Please elaborate further!!

What is this cupcake you speak of?!

you need to post some pics of what you got going on here!!

I'll take the element!!

I have one of these that I accidentally ordered. Already have 2 in use and they are great http://www.bargainfittings.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=46_69&product_id=116

I do wonder how much it would affect efficiency of this process if you mounted say a 1/2" nipple to the lid then ran 1/2" hose to a tee similar to the OP. I would think you would want to make sure that all of this would be mounted above the top of the lid as the steam will naturally want to rise

I think your plastic wrap made a better seal than a lid would, at least in my case because I am using a keggle. An actual pot may have a better seal, I just do not have experience with that haha. I feel better hearing that you were able to see the vacuum! I will do some testing as well once...

I was trying to accomplish both of these yesterday during my investigation process! PVC isn't rated for steam temps unfortunately. You could def do it through the lid, just will take a decent amount more piping, which you are basically limited to stainless

I probably am overthinking things... I guess I wasn't worried about losing steam through the lid as much as I was worried about a loose lid being a vacuum breaker. I feel that if it was sealed air tight, then the vacuum through the condenser would be much stronger? Either way I am going to...

I too wonder if the fogging nozzle will work better? Also, I feel that the DMS issue may not be a huge deal IF you can truly create a vacuum. I guess personally I do not brew lagers so the DMS does not worry me as much, but I still want to exhaust nearly as much steam as you would during a...

Hi Mel! Welcome ! I also am from ND, where you at?

I had the same thing happen. I emailed brad at BS and he was super helpful in getting me a key so I could get up and running again! I just emailed him and explained what happened.

I imagine he is talking about adding a better controller than the simple knob one on the element. That simple knob part doesn't get immersed tho. You would plug that into a controller which would have a temp probe in the pot. I have no experience with this, but it looks like a more legitimate...

Bump!

I feel like most of southern tier beers have that quality. Specially their 2X beers. Maybe check out their website, some breweries will list their ingredients online

Woot!

I've never had this, but knoephla soup is a staple around here (North Dakota) in the winter. I may need to make some of this looks great!!

I took a PJ diagram and stripped it down pretty well. Got rid of the e stop and key switch. Which also allows you to have less contactors/relays. Don't regret that a bit. I have an amp volt meter in mine. Pretty useless, but I had one from a purchase here so I threw it on. If I didn't have the...
