    Hill Farmstead Everett stats

    Listed on their website http://www.hillfarmstead.com/ancestral-series/everett-porter.html This is listed as a 21°P and 7.5% ABV. Converting from Plato to SG this is 1.087. Finishing at 7.5% would make the final gravity 1.031. This seems really high. Maybe its the formulas used that are...

    Water Report Williston, VT

    I've been reading a lot about water and mash pH lately and want to see what others thought about my water report. From what I've learned so far my water seems pretty good. I could use some calcium and add minerals to boost the chloride or sulfate. Is the water good for pale colored...

    Uhhh anyone see this.... Pioneer Breaker

    So I work for the government, specifically ICE. I was checking the ICE homepage at work while I was bored and I see a picture of a contactor. It looked very similar to the ones I bought from Pioneer Breaker. So I clicked the link and start reading. It was from Pioneer Breaker!! Apparently...

    My electric toolbox

    Like many people, after seeing theelectricbrewery.com, I wanted to start the journey of collecting all the parts to build this beast. I ordered many parts but stopped. I still wanted go electric because brewing in the winter sucks and propane costs me a lot more. So I built a simple toolbox...

    Auberins RTD sensor, 2" probe, Weldless

    To make a long story short, I ordered the wrong RTD from Auberins. I was following the Electric Brewery instructions (so I thought) and ordered two of these instead of two of the NPT ones. So this has: PT100-L50M14 RTD Temperature Sensor Red Braided Sleeving Steel Reinforced Rope XLR...

    White Labs production date in future

    I always use Mr. Malty's Pitching Rate Calculator before I brew to make an appropriate starter. The viability of White Labs vials are based on the date 4 months prior to the best buy date. I just got three vials with May 6 2011 best buy dates. That puts the production date at 1/6/2011. Today...

    The cold sucks, going electric

    After brewing during a snowstorm, I've decided electric brewing in the comfort of my kitchen is the only way to brew during the winter. My main breaker panel now has a 40a GFCI breaker feeding the range receptacle in my kitchen. This is the start to my wiring diagram, hacked from...

    Range extension cord>outlet>inline gfi

    I brewed this Monday while it was snowing and windy and I really don't want to do that again. I've been looking into electrical brewing and would like to know if this would work. My range outlet in the kitchen is connected to a 40 amp breaker. But the outlet is a NEMA 14-50. I will not be...

    Electric diagram w/ RIMS

    I am in the process of making a RIMS based system with another element in the boil kettle to help with the boil. I will be using 120v until I get access someday to 240v. The RIMS element will be 1500w and the kettle element will be 2000w. I've researched electrical diagrams and have based...

    Holes in silicone tubing

    I'm trying to make a return port in my cooler for a RIMS and plan on using a section of silicone tubing w/ holes cut in it for an even distribution. I tried with a drill and a small bit but the tubing just closed back up after I took the bit out of the hole I just cut. What's the secret of...

    Rims toolbox question

    I'm in the process of making a toolbox with a pump in it and eventually will make a RIMS tube to attach to it. I will have a PID, SSR, 1500 watt element, and pump in the toolbox when complete. I'll be using 120 for my power. What gauge extension cord do I need to power the toolbox so I don't...

    Little Giant inlet question

    I just got my new 3 MD HC today and read the instructions which said not to use a different diameter pipe or hose on the inlet side, which is 3/4". I've seen numerous threads where people reduce the 3/4" to 1/2". Does this affect the pump in any way besides slowing the flow down? Is the only...
