    50A spa panel on 30A circuit - Single 5500W element

    Dirt cheap is right, too. Buddy never turned his hot tub project into a reality and a six pack easily got me the spa panel. The romex was left over from running a 30A line to a buddy's garage. My family owns a small hardware store so a lot of the stuff I need, I can get at cost. 😁

    50A spa panel on 30A circuit - Single 5500W element

    Thanks guys. I probably should of done some more reading on here. I did not realize how many people run this setup. I just wasn't sure if the breaker had to match the Spa panel rating. Just want to make sure that the GFI properties will not be compromised. I will be running this myself (I...

    50A spa panel on 30A circuit - Single 5500W element

    I am in the middle of building my eBIAB basement brewery and am now ready to run electrical circuit. Long story short I have been gifted a brand new 50A spa panel. I will only be using one 5500 watt element, exhaust fan, and a chugger pump off of this circuit. My question here is should I...

    BIAB/HERMS rig questions

    I know it is a weird conflicting idea. I brew outside in the Michigan winters and I want a way to consistently maintain mash temps. When I say cheap, I mean I don't want to have to buy more/larger kettles for larger batches or a second pump for a single tier system. When I seen a system for a...

    BIAB/HERMS rig questions

    So I am in the beginning stages of designing a new brew setup. I want to keep this fairly low cost since I am a broke college student. I want a system that can fulfill the following requirements: 1. Utilize the equipment I have already. Keggle, smallish (16 qt) stainless pot, 50 ft 3/8"...

    Using Cheesecloth to filter

    I just used a paint strainer bag from Lowes in my bottling bucket for my coconut porter. Sanitize and be gentle removing it from your beer when your finished. Worked like a charm, no oxidation problems. Beer turned out fantastic

    $4.87 keg tool

    Caligula, how hard was this to draw through the side wall of your pot? I tried this yesterday on my keggle and ended up crushing the end washers and bending the bolt before the copper fitting would draw through. The copper fitting actually started to crush on the 3/4" end I was wrenching on.

    You probably have a 1/2" x 3/4" street coupling. Those fittings are used to sweat into 3/4" fittings as opposed to over 3/4" copper pipe. The regular 1/2" x 3/4" coupling should measure just under 1" on the 3/4" side
