I am building a single tier, 2 vessel electric brewery. I am using an Auber 2352, and an RTD temp probes. I would like to use two probes, 1 in the HLT/BK, and another in the MLT. I would only be using 1 probe at a time. I would like to use 1 PID. Is there a switch available that I could use...

I am building a new E-rig, thanks to all the threads on this forum. I have been reading through lot's of the threads, but I have a question for the more savvy electric brewers on the forum. I am renting an older home, built in the 80's I believe. I am not going to modify any existing...

I used whirlfloc and pellet hops for the first time, and when I poured my wort into my funnel strainer it would clog right away and I was unable to get all my wort out. Was the really fine sludge due to the pellet hops, or the whirlfloc? Also, if I use whirfloc, does it really only work if you...

I am using a carboy cap in my 6.5 gallon carboy as a primary. The airlock stopped bublying after 2 days of aggressive fermentation. When I twist the cap a little, the airlock bubbles for a while. I am thinking there might be a leak around the cap. Does anyone else use a carboy cap during...

Hi, I am making an American Pale Ale, and I was wondering how many ounces of Cascade I should dry hop with? Originally I was going to go with 2 ounces, but after reading through some recipes, it seems this might actually push the hopiness more towards the IPA scale. Here is the recipe: 5...

We take all this care the whole time after fermentation to ensure beer is not in contact with oxygen, but then we put it in a bottling bucket with the top exposed to a bunch of air. Is the surface beer that comes in contact with oxygen in a bucket insignificant? Does anyone else have a method...
