    240v to 120v switch

    I have a 240v control panel currently wired, but I want to be able to run the element at 120v (1/4 power) for rims. I'm told that a spdt switch would work, but would a 120v 30a spdt switch be what I'm looking for?? I would only be controlling one of the hots that go to the element outlet, but...

    eBay pump food grade?

    I bought two eBay pumps a few weeks back, the ad stated that yes they were food grade. Now that I have the pumps I have the model, ZC-T40, and I can't find anything online stating that it either is or is not food grade. The pumps work very well at moving water in testing, but I don't want to...

    Electric question

    The previous owner of my house ran an office out of the basement and had used a tandem breaker to provide two-20amp/120v outlets for laser printers. These were run using a 3-wire plus ground wire to a 4 outlet box, with the two outlets on each side belonging to it's own 20a circuit. I know the...

    Contactor to switch dryer outlet line?

    Has anyone used a DPDT contactor to switch a 30a dryer line/feed to a separate 220 outlet for brewing?? My thought is that a small electrical box with a DPDT contactor (maybe connected to a power on switch like the key at theelectricbrewery) could switch whether my dryer is getting power or my...

    Carbonation Function

    So I keep reading that carbonation levels are a function of temperature, pressure, and time. Every chart I see illustrates the limit of carbonation levels for a given pressure/temperature, assuming you give it time to equalize... My question is either 1) where can I find a chart that shows...

    Hop debris in Keg, would gelatin help?

    Hi all, I have an IIPA that I made a few months back, I cold crashed in in the secondary after dry hopping for 2 weeks and then racked to a keg and it's been sitting in my keezer for about 3 weeks. I've pulled maybe 7-8 pints off the keg so far, with all of them being pretty cloudy with visible...

    "D" Pump tap for use in keezer?

    Hi all, Stupid question I am sure, but I have an old pump style keg tap from college, would I be able to pull the pump and the cobra head off the "D" type connector and then connect the "D" connector to a CO2 line in my keezer and a beer line to my tap?? I'm sure I'll have to clean it...

    Kegging Calculations

    Hi all, This is my first time kegging and I want to make sure i'm doing my line length and serving pressure calculations correctly, and i'm accounting for altitude if needed (as i live around 5500ft). I understand how to determine my carbonating pressure to achieve a specific CO2/volume...
