Howdy, I've been working on compiling a Countertop Brutus for a while now and finally got all the parts assembled. I fired it up last night and everything was going great till it hit about 120 F and it tripped the breakers. Things to consider: 5500 W - 240V coil 30 AMP GFCI Breaker...

The 2012 Deer Season (gun) is almost upon me here in Central New York! Buck fever has already struck many of my friends who bow hunt, but I have too many expensive hobbies (motorcycles, homebrew, etc.) to afford the extra weekends away from my wife. Any who, one of my favorite aspects of...

I didn't know where to post this so I stuck it in the DIY 'cause its always a good bet... My kegorator stopped being/getting cold. It worked up until a few days ago and I figured it was the thermostat, so I turned it "up" to cooler. On my lunch break today I noticed that the fan that...

I usually brew at a friends house or when the fiance is not home. Last night I brewed my pale ale with her on the couch in the other room. We live in a 1200 sq ft house, so you can't get away from the smell easily. She couldn't stand it! Especially when I added the hops. I personally think...
