    Help find a HERMS picture

    So I am trying to decide on mounting my herms coil. I do want to have a temp probe or thermometer on the output of the coil. I did see a picture on here that was very nice, i think they used a tee or something so theconnections were pointing to the front but the coil came out the side? Help...

    Electric system works! Few questions....

    It's alive!!! However, when I go to do an auto tune, i should have my water and set value at mash temp before running it? The pid probe is in the tee of my sight glass of my hlt (which is getting a herms coil) and water will be circulated around the kettle and coil constantly during the mash...

    Kettle wiring hookup problem

    So I finally get to installing my power cord on my kettle, just like Kal's method. Well I ordered the same cord grips from mcmaster but they don't fit the boxes I got from lowes. But, even if the grips did fit, my power cord is too fat to fit through the cord grip. What should I do? I bought my...

    Weldless keggle hole size issue (possible)

    So I got the new soldered bulkhead kits from bargain fittings for my keggles. I have a 1/2" punch which makes a 7/8" hole. The hole is slightly bigger than the recommended 13/16" size. Will the slight gap around the bulkhead nipple cause issues with the setup or will it still get tight enough? I...

    Cheap step bit find

    For those of you needing a step bit, I found one on amazon that should work for almost everyone's needs. It's the neiko 1/4 to 1 3/8 step bit. I just drilled two 1 1/4 holes in two kegs for heating elements. I used motor oil to lube, dipping it after each step. Punched both holes in about five...

    Great first pour, foamy pours after

    So my kegerator pours great the first pull, then it's foam city on beers after that. Keg connection lines 5 foot I believe, 36 degree temp inside, 120mm fan in the lid to move air, two epoxy mixers in each dip tube, pressure set to 11-12 psi. Pours a pint in about 9-11 seconds. First beer has a...

    22mm light question

    Are the contacts supposed to be loose in the back? I tightened the spade terminal down in the back but the whole assembly wiggles around. Is that normal?

    Milesvdustin's electric brewery build

    So it finally began this weekend. I have all the holes cut in my panel, its painted, and mostly everything is mounted. I need to get some screws to mount my heat sink and ssr, and the terminal boards to the backplate. Then, its wire it up and see what happens. I need to figure out my wall power...

    Wall outlet question

    I have a 240 outlet with three wires to it, no other wires in the box. Is the wire that isn't hot a ground or neutral? And, can I just run an appropriately sized wire to my outlet? It's about four inches away from the main panel. The outlet is supplied by a 30amp 240v breaker.

    Schematic input

    I modified one of PJs diagrams to suit my needs, and I am just wanting a second set of eyes on it before I pull the trigger on parts. I essentially added the pause and reset switches on the timer, and added a contactor so that power can be completely isolated from the ssr and elements entirely...

    Heat sink setup question

    Well, I finally got approval from SWMBO to go full electric. I ordered the plugs for my kettles last night. I was looking at the SSRs and heat sinks on the auber website, and that is 40 bucks for a heat sink and relay! Ebay has options for a whole lot cheaper! I am looking at this setup on ebay...

    Keggle or Regular pot questions

    So I have a dilemna, or at least I am fighting my own brain. I have a 62 quart bayou classic pot, as well as a keg with the top cut out. I want to go electric (starting soon). I am also going to eventually incorporate a pump to be able to whirlpool. What type of diptube should I put in the keg...

    13 month primary- Results are in!

    So some of you saw that I finally kegged a beer that had been in primary for over a year. I brewed it on April 12th, 2011 (Maybe off a day or two) and I finally put it in a keg two weeks ago. It is a sierra nevada pale ale clone. Some things to note: 1: The beer darkened a decent amount in...
