Looking for some advice. I'm moving to a new house and should be in by the end of June. I have some well established plants that I'd like to cut back now and hope I can transplant them when I make the move. Anyone have any tips, advice, warnings, etc on how I should proceed? Thanks!

Below is a schematic I put together showing the plumbing and valves for my system. Not sure I'm going to go this route and I'm looking for input. This basically automates all of the fluid movement from heating the water to filling the fermenter. I've looked at this for hours upon hours trying to...

I bought my BCS460 a couple of years ago and have never used it to do anything other than monitor some temps while checking it out. I have the most current firmware on it and it works just fine. I'm selling it because I'm buying a BCS462. I love this thing and I'm sure it'll work great for...

I'm probably not understanding how these relays are supposed to work so forgive me in advance. See the picture below. I'm just testing mode and trying to figure out if I can use this with my BCS-460 to control my freezer for fermentation. I'm under the assumption that when the relay board gets...

I got my 2 for 1 subscription renewal for BYO. I'm looking to split it with someone. It's $16.50 (half of $33). -----SOLD!!!

I've got a 4 year old converted GE freezer. Went to the garage yesterday and my temp sensor showed it was way high. The compressor was running but not getting cold. Anyone know if it's worth while to have this thing checked out? Paid $170 brand new so I don't necessarily want to put a whole...

I'm really having a hard time getting my head around how this contactor thing works. I'm in the process of wiring up a system that will use 2 - 5500W heating elements with 2 pumps. It'll be HERMS based. In the picture below I can't see how the heating element wouldn't have 120V going through it...

I just read this article and thought it'd be nice to share with the forums. Nice to see some local (Michigan) folks getting involved in the growing/harvesting of hops. Hop of faith: More and more entrepreneurs, farmers growing the plant for Michigan beer | MLive.com

Now that I've built two of the Ebay Aquarium temp controller boxes, I no longer need my Johnson Analog temp controller. Time to sell. I'm going to do it auction style. I'll sell it to the highest bidder in this thread one week from today so it will end on 9/8 at 9:30am eastern time...

I moved into a new house this past November. I knew the basement had some small leaks but I wasn't that concerned. It only leaks during heavy rains so maybe 3-4 times since I've been there. I'm now at the point where I'd like to fix this and finish off the basement. It's a big project I have...

So I got to thinking the other day when a buddy asked me to help set him up with an electric brewing system. I currently have a Brutus 10 style system with one LG pump. It runs with propane and works great. However, I would also like to be able to brew inside during the winter or have my system...

I, too, now have a Google + account and can send out invites. I'm not sure how many I can send but I'm willing to send as many as they'll let me. So, just shoot me a PM with your email address and I'll get you invited.

Been saving my pennies to make this happen after my premium membership expired a month or so back. I'm glad to support this community and I know the $125 I spent is much less than the guidance and help I've received so far. Now back to your regularly scheduled beer chatting. :mug:

Sigh... I have a bunch of rhizomes I want to plant and I can't because of all the rain over the past few weeks. At this rate it will be June before I get them in the ground. Oh well.... certainly wasn't expecting anything from them this year anyway. Bring on the sun!!!

Anyone know of some good places to visit..... beer wise? I was at SKOB (Siesta Key Oyster Bar) last night. Fun times but not much in choices of beer. Thanks in advance! Geoff

So the other day I take my 15 year old daughter out to lunch at our local Big Boy. They had a "build your own burger" buffet that we both thought would be good to try. It came with the soup and salad bar so we'd have plenty to eat. We both head up to the buffet and grab a burger to make. Now...

As with most of us here, I like to try different recipes. Seeing that there are thousands of them out there, I am looking for some software that will do a search of the recipes and tell me what I have enough stock to brew. Looking for the following: 1) A printable/sortable list of all...

Well today was supposed to be an exciting day back in to brewing after a 2 year break. Had everything worked out, grains milled, carboy's sanitized, etc. The plan was to start at noon with many interested friends coming to watch and learn. I got a phone call... 5 of them to be exact, all...

This place is awesome!!!!! I got a Foodsaver a few years ago with the intention of cooking up a bunch of food and saving it for later. It ended up being too much of a pain in the a$$ and not worth the effort. Well today I was reading through the forums and I see a thread where people were...

If I pay for 5 consecutive years of premium membership do I get upgraded to lifetime membership? I'd love to get a lifetime but the extra $100 would be a stretch. :D
