Hi all, can you give me some insight on this error code? My controller was working fine for about a month and I just went to check in on my latest batch to discover my best freezer was cold and the heating element wasn't operational at all. The buttons don't work at all either. All I get is the...

I have a 30A 5500W system I'm building and have run into a stumbling block. I'm wiring up my panel and have a 240V indicator light that will turn on when the contactor for the element is switched on. Im using 10AWG on the element side of the contactor-but the yellow spade connectors seem too...

I'm planning an STC-1000 addition to a fridge so I can use it as a ferm chamber. What I don't understand is how to get power to the inside of the fridge for a heat source (bulb/heatlamp, etc). I had the thought of drilling though the wall of the fridge but was wondering if there was a better...

I've started accumulating parts for my control panel build. I will be building a 2 element, single PID control panel based off of one of P-J's drawings. Thanks P-J for your incredible contribution to the e-brewing world. My goal is to build a low to moderate budget system. No, this won't be...

My Panel will be fed by 30A. it will have 2 5500W elements, single pid, single ssr, 2 contractors and an estop (following one of P-J's diagrams). Boxes are starting to arrive full of fun switches and lights and what not...can't wait to get going on this and be done with my heat sticks. My...

Hi Folks, I'm accumulating parts for a single PID, 2 element control panel. I am interested in using this box: http://www.homedepot.com/p/t/100404149?catalogId=10053&langId=-1&keyword=12x12x6&storeId=10051&N=5yc1v&R=100404149# My question is do I need to create a back panel, and if not, how...

For those looking to get a propane burner/pot, this may be a good introductory option for you..Looks like it's already had a hole punched for a valve too! i am in no way associated with this site (other than that I really like the $5 flat shipping policy). The deal will be up there for 1 day...

I have Wit that tastes a touch watery. I applied the CO2 to it last week to see if cabonation would help things along, but after another taste last night, it's not going to be where I want it. Is it too late to add some DME/MD to the beer in the keg to increase body?

Just went to the basement to check my Wit that is fermenting. WLP400, has been steady at 70*F for the last 10 days. Took the cover off to check gravity and was punched in the face with an incredible sulphur/rotten egg smell. Is it normal for that smell to be there w/ this yeast? Will it...

I had a stange occurence Monday night- after my first AG batch. I converted from propane to heatsticks this winter. In my trial runs on the system, the JB weld stayed gray. After the brew session, while I was cleaning, I noticed the JB Weld that was in the wort changed color to a dark green...

Just a quick sanity check... I have a 50AMP breaker that was formerly used for a dryer. The outlet was fed by a 10Ga wire. During a renovation last year, we relocated the washer/dryer and cut that circuit. I have two 2K heatsticks that I would like to use in my basement brewery (in progress)...

Hi All- My first post, but I've been a lurker for a few months. I'm on my 5th batch (What Hoppened?-a verry hoppy IPA) and would lke to clarify it in the secondary. The SG is down to 1014 from 1060 (target of 1010-1012). I'm thinking about moving it to the secondary and adding gelatin to get it...
