I bought 2 units about 2yr ago. One failed within only a dozen batches, error code 03. At the beginning the error was not permanent, it would go away after a short pause. Then the error came more and more often and now it just errors out as soon as I turn it on. The other unit had no issue...

Seems unanimous, I Will replace with 30amps switch... Unfortunately they are not that readily available up there in canada.. Amazon.ca seems to have one for 35$ .. Ughh

I have a very simple setup for my HLT : 20 amps, 12 awg circuit with 20 amps GFCI breaker 4500w water heater element installed in kettle In-line DPST "light switch" like this one : 2 Pole Switch 20 Amp 120/277v...

As IslandLizard, I've seen a white-beige gooey ring after the boil.. I would not consider is scorching though. I have used mine only 3 times, with barley malt only.

interesting! Thanks for sharing

Does anyone have problem with condensation with these fans? I am using a ventech 4" inline fan, rated at 190 cfm. Condensation is forming inside the fan and accumulating in the duct.. I could better design my duct so it flows outside but I don't think the vapor is supposed to condense that...

Bayou classic 1064.. I think it is

Just did my first batch on mine! Love it! Avantco IC3500 boil with 13 gallons of wort: http://youtu.be/qq91-UdJCac

did you ever manage to buy this thing? If so, are you happy with it? I am in Montreal too, I am thinking of having it shipped to freeport forwarding and to go get it myself, along with a properly sized gfci breaker, it is about half the price in the states.

Are you serious? This sounds worst than prison hooch.. Of course you will feel bad drinking this.. What did you expect? Sent from my Nexus 4 using Home Brew mobile app

There are few people doing that kind of things so I had trouble finding guidance.. But like you, I felt like innoculating with a few gallons of mature sour beer would give it a boost. Plus I already had some old sour and that meant a couple gallons less beer to brew.. To be honest I did not...

Just thought I'd share some barrel porn. Photo album I acquired a used barrel from a local winery 2 months ago. It was used for red wine and still in good condition. Interior smelled of sweet port wine. I started brewing base lambic beers on my 10 gallons system every week-end or so...

It is very difficult to identify hops from the look, but Cascades are usually long and skinny cones.. These don't look like cascades... Anyways, if they smell good use 'em!

I had some male flowers too on my second year Zeus.. Apparently Zeus is not genetically the same as Columbus, but I guess they really are closely related as it has the hermi tendency too.. Glad to know it is common with that variety and not just my growing conditions that are wrong. I...

I did it in 3 harvest, as some cones were getting more sunlight and were very ripe before the others.. Also I don't have the drying capacity (window screen real estate) and the free time to harvest all at once, so I am doing it over a couple of week-ends and some week nights..

2013 harvest was the best so far and I am not even done yet: 2nd year Goldings: 2 oz 3rd year Cascades: 52 oz (!) 2nd year Centennial: 3.5 oz 2nd year Mt Hood: 20 oz And I still have more Centennial, Zeus and Chinook to harvest.. 747.17

Broke 3 in nearly 9 years of brewing.. Not to bad I guess! 952

How would you compare the Conan to the 090?

What is up with the white on white text of the original post?

I love my Maris Otter. It adds a nice depth of character to british pale ales. It occurred to me though that I have never actually heard of any british brewery actually using it. They always use some standard british pale ale malt, rarely will they list the cultivar, and if they know the...
