Costco Apple Juice, brought up to 1.080 and aged six months in primary (oops!) Tastes DELICIOUS! 21038 + 20 = 21058

I picked up a 60s-era commercial kegerator today for $100. Silly me, I didn't bring a tape measure. I figured that the regulator and co2 tank was worth that to me alone, so I snagged it. Unfortunately, the inner chest is exactly 23" high. I was hoping to use pin lock corneys anyway, but this...

It seems to me that if I would have just sat down and thought about it when I started, I could get away with brewing 4-gallon batches for a much cheaper initial investment than I made buying all that specialized 5-gallon stuff. Home Depot 5-gal bucket @$2.50 > 6-gal Better Bottle @$26.00. Well...

Heh, this is the guy who KEEPS you from getting sued...if he does a good enough job! :)

Thanks Walker. The solder I had was a little thick for the Radio Shack breadboard, and I had to clean up a few pins. I might desolder the whole thing and start over again. I tested voltage at the SSR and found it was only reading 3-4V while the output at the PID was at least 12. Must be a...

Walker, I built the circuit according to your diagram above, and after correcting a few botched solders, I managed to get it to work. Thing is, it doesn't seem to provide a duty cycle of less than about 50%; below this it switches off completely. I am using two power supplies: a PID...

Photo, I already have a PID and SSR for this setup that will be powered by a separate 120v circuit. I see no reason at this time to hardwire the PID to run from the dryer circuit, as an existing 120v circuit is available. It's neither pretty nor elegant, but at this point I am concerned...

I think I'm going to pull the trigger on the HD spa box for my setup. One question, if anyone knows: if I only plan to run my element and nothing else on 240 for the time being, is it possible to simply cap off the neutral on the plug cord and run separate redundant hard-wired grounds from the...

Hello all! I am in the process of converting my keggle to electric right now using a 4500w/240v element. The mounting is all done, so now I'm taking some special time to protect the circuit. I plan to run my keggle on the 240v/30a dryer circuit, and I need GFCI protection. The plug is...

I just checked my local water supply report since I just moved and forgot that there's chlorine in the water. Oops! If I have: Chloroform (ug/l) 6.50 By-product of drinking water chlorination Bromodichloromethane (ug/l) 5.90 By-product of drinking water chlorination Dibromochloromethane...
