How will it effect the amp. wattage, ect. if I wire two 4500 what elements in series. Will I have 9k whats or a extra low density 4500? I could probably drag out the book and figure this out, but I know some of you guys know it by heart. What I'm shooting for is a more gentle heat to avoid...

My electric build is coming along, but slowly. I have a relay panel with receptacles, each with its own power on light right above it, mounted on the wall right next to my 60 amp gfi. I hook to my control box with a tail light plug for a trailer. I have plenty of room to expand for more...

This IPA is hopped with simco, chinook and cascade to 70 IBUs as printed on the label. I found this to be a fairly balanced IPA with a good citrisy bitterness. Very drinkable at a price that is affordable.

Back in may someone posted a link in the classified section, to get a brewing magizine at a big discount. Several people said they subscribed including myself. Has anyone recieved a mag. yet? I havn't!

Wireing up a spa panel Do you havee to havee 4 wires goin in to the panel? The reason I ask I because I have a Square D 200 amp service in the house with a 60 amp feed comming off that to a panel for my garage but it is just 3 wire. In my main box the neutral and ground lugs are connected so I...

I'v been browsing the PIDs on ebay, does all of them have the manual mode so you can controll the amount of power to the element? If not how do you determine if it's the right one for a brew kettle. thanks

I'm having a flavor problem with the last kits I bought. I'v brewed several beers, extract, partial extract, and ag with good results. I made a Porter with these kits that is decent, but all my pale ales are bad. I brewed 2 IPAs, an APA, and used the LME from a 5 gal. kit and added corn, and...

I'm going to take one of my AHS IPA kits and make a 3 crop cream ale. I have 8 lbs of extra pale extract but if I use the crystal 75L, according to Beer Calcules my color will be too dark, My question is do I need a base malt to steep with my minute rice and instant grits to get conversion? If...

Iv been looking at a PID temp controller on ebay, looks just like the one I got for my freezer fermenter conversion, but it has 30a relay. Any reason this wouldn't work to controll heating elments in a boil kettle? I'm a little skeptical about a 30a 220 contacter in this small a pkg. I'v been...

I brewed an IPA one day, the next day I brewed a Porter, and the next day I brewed an APA. I know activity in the air lock dosn't mean the yeast is done, but the APA had airlock activity for three days, the IPA for seven days and the Porter is still going after 15 days. I racked the IPA to a keg...

Just wondering why a GFCI is so important on a brew Kettle? I can understand on a hot tub, spa, pool, ect. but how is a brew system different from an electric range, clothes dryer, or hot water heater? I'v been wanting to build an electric system, but never considered the need for a GFCI untill...

I have made 2 cooper Aussy Stouts and they both turned out very good but lack any sweatness. I wouldn't want it sweat all the time but every now and then I like it. I'm getting ready to make my AHS stout and was wondering how to get some of it to stay sweat. This kit may be a sweater style than...

I brewed a WPA a while back and after I bottled it I shook the slury a little and put some in a couple 750ml bttles, added my new wart to the rest lo the cake and filled the 2 botttles withe some of my new wart. I got good activity in the bottles, and after it slowed down I tightened the cap an...

I got my kits today from AHS, the IPA extract kit has 8lb ex pale extract and 1 lb crystal 75L malt. I like IPA but they seem to have a wide range of bitterness. this kit calls for a 60 min boil with 1 oz. of Newport hops at 60 min, 1 0z Falconer's Flight at 15 min, and dry hop with 1 0z of...

I ordered 5 kits from AB will be here tomarrow and they recomend using LME in a month or less, which is no problem, but I would like to get 5 more kits before the sale runs out Sunday. I will probably brew them right away because I'm trying to get about a ten keg reserve. If I did want to keep...

I keged two batches and primed them to get CO2 while they are conditioning to get the O2 off the top. I burped them several times to let the O2 out. If I let them build pressure now and carb, will the preasure effect the fermination of the priming sugar?

A friend likes wheat bear and wanted to lnow if I could make one. Just now as I was cooking pasta I had a thought, maybe I couls use the water in a beer. Has anyone ever tried something like this, or offer a theory on the outcome. thanks

I have a pilsner I was going to rack from the primary to a corny but it was quite dirty so I put it in a carboy to let it settle some but after a week it wasnt clearing very fast so I added some gelatine. I was planning on dumping a new batch on this yeast cake when I rack it to the corny, will...
