    Ha! We might have a corruption problem here, but I don't think they'd sell out for that little. ;)

    110v Recirculating eBIAB 2.5 gallon batches

    I don't have a greatbreweh but I have a similar pump. Mine is directly connected to the kettle.(check my sig). Priming seems to be an issue with these pumps. I would try first lowering the pump so it's a little lower than the outlet of the kettle in the begining. In the video it's sitting on...

    Steppping stone between BIAB and a 5500 watt eBIAB setup

    I would suspect the 3000 watts would be enough to boil 7 gallons. I know I've read some people have luck with 2000 watts being able to boil 7 gallons. I'm guessing there are some other factors involved like kettle dimensions. Personally I've tried using one 2000 watt element and it was not...

    What do you put your ekettles on?

    I wouldn't trust it to hold the weight. I could probably bend it in half just using my hands. It works great if you are setting it on a counter top though.

    What do you put your ekettles on?

    I was walking through Ikea and noticed this. It fits perfectly under my 44qt Bayou Kettle. Stainless and only 7 bucks. http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/30111087/

    Big fail tonight....

    Not sure its the case here, but I always had trouble boiling with just a 2000w element using a large diameter pot, when i switched to a smaller diameter I could achieve a weak boil. Ultimately I went with 2 x 2000w elements

    120v setup using stove as supplement

    I would tend to disagree on the only needing a 2000w element. I think there are a few variables that might come into play. What volume are you boiling and your pot diameter being the two biggest factors. In my experience I was unable to get 7 gallons to come to a boil using a one 2000w...

    120v setup using stove as supplement

    I think it depends on how much you want to invest. You could pretty easily go tphjr route with minimal investment, or you could build a full on electric kettle. Which you could then add in the HERMS coil. While neither of these are HERMS systems. I would think they would get you the...

    120v setup using stove as supplement

    Is it a gas or electric stove you're using? there are a few examples of people using an electric stove in combination with an electric brew kettle. Some have even unplugged their stove to use 240v. If it's gas I would be very careful. The heat that would come up the sides of the pot put some...

    Dual 2000W 120V Recirculating eBIAB Build

    Russki, I was getting ready to add a sight glass to my rig, but can't decide if the eye bolt that holds the top of it will get in the way of the basket. It looks as if you were able to get the basket in past the bolt on some of your pictures. Does it get in the way at all? There really...

    Neutrik PowerCon Connectors

    I use generic versions of them in my setup. They're very nice. I like the way they twist lock so much better than the regular speakon connectors. Alien got it perfectly the blue goes to the blue and grey to the grey. This page shows a good diagram of the difference, it's basically impossible...

    Switchcraft's plug and outlet option

    I bought my Powercon's off Ebay. It looks like the seller took the auction down but if you message them perhaps they could help you out. They are generic versions, but they're also a steal if you order a bunch. I got 7 sets for right around 30 bucks http://www.ebay.com/itm/370641946200...

    Dual 120v 2000w recirculating EBIAB Build

    So I got a new toy in the mail today. I've been wanting to get a removable whirlpool arm similar to this. My dilemma was I don't own a torch or anything else that could sweat the copper fittings together. So before buying a torch I was curious how much it would cost to fabricate one out of...

    Dual 120v 2000w recirculating EBIAB Build

    Nice. Good Luck. Be sure to check out Russki's build as well. We both built ours right about the same time. They're basically the same with some slight differences. I also linked some other helpful builds a few posts ago.

    Dual 120v 2000w recirculating EBIAB Build

    Yes. I originally wasn't sure if I was going to place it in a T on by the ball valve so I went with the 1/2 NPT RTD. I ended up mounting it directly. You almost got it right, I also have a silicone wash in between the SS washer and the kettle wall. Leaked at first as I over tightened it...

    Cheap Pump Wiring Question

    I actually use a similar pump and power supply that you have listed. I just use a regular outlet on my panel. I tried finding the locking outlets on ebrew supply but couldn't find them, can you post a picture? I'm assuming you would have to somehow create an adapter that would allow the...
