Hey guys, I've been testing out my simple 8 gallon single vessel 120V electric setup and I've run into a few issues. To start, it's very similar setup to one of PJ's diagrams (thanks PJ!) for a 2000W element (attached to this post), except without the stir plate and I added an additional switch...

WroxBrew, Thanks for the info and pic! Even though you say your camera isn't that great, that's the best close up picture of their sight glasses I've seen so far. One of the questions I had was whether or not it was graduated, and judging from the photo it appears not (although I could be...

Maybe I'm looking into this too much, but I'm a "units go with numbers and numbers go with units" kind of guy. I read "Designing Great Beers" by Ray Daniels (excellent book btw), and I love the BU:GU ratio concept, but I have one problem with it. Since IBUs are there own units, it's implied...

Hey all, been using this site for a little less than a year now, it's helped in so many ways. I figured it was about that time to join considering I'll pretty much be brewing the rest of my life now. I've been brewing almost a year and a half now, and just started to brew all-grain batches...
