I thought someone also posted that the true oxi had higher concentrations of one of the key components. That might explain the foaming.

Since my last post the Captain stopped pulling grain completely. Left me dead in the water. So, I contacted NB to send the Captain back. The guy told me the MM3 would likely do the same thing (while implying that I just couldn't adjust my gaps right). So, I have decided to try the Millars...

DON'T go with the Captain. It constantly refuses to pull grain right out of the box.

This is the problem I have. Over and over. No matter what setting combinations I use. I HATE this thing. My first one self destructed in the first week. The second one free wheels constantly (as did the first one). I am considering sending it back and trying to get a refund. Im looking...

Does the percentage of color/flavor grains go up as batch size does? I doubled what I usually use in my Amber, but the beer came out a caramel color. Most amber recipes I have seen use from 1-2lbs of crystal/cara__ per 5 gallons. Yet, building the amber in beersmith for 22 gallons, it has me...

Bringing this thread back from the dead to add some missing info. I'm not affiliated but am going to be buying some hops from them soon. www.hopsmeister.com Located in Lake County, both organic and certified sustainable. If you don't mind repackaging, the sell in minimums of 5lb pellets...

Thanks for the help guys

I'm building a 4500W/5700W RIMS/BK system using one of PJ's wiring setups and am wondering what to do for the main supply chord from the 50A GFCI spa panel to my control box. PJ's diagram uses 4-wire. I bought some 6 AWG SJOOW wire from ebrewsupply, but haven't yet found a 4-wire plug rated...

WOW! That is an impressively disgusting test you have set up. I think I'd use lye for the first soak on that situation or maybe just find some used ones on craigslist and toss those. You're a brave man, though, and I respect that. Maybe just don't tell that story to anyone you share your brew...

Good point. I was just looking at that diagram thinking "wait a minute.... those are connected."

Thanks again. As soon as I was corrected, it all made sense. I ran home for lunch and in about 15 minutes had it wired up correctly and thing were getting cold again. I did indeed wire a fan in right along with the keezer so they come on and off together.

:mug: LMAO!! I like a lot of 'Instant' things. And this does look cool, but it doesn't appear 'instant' at all. In fact, it looks like once you've realized that you needed it, and rounded up, and hooked up what was needed, it is going to be comparable time wise, but a lot more work. I have...

So, it sounds like I might want to control the BK after all. Still looking for help on this. Thinking a 4500 watt for the RIMS, and my size Boil Coil is a 5500 watt and I'll be running 2 pumps.

This seems overkill. I just release all the pressure from the keg, then over the course of a half hour/hour, I poor beers off of the pressure from the carbonation itself every 5-10 minutes. I get a buzz and my beer comes back to correct carb level. But, then again I am not one to obsess over...

Okay, maybe that drawing isn't so obvious. LOL. I'll get at it when I get home.

or am I too stu-stu-stupid to make it work? I wired it up in the pretty obvious way from the diagram on the sticker. I read up/watched a YouTube video on programming it. Set my target F1 to 6 (as I assume it's Celsius), set the F2 to 1, left F3 at 3 and F4 at 0. The temp reading is now up to...

How did you angle your thermometers like that?

I'm building a pretty large E-system with 2" RIMS tube, a 5500W Blichmann Boil Coil in the BK and 2 Pumps. I have a couple questions. First, is it worth having a controller for the Boil Coil? With its 'less than ultra low watt density,' I can't think of why I wouldn't just want it 'ON.'...

So, this sounds substantial. Does this mean that it would be better to have a higher ratio of the SunOxy in the recipe, or that it would be better to just spend the extra bucks on the Oxyclean Free and use it at the current formula ratio? Luckily, the OXY is the only ingredient I haven't...

Thanks all
