Had my PocketPro+ for a year at the time my sensor went out. Hach is replacing the unit (took a bit of back and forth for them to agree) as I only used the thing about 15 times. Of course it was out of warranty but it was barely used. When I told them how I used it, they concluded that the...

I'm getting ---- and drifting pH on the readout of my pH pen. I contacted Hach and they said to clean it. What's the ideal cleaner? I have phosphoric acid for mash pH adjustments...or is this a protein fowling? I've used this pen about 10 times since I got it a year ago, always rinsed with...

I purchased a Hach Pocket Pro+ a month ago and yesterday I finally got a chance to use it during my brew (with a 3-point calibration right before). This was my first brew that I have tried to track mash pH and use brewing salts. I used Brewersfriend for all my calculations, but since have...

So I'm going to make a counterflow chiller with the copper from my IC. Because I never thought I would be pumping beer through my IC I never gave it good care to make sure no water was left inside when not in use. So I begin disassembling my IC and notice there is a lot of blue corrosion...

I'm in the midst of my build, I had a thought. I plan on having the temp probe at the top of the pot similar to high gravity's. With the temp probe at this location, the mash will see the correct temp of the pid as the probe is after the heatloss. If say you had the probe within the kettle...

I'm in the market for a RO system and have been doing my homework. I've read the thread https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f11/inexpensive-but-good-reverse-osmosis-system-312102/ and get that a Dow RO membrane is preferable (potentially less waste water) than cheap no name ones. I would love to...

I’ve been brewing for a few years now--did a few extract brews before switching to all grain, and bottled a few batches before building my kegerator. I built myself a nice 10 gallon mash tun out of an igloo water cooler with a 44qt stainless steel pot to replace the plastic interior. All my...

I just stated putting my new setup together with camlocks for all connections. I read about some camlock orings being tight and to leave them clamped overnight to set the gasket. Well, they've been mated together for over a week, and even with olive oil on the arms of the female to reduce...

Well I knew it was a possibility, but I haven't heard anyone complain of not being able to use a camco element with a welding spud. I may have just found such combo. This is the element...

I'm going to be building an e-biab rig and want to silver solder everything. I was planning on soldering a 1/2" spud for the drain valve, but realize now that the spud only allows something to be screwed in on the outside of the kettle. I plan on using a plate chiller on my new setup and...

I'm about to build a e-biab rig and haven't found much infoon how much of each type of wire to get for the panel. I've only found the 'get more than you think' comment. For reference, I plan on the same setup as votlin did at his for his build...
