I have a Love 16C-3 (relay output) and a Honeywell S87B. I thought I was getting the right SSR but I can not get it to work. When I bridge the input connections on the SSR the burner fires up perfectly so I am guessing it is just the SSR. Can someone throw me a bone here? Thanks.

I am selling my 3 tier brewing frame. Built it about 7 years ago and based it off Morebeer.com's brew tree. I believe they sold theirs at $900 for the frame alone but I believe the discontinued it because it is not on their website now. In addition to theirs I have full locking castors, and a...

Anyone else get the casters for their Fermenator? Mine just came in and I am so pleased that I coughed up the cash for them. It is nice to be able to maneuver the fermenter now.

Does anyone have a brew partner that they can not rely on to keep the brew process running smoothly? I took a friend on board this year and boil overs, overshot temps, etc. He is a good friend but man! I was ramping up from 122 to 150 and left him in charge of turning off the burner. Temp...

Well I did yesterday. Thankfully it was just a plain American ale and not one of my specialty beers. Went to quick carb it for 24 hours and accidently left the beer out jumper on from tasting it and it blew the hose off the barb. Emptied the keg and my CO2 tank while I was at a friend's...

I just tapped a pale ale and there is a faint iced tea flavor to it. I actually like this as it is my yard work beer but I am curious as to what might be the cause.

Is it just that the ABV is above it's style range? An American wheat has a style rance of 4.0-7.0. I have a batch that should come out 7.2-7.5. I bought a little extra malt and decided to kick it up a little when brewing. I would like to be correct with it's style when sipping down with...

O.k., so what do you guys think about this: I would like to use an old 25' x 1/4" immersion chiller and a 1 gallon cooler to chill my hose water prior to entering the CFC. Now could I put this coil in the cooler with disconnects, fill the cooler with cheap vodka, seal it off with...

Does anyone, in addition to figuring out their amount of water per pound of grain, add a set amount of water to compensate for their FB when calculating their mash? Seems logical in a sense... I use about 1.5 to 1.6 depending on if I need to add to hit my temp and obviously when I have a...

I would like to use up my strawberries from my garden on a strawberry blonde. How many do I need for a 10 gallon batch? I have about 4lbs now and should get another 4 before the plants are exhausted for the summer. Also, should I put them in cut up or as a puree? Should I put them in at...

If you use quick disconnects the black plastic tap pugs work great to cover the male connection. I have my rig in the garage and now do not have to worry about bugs getting inside. I think they are only $2 a piece too.

Alright I just have to list my 3 favorite rigs on here. Mine are in no specific order. 1.) Lehr's stainless two tier 2.) Seabee John's level 1 3.) Pol's electric two tier Please chime in with your picks...

Anyone know how to figure out how cans of LME are hopped? I would like to convert a partial to all grain and there is are two 3.3lbs cans of Muntons and Fisons hopped old ale in the original recipe.

I know I have read it on here before but can't find the thread. How long can you keep yeast in your fridge? I know that any longer than 2 weeks, you must make a starter but I forget how long it is good with making a starter. 2 months? 3 months? 6 months?

Anyone interested in teaming up for a 10 gallon batch up in Mentor? I would like to make an IPA but would make whatever if someone has a different interest.

After having 1 part backordered for 10 weeks I finally received it in the mail earlier this week and got to use my new O2 setup. Here is a pic of it just before hooking up the O2 tank and the H2O. What a comforting feeling having almost no exposure to the wort while infusing O2 and...

I have 10 gallons in my Blichman and noticed today that the the part of the bottom dump that goes up into the fermenter is loose. I obviously forgot to tighten it prior to filling. It must just be hand tight and it doesn't leak except for when I was about to drain some settlement after day 1...

In case anyone needs one...
