So, Penguin Chillers was very receptive to my inquiry. I talked to CS on the phone and they troubleshot a bad controller via symptoms. They gave me the option of sending the unit back to the factory at my cost or replacing the controller myself (part of the 1 year warranty, free part and free...

Thanks for the help.... I bought the unit in April 2019.

I have looked around the unit....nothing. I do not want to dissemble it because it is still under warranty.

...the green light is on when I plug it into either outlet.

No lighting on the temp control unit. There are other working things plugged into the same outlet and I tried plugging the chiller into another good outlet. I tried the reset button, there is a green light on the plug itself, just no lights on the temp control panel.

Penguin chiller owners, I have the 1/3 hp penguin chiller. It was maintaining 62’F in a 7 gal SS Brewtech fermenter. The ambient air in the garage is 82’F. The chiller stopped running. It is plugged in, it is getting good power, it is just not lighting up. Any tricks? Circuit breakers...

Looks perfect. Probably has 10 more days before fermentation is done.

The APA and IPA recipes were the same, same OG and FG.

DM-messing with you. I don’t think the hops were bad. If I left them out of cold storage and exposed to oxygen, then I would agree with you. Yes, I incorrectly stated no hop flavor/aroma in my original and unedited post. But, the situation is more greatly diminished hop flavor and somewhat...

DM, I might be dumb but I am not stupid. The hops for the IPA were only left out for a week...I edited a sentence in the original post for clarity. OG, nice response. Put another way, I understand no relationship between BG/GU and hop flavor/aroma for planning a recipe. But, does bitterness...

Hop lovers, I have a question that I have been trying to solve with non-scientific experimentation. No conclusive results... Does the BU/GU ratio affect perceived hop aroma/flavor? I have made multiple pale ales (pure Vienna malt) with great success and a BU/GU ratio of .48. For these...

Where did you get the cartridge heater? So far, I have only found one (specifically for brewing) here. But it has sketchy pictures. http://www.design2brew.com/cartridge-heater-1500-watt/ Are your wire connections similar to the link above or did you have to make them like other heater...

Stacy, I am researching building my own RIMS. Just curious, why did you choose a cartridge heater over a standard heating element? J

How did this turn out? I am thinking of using pecan wood for a brown ale that is currently fermenting. Jayme

...I swear I am not stupid... Make a milk stout, then remember that you are lactose intolerant the next morning. Don't do that.

Eat a handful of those grains on Monday. Don't do that.

Did the drop show that your conversion was complete?

Y. Start with lower pressure and turn it up to your serving pressure. Otherwise, you will have to purge again.
