This is an old thread but incase new electric brewers read it I offer this: Contrary to popular belief, a GFCI doesn't actually check current to Earth Ground. It actually uses a differential current comparator to test the current flow through the device. In a 120 v GFCI, it compares the current...

I don't attempt to alter boil time by first wort time. The 20 min is a very general statement. In actual practice I put the hops in the kettle before my first running, and they stay for as long as that running, both batch spages, and the time it takes to bring the kettle up to boil. Since I...

Hello Nukebrewer, I'm not an expert brew chemist or software guru. So please consider the source as you make your decision as to how you will proceed. I FWH every batch because I buy hops in small quantities as I brew. I want to get the best "Bang for the Buck" with my hops as at .oz...

BeerSmith defaults to a 10% increase of IBU for FWH ovwer the normal value calculated for that addition of Hop AA%, addition weight, boil time, and utilization based on the specific gravity. You can change this in the "Options" as you make adjustments for your brew equipment

Hello ISLAGI & GeorgeH, I see we're surrounded by great brewers! 15 min South must be in the Point Place area?? Anyway we probably have passed ISLAGI at Titgemeyr's. I'm the one carrying the gran bags, the Princess is the pretty one with the car keys & checkbook! Life is a struggle! She...

Thanks mbird, You are correct!! And in a much better place just now. Ludington & Hart are on the West cost of MI nearly at the half way point between the North & South of the lower pennsula. They have gotten KILLED with lake effect snow almost constant for two weeks during the recent midwest...
