Was performing water tests on my EBIAB control panel this afternoon but having an issue with the PID controller. It powers up fine and I am able to switch to manual mode without any issues. When I switch to PID mode my temperature readings are way too high. I have the input set to PT1 and my PID...

Need some advice troubleshooting an issue with my control panel. I performed a dry test just to verify all my switches were working correctly so plugged into my upstairs dryer outlet. Turned key, power light came on. Turned element switch....everything lit up as expected and tested the e-stop...

This is a followup to an earlier post I had regarding grounding the actual brew panel. I have a jumper between the door and the main panel and I have a ground connection going between the panel ground screw and the terminal blocks that my element and main power ground to. My question is in...

Completed wiring my new 30a eBIAB kit from EBS. Only remaining question that I had was if you need to attach a ground wire to the panel itself. There is a grounding screw on the door for my enclosure but the wiring guide made no mention of any connections to ground the panel so figured I's...

Been going over the wiring diagrams for my new 30a BIAB kit from Electric Brewing Supply and while I am able to follow most of this I am a bit confused on the wiring coming from the e-stop button. Specifically coming out of the NO circuit and coming out of the NC circuit. It appears that at...

Got the DIY kit from ebrewing supply for the 30a BIAB Control Panel. I did not go with the enclosure that it comes with as I had already purchased a biab enclosure from auberins. There were a few incompatibilities between the kit and my enclosure but I have exchanged out what I needed to and now...

Finally pulled the trigger and ordered the 30a BIAB kit from Electric brewing Supply. I didn't get the enclosure as I had already purchased a BIAB enclosure separately from Auberins. My question is for anyone with a PID based controller for eBIAB. How are you controlling the intensity of the...

Looking for feedback from anyone that may be using this controller. I have a BB 15 Gallon Kettle with 240/5500 element. I had considered also using the BB Controller but just can't justify the cost and was looking for a lower cost alternative. My only potential concern is the reliability of the...

I have (2) 5 gallon carboys that have been sitting for a year after being inoculated with Flemish Brett. Sampled both and tastes really good right now so getting ready to bottle these. I'll be using a dedicated bottling bucket, wand, tubing, etc for these but wondering if there is any concern...

A friend of mine has been giving me his empty 25oz bottles (left over Trillium) so I was looking forward to using these (less bottles to fill the better). Unfortunately my old trusty red wing capper doesn't work with these. If anyone is bottling in 25oz bottles be curious what you are using to...

Just wanted to ask those that roast their own coffee what blend they prefer to use in a nice coffee porter. I typically will use a medium roast coffee....but looking for other ideas.

Have an used Whiskey Barrel that I want to use as a table in my garage/brew space. The Barrel has been sitting in a musty basement for a bit now and has a gross white film on the outside. What is the best method for cleaning/treating the outside of the barrel to remove that nasty white film?

Was taking inventory this morning and have some specialty grains going on about 2 years now. These have all been used at some point and currently sealed in Ziploc bags. Not talking all that much......probably 6 different grains totaling 5lbs. My inclination is to toss these but wanted to see...

Question for anyone that's brewed with this yeast. What has your experience been with this? Reason I ask is that I have a standard DIPA recipe that I brew in 10 gallon batches. Our yeast of choice has been US-05 and works great.......beer finishes around 1.002 and no issues (great aromatic and...

Ordered one of those blowout hop packs from Yakima Valley and it came with 8oz of ADHA 484. The aroma profile looks interesting: cedar; woody; bubblegum; spice. Anyone have experience brewing with this variety and have recipe ideas? I was leaning towards a winter saison.

I have setup Raspberry pints for my home draft system....currently I'm just using this for displaying the 4 taps I have going but would like to incorporate flow meters so that I can keep better track of what's left in each (rather then doing the lift and guess method). I was pricing flow meters...

2 steps forward.....perhaps 1 step back. So as of this afternoon I have a 240V 30A outlet installed in the garage. That's the 2 steps forward as it gets me closer to building out the electric brew house. The 1 step back is that I now wish I had gone with a GFCI breaker. In any case I now have a...

I had my latest IPA sitting with 20psi for 48 hours and lowered the pressure to 12psi for the next 4-5 days. When lowering the pressure I had to purge out some C02 from the Corney's. Am I losing aromatic every time I need to purge from the keg? In my way of thinking by purging C02 I am just...

bumping to different forum

I'm finally having my electric work done next week in the garage so I can start building my 20 Gallon E-BIAB setup. As part of this need to upgrade my existing kettle. I've been looking at the 20 Gallon Brew-Boss kettle as that is configured exactly how I want and at a good price. Just wondering...
