    Washington 11 Gal fully electric BIAB System

    I sold the system last week, thanks for the interest. --------------------------------- Full disclosure, this system was for sale earlier in the year at this link. A number of people expressed interest, but my wife and I had an unexpected move that put selling the system on the back burner...

    WTB solder dimple tool

    I was wondering if any awesome HBT member would be interested in helping out a fellow home brewer. I really want to swap out my weldless fittings for soldered fittings. However I'm having a hard time swallowing the cost for the dimple tool that I've seen many use. If you've made a dimple tool...

    Tips for insulating Kettle with Reflectix

    I bought some reflectix to better insulate my kettle during mashing. My system is an 11 gallon eBIAB so I don't have to worry about burner heat. I ended up using 4 layers and made cut outs for the heating element, ball valve and sight glass. I think overall it turned out pretty good. I'll...

    I am an idiot...

    After waiting 4 weeks for my Belgian triple to ferment, I did my normal bottling routine. Added corn sugar and primed to reach 3 volume carbonation. Managed to let it sit another month before I tried a bottle. I thought it might be a little harsh still, but I wanted to see how it was...

    brekhokie's eBIAB build

    I know there are a bunch of these threads already posted, but I've found the other eBIAB builds so helpful I felt compelled to give something back. I've been brewing for almost one and a half years. I've done lots of extract, partial mash recipes and around six all grain batches. I moved into...

    NEC code regarding SPA Panel

    Quick question for the electrical guru's. My plan to supply power to my eBIAB rig is to install a 30amp breaker in my main panel--15ft of 10/3 with ground romex to the Spa Panel--30amp dryer outlet installed in the spa panel (pretty much how many others have done there's). My questions are...

    Cheap 30 amp GFI breaker

    I've been scouring ebay my ebiab build, and noticed this listing. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Sq-D-Circuit-Breaker-BOLT-30A-240V-QOB-GFI-Test-/270332223361?pt=BI_Circuit_Breakers_Transformers&hash=item3ef10e5f81#ht_500wt_1361 I have no relationship to the seller, but it seemed like a good...

    PID cheaper than Auberins

    Hey guys everyone seems to think Auberins is the beezneez when it comes to homebrew PID's. Any particular reason for that? How about this ebay PID, it does both F and C, has a SSR and seems very similar to Auberins, but almost half the cost...

    Electric Propane Hybrid

    So I've moved in the world of All Grain brewing and my stove top is not cutting it. Also we're moving into a new house and the wife and I agree to keep the mess out of our new kitchen. I'd love to go full electric, but with a new house and all the expenses that go along with it, it's not...

    Bad first all grain brew day

    So I finally made the leap to all-grain. I've got around 10 batches using extracts and partial mashes under my belt, they've all turned out pretty good to great. I'm using a 10 gal round cooler with stainless braid as my mash tun. The recipe I brewed called for 7.5 lbs of pilsner, .5 lbs of...

    Gusher Infection

    My last two batches have been a little on the fizzy side, larger bubbles and the head dies away pretty quickly. I thought I overcarbed and that was the problem. The other day I opened one of my IPA's, reached for a glass, turned around and had a mild volcano of foam gurgling out of the...

    Fizzy Beer

    Just tasted two bottles of a strawberry blonde I bottled 3 1/2 weeks ago. The flavor is right on, but the beer feels really fizzy (almost like soda). It had a good head to it but I was really having a hard time getting past how carbonated it was. -FG was right on -used 3.9 oz of table...

    Wiring a RIMS for both 220 and 120v?

    I'd really like to build an electric setup, and love the flexibility of of using an RIMS tube. However I'd prefer not needing three elements (one in HTL, one in RIMS tube, One in boil kettle). I'm worried about scorching the wort during recirculation using a 4500 watt element at full power...

    Mixing yeast brands

    I recently ordered ingredients for a DFH 90 minute IPA clone and I was planning on brewing this week. I ordered everything I needed including a pack of Wyeast 1098. I use Mr. Malty to calculate pitching rates, and with a OG of 1.085 it says I need 2 packs of liquid yeast and a 1.5 liter...
