16 awg wire has a max ampacity of 13 A. Even if you fuse a circuit below that ampacity, you should still have an agreement between wire size and breaker size. A 15 A breaker won't trip until about 12 A or so, meaning your wire should be fine, but I wouldn't bet my house/garage on it. I would...

I would use motor starter rated switches.

Did you have any trouble tapping the new hole in the pressure cooker lid for the new valve to screw into? I'm about to do the same (although maybe with a larger diameter) and am a bit worried about drilling and tapping a hole in the thin metal lid. I have no experience in tapping new threads...

What is the black tubing you used?

Also, for what it's worth, my temperature probe will actually be in the wort.

Thanks all for the info. Do you keep your fan running constantly or just when heating/cooling? I'm building the temp controller itself, so I have a lot of flexibility/control over how to implement this thing.

Im going to eventually build a ferm chamber. I found a candle warmer for a couple bucks and was wondering if that would make a good enough heating element? I've seen people use light bulbs, so I figure this thing will supply enough heat for a 1 or 2 carboy-sized chamber. Anyone have any thoughts?

Based on the load (or even better if it lists full load current) you can google the size breaker/wire you need. Be sure that the reference you use references the...

What voltage?

Accounts for added volume of measuring stick. Should be changed based on the shape of measuring stick (i.e. ruler vs. rod).

First off, I'm a total novice, but my experience with using fertilizer on infant plants has never been very good. It seems as if you have taken enough care of the soil that perhaps the fertilizer is throwing the chemical profile of the soil all out of whack. I haven't babies my first year growth...

That's funny, because I've been to Miami a handful of times. I seem to remember a good number of people who chose to leave their country to move to this one. That's truth. Obviously we disagree with each other. We can just leave it at that, and you can stay in the good old USA or go back to...

Is this a joke? I've been a lot of places, Jack, and I can tell you we are either admired or envied the world over. Keep in mind that in 200+ years our government has resulted in a world power while at the same time the most altruistic country in the world.

This sounds really interesting. Do it and let us know how well it works.

BOOM! Roasted! Apparently "natural cut" is an industry standard term.
