So the SSR only has one hot output? So the other Hot output needs to be supplied by the other Hot bar. The PID has 1 hot and 1 neutral coming from the bars. The PID then as 1 hot and 1 neutral output to the SSR. Then the SSR has 1 hot and 1 neutral output. Is this correct? So the switch you have...

airbalancer, when you wire that box, could you post some pics? I think I am confusing myself now. I understand about the pump though. Will not try that. Was thinking for chilling applications. Pol, you have 240vac coming in to the box. You then have 2 hot buses, 1 neutral bus, and 1 ground...

This is great. I have been researching this over the past 2 weeks. Running to every hardware, electrician supply, and big box shops figuring this out. Between you and The Pol. Thanks. Anyway, the 24 vac switches you have are for 240vac? I am a little confused about that. Also, do you think...

I would say crush as fine as possible untill you get a stuck mash then take it back a little use a feeler gague to see what it is then move it back slow but I got my BC and bairley changed it and I get 85-87% on all of my brews even with a lot of adjuncts just a thought good luck Z

I concur its not a bad thing pressure and temp are the two main things to concider but David is spot on lower the temp of the pitching wort and also you could put the fermentor some place colder and see how that plays with the internal temp but controlling the pressure and temp will help you get...

Just remember that adding to much O2 can rewin your beer really you only want to add around 10 PPM to the wort and too much can kill you I have found that just splashing around the wort in your fermentor as a home brewer you already have a huge problem with O2 uptake so as little O2 as possible...

Take gravity samples every couple of days dont rack into secondary untill you like what the yeast have done for you this is your beer let the beer hit a terminal gravity (the point at wich the yeast have done all that they can or will) then move it into secondary or remove the yeast from the...

I have used that method and the ice does melt rather fast but if you keep it well stocked it works well I also have an idea to take apart a home AC unit and take the coolent (sp?) part of that and putting that in a tub o' H2O and keeping the set point on the AC unit at the coldast set point and...

Ya I do think that some break will be ok but as to cold break that will only come when the beer is brought to a temp under freezing and then in the filter it will be large enough to get filtered out but what i dont want is the verry bitter tannons that are left after boil to get into my...

Ya I do like to stir and I can get about all 11 gal. chilled in fifteen minutes but then my hot break is really bad and i like the idea of trying to keep all trub out of primary as possible so I guess I need to get a plate chiller and that would solve a lot of problems Thanks to all who helped...

So I all grain once a week and have done so for three months now. I really need to get a chiller that can chill faster than the five gal. 25ft. submirsion chiller that I have now but I just cant justify the money. So what I'm wondering is does anyone have any ideas to chill faster with the...

Brewing right now almost done with the boil just threw my last hops

the other thing to concider is that when you leave the hops in you can add to the tannin levels and increase the chance for off flavors in the final product but a dry hop addition in primary secondary or even turtiary (sp? sorry all) can make huge impacts on the flavor profile of your brew just...

Me and some of the boys out here in Colorado could do it I'm sure

in this industry you hear people that work in large and small places alike call themselves a glorified janitor. what we do is make a media that micro-orginisims would love to take over as a lets call it a, bacteria condo. they are happy, if we make it harder for them to get into the front door...

you could always look into dwarf varieties that only grow about six to ten feet and if put into a planter (say an old 15 gal. extract drum cut in half) you can move them to any location to get better sun or to keep them out of the elements as well i use the extract drums cut in half and keep...

Fort Collins brewrey in, well Fort Collins does a pom wheat that is ok. I think that the juice itself seems to have some off flavors that are hard to get rid say if you add it in the boil. I think making a base beer and then adding in your juice (concentrate or otherwise) in secondary before...

lets think Chuck Norris when it comes to a nice India triple that I like to make. Starts at 1075 and it really likes to sneak up on you. Talk about a round house to the face! what did the chuck say to the face: Wasted!

So I really want to brew with hibiscus petals but tried to do this once before and had no luck getting it to work as I had hopped. If any one has any suggestions that would rock :mug: Cheers Z
