Can anyone point me to a calculation that defines the heat density rating of an unrated heating element? I am guessing you need to know the wattage and the overall length of the element. Any other variables? Thanks!

There have been many brewing panel designs shared here over the years. I have been amazed by the fantastic engineering and construction talent of some of the members. I have always been a little embarrassed that I never bothered to document my panel over the years with anything other than a...

I haven't bought any Bass ale for a while, but picked some up recently. Reading the label, I see the domestic stuff is brewed in New Hampshire now. It was tasty, but different than I remembered from before. Does anyone know how long they have been making it over here?

I would like to find a dedicated lid for my HLT keggle. Currently using a lid off a 12" stock pot I have, but would like to find a dedicated lid without having to buy a complete stock pot. Anyone found a good source for replacement lids to fit a 11 1/2 inch opening?

I see quite a few panel builds here using aluminum finned heat sinks for the SSRs. How many folks are using the the metal surface of their panel enclosure or sub-panel as the heat sink for their SSR's? I mounted two SSRs on the 8" x 10"x 1/8" steel sub-panel in my controller. No issues with...

Can someone please explain the basics of recirculation with BIAB RIMS setup? I am already familiar with conventional recirculation in a RIMS with MLT that contains the grain bed. I am also familiar with the basics of conventional BIAB. With BIAB and RIMS, how does the bag and the grain...

I found this Cornelius Miracle Lever Control Faucet at the antique mall tonight. It appears to be unused and includes the shank. It looks like its all there. I am really tempted to test it out and install it in my bar as a working unit. Even if it won't hold pressure I think it would make a...

I wanted to add one of Bobby's stainless steel element enclosures to my RIMS tube so I disassembled it after 5 years of continuous use. It has had probably 60 batches through the tube, and have never had it apart. Aside from some corrosion on the element threads, I was surprised how clean the...

So I am crushing my grain with a corona mill, and I know what happens when the occasional pebble or stone get forced into the mill plates. How do motorized roller style mills handle a hard foreign object like a pebble? This would seem to be a damaging situation.

I have been using this keggle as my HLT for the last several years, but with propane as my heat source. This year I decided to make the transition to electric kettles, and decided to begin by converting this one to electric operation. The element is a 5500 watt 240 volt spa element and...

Has anyone constructed a removable immersion heater using a spa or water-heater elements? I'm talking about something larger than the little bucket heaters I think I have one worked out that will use a 5500 watt element, and will be suspended in my BK while in use, but then can be easily...

Well it's only sorta brewing related... But definitely DIY... My dog, Chip, lives outdoors full-time, so I like to keep her comfy. This dog bed/hammock is really simple to make, just 2x4 treated lumber, fabric and screws. We have gone through a few of the fabric covers over the years. Used...

Has anyone considered using a Myers-hub conduit fitting as a weld-less kettle fitting? I was considering how this might work for installing an water heater element in a kettle, and thought someone may have experimented with these before. They use a captive O-ring gasket, are available is...

I brewed an AG Czech Pils yesterday and was greeted by this lovely sight at 6:00 this morning. Just does your heart good to see yeast at work...

Does anyone know if the yeast sediment in the bottle is the same strain that this beer is fermented with? I have heard that some wheat beers will be bottle conditioned with a lager strain. Was interested in harvesting some yeast from the bottle and propagating it for my own wheat beer recipe...
