I got a rare occasion to brew this afternoon. Set up the rig last night. Went out, flipped her on, set my temp and walked away. The water got up to 125 and won't climb any higher. The element 'on' light is not lighting up anymore. What gives? I've brewed about 20 batches on this thing...

I'm working on a RIMS build, and I have a Hoffman C8C12 Console box ($20 bucks on ebay, score!) It does not have a backplate to mount things too, so I was curious as to how I'm gonna accomplish mounting the SSR/Heatsink and Terminal Blocks to the 'floor' of this box. Any recommendations? I've...

I finally got around to taking some pics of my little brew setup so I thought I'd share for my 1,000th post. First pic is of how I usually set it up, although I put my cooler MT on a small cart. This is a Patio King cart from Amazon that my Wife got me for my birthday this year. It has no...

Evenin' Folks! I'm building a Pump In A Box, with a 2 Gang Switch connected to a GFCI Outlet. My goal is to have a small 3 outlet strip connected to the load side so I can power up my pump (that's plugged into the strip) and run it by one of the switches, and the other switch controlling...

I'm smoking 2 butts tomorrow, both ~4 pounds. Is 1.5 Hours/Lb at 225* the right time/temp? Is 6 hours enough for 2 butts? I've been asked to brine them as well (I'm doing this as a favor for a good friend) Has anyone had any luck with a certain brine? Any help would be great, thanks Gurus...

Thread title sounds like a ******** thread, whoops! I've just picked up some boneless skinless chicken thighs, and I've never cooked with them before. What do y'all like to do with thigh meat? I'm used to just cooking breasts and hot wings, so I'm kind of at a loss with what to do with these...

Hi All, I've been reading about using gelatin to clear beer in secondary or when racking into a keg, but it requires a cold crash. It takes the yeast out of suspension and any other hop floaties as I understand it, so if you use gelatin, you're going to have to force carb since there isn't any...

Hi All. I brewed a Partial Mash AHS Blue Moon Clone on Sunday. Pitched WLP400 (Belgian Wit) at 75 degrees, then moved it to my fermentation fridge (temp controlled freezer) and it has been there at 64 degrees since. It's in a carboy, and I have yet to see any sign of fermentation. I know...

All this Homebrew hobby has really done for me is test my patience and increase my desire to try all types of beers. I usually drink the BMC stuff but I'm beginning to see the light, (unless I'm mowing the lawn, gotta have my Miller Lite) there are a lot of good beers out there. I am on business...
