    Yuba City Brewers

    I've posted on here before trying to find local home brewers in Yuba City. Awesome to see there is a club forming. I live in Yuba City, but I'm currently in a Davis brew club (greenbelt brewers), and a certified bjcp judge. I'm certainly interested in meeting some other brewers in the area...

    K type vs rtd

    Type K thermocouples will work just fine. They have a temperature range that is way beyond what's needed for brewing, so to ensure the best accuracy, make sure you do your calibrations at the temps that you will want to be sensing. For example, calibrate at 150 degree F if you are calibrating...

    Relays vs. SSR's
