPA clone last Sat. night, had a blast and ended up with a wort with an O.G. of 1.052. My bucket has been keeping me company in my office in a water tub and bubbled away for about...
