    Reliable vendor for hops plants?

    You might also try www.yakimavalleyhops.com. I’ve had good experiences with them. But they sell rhizomes. Depending on where you live and when you planted your rhizomes and how long they sat before you put them in the ground, they may still be good. Keep them moist until you’re sure they’re...

    Experiences with pellet smokers?

    I’ve had my Traeger for a couple years and I love it. While I’ve had a few minor issues with it, Traeger customer service stepped up to help fix them. I have seared a steak on it because it doesn’t get above about 400 degrees, but there is a hot spot on it that can handle a good sear. I don’t...

    List of PJ Electrical Diagrams

    Hi, P-J. I never saw your response to this query. I know that you're inundated with others' requests, and I am in awe that you do all of this out of the goodness of your heart. Would you mind taking a few more minutes and please send me what you can on this? I sent you the answer to the...

    List of PJ Electrical Diagrams

    Thanks, PJ. Yes, I'm thinking that the Auber SYL 2352 as you usually suggest or 62, not sure what the difference is, really. I've purchased the Electric Brewing supply switches XB2-BD21 simple on-off switches and AD-22 -22DS LED's in various colors (greens for pumps, Red for main on/off, blue...

    List of PJ Electrical Diagrams

    PJ, your contribution to this site and to the electrically and electronically challenged among us is immeasurable. Thanks so much for all you've given. I am a propane brewer and in the throes of completing my brutus 10 isn setup and the electrical control box is last up. Have you done a...

    Fridge vs. Chest Freezer for Fermentation?

    Thanks for the tip, fuzzewuzze. I just set up an alert for a standup freezer and there is one close by for $50. I hope to get it. I'm anxious to be able to lager and do pilsners to appease my non-IPA lovin' wife.

    Control Panel Build/ Rig upgrade

    Great thread, de3isit. P-J is a rock star, no? I'm not far from you in Encinitas and would love to check out your system some time. I built my own version and tried it out this weekend. I had issues with my gas burners. Still on Hi-pressure LP as I'm not ready to go all auto just yet...

    it's finally time: building a keezer (questions)

    Costco is selling their manual defrost model by Haier for $175 if you have access to one near you. I was thinking of doing the same and that size seems good. And yes, external temp controls will be needed. They're not too pricey, though. I don't have the specifics as I've looked at a ton of...

    My new brew system, a brutus 10 with some nice modifications

    Hi, j Awesome build project. I'm doing one, too but not quite so fancy. Although your design has given me pause to reconsider and maybe add the storage component to the build. I love that. What casters did you use and how did you affix them? Thx

    My Weldless Build Using Strut

    Thanks Gifty. I got it. My BK is about 20" in diameter and my HLT and MT are both keggles. I think that seeing all those guys using NG and talking about jets got me to thinking that the logic behind a banjo (more burners, high pressure, larger FF and cheaper got me to thinking I was making...

    My Weldless Build Using Strut

    Gifty - you switched from jet to banjo style burner. Were you tired of wearing noise canceling headphones when brewing or is there another reason you switched to banjo (i.e. efficiency, speed to temp, ease or controllability? I'm curious as I'm ready to buy my burners. Also, you use NG. Any...

    Banjo-style or jet-burner style?

    Thanks for the feedback, guys. The efficiency thing is important with the cost of propane these days. I'll be using keggles for the HLT and MT, but the BK is a 15 gallon kettle with a flat bottom and I'll be using a stand. The noise issue is a bit of a pain, but for the time it takes to heat...

    Banjo-style or jet-burner style?

    Thanks, 369B. I have a single burner (SQ14) that I have been using that is also banjo-style and it's worked just fine, but since I'm going to larger batches and am going to build the stand, I will need to get some more stuff. I just saw a lot of guys talking about their jet systems on another...

    My Weldless Build Using Strut

    Hi, fellow thread followers. This is an awesome thread with so much great information. I plan to start a build soon. I started a new thread, but thought I'd post here because I am through nearly the whole thing and haven't seen any discussion on choosing a burner style - not a delivery...

    Banjo-style or jet-burner style?

    I'm getting ready to start my brew-stand (single tier, three spot) and haven't been able to figure out which burner is best for a propane heated setup. I see lots of discussion about the jets for NG and some for LP, but anyone have thoughts as to which are best for cost/performance? I can't...
