I know this is an old thread, but anyone tried the recipe?

Thanks!

What's Bobby's website???

I should have put "cheap" between brackets since ti's not that cheap ;-)

I went on the cheap side of an electric set up (as compared to the electricbrewery.com). I installed a 240V dryer outlet (30A), and I built a control panel with an Auber SSR manual control, and a single SSR. I didn't want to bother with a PID and the rtd it requires. I figured that since I used...

Can-Am, that's why I converted to an electric set up! This winter has been so brutal, I brewed only once!

I just brewed for the first time electric today! I added water at 180F (4.5 gal) in my MT, waited 10 min and it droped only to 175F. So I had to add cold water to get it where it needed to (164F). Next time, I'll preheat the water at ~169F and it should be pretty close to where I want it to be...

Here is mine. I used a Hammond aluminum box for my weldless set up. I used JB Weld to "solder" the element in the box.

Thanks Natdavis777, I transfer by gravity (for now) so that gives me an idea. I will shoot for ~180F and will add water after 10 min if needed to reach striking temp.

Guys, I've search the forum without luck for this question. I've just converted to 100% electric and my mash tun is a converted keg. I used to preheat the mash water in the MT on a propane burner. However, I will now use an electric HT. I am therefore wondering what should be my water...

Well, it took a while for someone to answer my original question lol! Thanks for the info. FYI, I went with a Victoria and couldn't be happier. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Guys, I found this recipe long time ago for the White House Honey Ale. Does it sound right? Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Foil! Aluminum foil has been my saviour so many times why I didn't of it for my mash keggle? Thanks for the trick! Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

It doesn't trully answer your question but I personnally insulate my mash keg with a foam mattress I got at Wal-Mart in the camping dep. the foam doesn't absorb water and can be easily cut for all the things that need to go through (valve, therm, etc.). Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Lol, I hope you didn't use your wife's jeans for that! Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

I soldered 2 couplings. The first one was a success, the second one was another story. The tin was leaking at one precise spot around the coupling and this created a pin hole. Next time, I will visually inspect all around the coupling and hammer it if there is a void.... The third time I heated...

I decided to go that route too but couldn't find a reducer locally. So I found this steel hose barb at the hardware store. I simply cut the barbs away and used my large socket. Here is the result! Tomorrow I will be soldering this all together! Thanks for this nice thread! I just wish I haven't...

Mill a few lbs, then uncouple the mill and let it rotate without load to cool down. I do that every couple lbs and it has been fine so far

Gambrinus malting ESB 2 row....

Personnally, I wouldn't recommend this sinceI found a little rock mixed with my grain lately. Allowing the plate to wobble a bit allows also little rocks to go through without damaging tne plate I guess.....
