So right now, I run a 1500w 120v RIMS tube setup controlled by PID. The toolbox that I mounted my control panel in has plenty of room for an additional element outlet and power switch. After dealing with New England's awful, awful winter and the wind that loves to whip across my porch and mess...

Hey all! Finally finished my RIMS toolbox controller with the help of my electrician friend. We based our design off the RIMS kit available from eBrewSupply. The RIMS tube is from BrewHardware and the fittings are all from Bargain Fittings. We haven't come up with a mounting solution for the...

I'm still fairly new to electric brewing, so I'm not 100% sure on what I would need from P-J's current diagrams, but I'd appreciate anyone able to point me in the right direction! I'm putting together an electric RIMS system. The control panel and pump are mounted in a 19" metal toolbox. I'd...

Hey all, I am finally gearing up to put together a control panel for a hybrid electric/propane RIMS system I am building. The control panel I am going to be building will be mounted into a metal toolbox, and will contain 1 Mypin PID, switches for power, element power, and a pump, and the...

Hello all - I come seeking some advice. I am a brewer on a budget, but one that still wants to make some upgrades to his system. I am in the process of designing and putting together a two vessel, one pump hybrid RIMS system. The plan is for two stainless steel kegs - MT and BK. The MT will...

Hey all. I've been brewing all grain for around five years now, and am tired of my current propane-fired system. I love boiling on propane, because my burner has been very efficient and is high powered enough to work well. However, I've been having temperature issues between my HLT and my MT and...

So, there's a new sous-vide style immersion cooker that just got funded on Kickstarter called the Sansaire (http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/seattlefoodgeek/sansaire-sous-vide-circulator-for-199) It's a rad device on its own, but the homebrewing applications are super tempting. It's an...

Hey guys, I have made the decision to migrate my rig to an all-electric, single-vessel BIAB rig. Currently, I use a BIAB propane setup using a 15.5 gallon keggle and a pump-in-a-toolbox with Camlock QDs. I brew out back, just outside of my bulkhead. The main reason I want to make the...

Hey guys, I posted initially when my friend and I had started this podcast, but we have been really finding a balance lately. I would LOVE if you checked us out. You can find The Brewcast at http://thebrewcast.blogspot.com, or you can subscribe to the podcast via iTunes or through this RSS...

My buddy Joey and I have been consistently doing a beer/brewing podcast each week, The Brewcast. Would love if anyone interested checks it out and lets me know what you think! This week we talk about wheat beers, shipwreck beer and Diablo 3 (yeah, the game). http://thebrewcast.bandcamp.com

I have been doing a beer/brewing podcast with my friend Joey. Neither of us are experts, we probably say some stuff that is purely incorrect - but it is fun to talk about beer and brewing. If you're interested in listening along with us, please check out the podcast...

I have recently started a beer-related podcast with my friend Joey. Now, we are only doing this for fun, so it might not be the most technically proficient podcast out there (and we probably screw up our facts here and there) but if you are interested in conversation about brewing and about beer...

Hey guys, So I have a new March 815-PL pump. I understand that it is not self-priming and needs liquid in the pump head to work. Today I was running some experiments, figuring out how to use the pump in my process. I haven't mounted it yet, and just had it sitting on the deck, inlet on the...

Hey guys, I've been working on slowly upgrading my brew rig into something that saves me time and makes the process easier. I have been brewing using a single burner turkey fryer and cooler MT for a few years now and the setup has served me very well over the years. I have brewed great beer...

So before I describe my situation, here's the recipe of my latest IPA: 9.50 lb Pale Malt (2 Row) US (2.0 SRM) Grain 80.2 % 1.00 lb Vienna Malt (3.5 SRM) Grain 8.4 % 0.75 lb Caramel/Crystal Malt - 60L (60.0 SRM) Grain 6.3 % 0.50 lb Cara-Pils/Dextrine (2.0 SRM) Grain 4.2 % 0.10 lb Black...

So I just bought my first house! As such, I have tons more space for brewing, but not a lot of money to spend. I want to set up a brewery in my basement. I don't need to boil inside, as the location will be quite close to my bulkhead and as such easy to access for boiling purposes. I WOULD...

So this was my first shot at a "Black IPA" and I think I hit the nail on the head in terms of what I was going for. I was a bit worried about the color but the more I check it out the happier I am with it. This mother is a punch in the face - around 7% ABV, 106 IBU, ready to destroy your...

Alright, so let me throw my recipe out there first, then I'll explain my question: 9 lb. US 2 Row 1 lb. Munich 0.5 lb. Carapils 0.5 lb. Crystal 80 0.5 lb. Carafa III 1 oz. Warrior @ 60 0.5 oz Sorachi and 0.5 oz. Amarillo @ 30 0.5 oz Sorachi and 0.5 oz. Amarillo @ 15 0.5 oz Sorachi...

So I lugged home all of my gear to brew a holiday IPA today with my dad and my uncle (and of course I brought a couple kegs with me). My wife and I are crashing here with my parents for a couple days, so here's my issue: Do I chill and pitch tonight, then let the beer start fermenting and...
