I just finished building my heat exchanger and thought I'd share some photos. Did a test run with 6 gallons of water and was able to raise the temp a little over 2 degrees per minute. Here is the inside view. I was able to stuff 25' of 1/2" ID tube in there. The tank holds about a...

I've been working on a control panel, and thought I'd post some photos of the build. This is for an electric HLT and heat exchanger. There should be enough room in the box if I ever decide to convert my BK to electric. Here is the box I'm using. It's an old recloser control I scored from...

I'm trying to determine the proper starter size to use for washed yeast. I've read a few threads that touch on this, but I'm still a little confused. My apologies if this has been answered before. I'm planning to brew a 1.035 bitter with 30 ml of washed yeast harvested on 1/23/11. My usual...
