I am glad I held off on purchasing the $270+tax GFCI breaker for my panel, because I found a 30 amp inline GFCI cord from this site: http://www.hosfelt.com/contents/en-us/d702.html#p5341 I actually found this via an old thread here which said (at the time of writing) there were 5 left...

Hi all, as you may know I am working on a Kal build, and I bought some relays that another HBT user went with that were much cheaper (and enclosed which I liked). I'm just curious about how to wire these things, since they look different than the Kal ones. Is the picture below pretty...

Good day all! I am currently building an electric brewery setup in my garage (thread here). I'm using converted kegs for my brewing vessels, and one thing I'm having trouble deciding is just which style of weldless bulkhead to use for all my fittings. It seems that most of the major...

Hey gang - I'm working on a PROJECT! I've finally gotten to a point in my build that I have some pictures of stuff that I want to share. When we bought this house about 2 years ago, I knew that it was PERFECT for a larger, purpose-built brewery. I discovered TheElectricBrewery.com some time...

Hi all! I've started preparing the garage and ordering a few parts for my electric brewery build like Kal's. I've priced out building my own vs buying Kal's kit, and though I know it will be harder and will take longer, building my own is important to me both as a challenge, and it...

I live in Canada and when I walked into our local home improvement places I couldn't believe the cost of these plugs! And the cord that went with them. Came across an ebay listing for the plugs plus 9 feet of cord (the same cord Kal uses on his brewery) for $17 each. http://r.ebay.com/pyrLXD...

So, I've read lots of other threads and even - gasp - other forums and I can't seem to find instructions for my particular problem. I popped the cap off my draft tower in hopes I'd be able to change out my beer line. What I saw was the shank extending through the wall of the tower, with a 90...

Well, my pipeline is rapidly filling - I've got 2 kegs in my 2-keg kegerator which are both basically full, and an IPA that is just about ready to keg. I am going to dry hop this IPA in the keg, but I anticipate having it stored in the keg for up to a month before it gets into the fridge for...

Hey gang, Maybe somebody else has a better solution to this problem, but I searched and searched before I finally solved it. I just so happened to have a 100lb propane tank lying around - it came with my house and was not used, in favour of a 200lb leased tank for the fireplace. I...

Hi all, For my next brew, I'd like to mess with my water a little. One of the things I'd like to do is lower my mash and sparge water PH. My starting PH is about 6.2, so it's pretty low already. I know many brewers use lactic acid, but my LHBS did not have any. They did however have...

Ladies and Gentlemen, gather 'round and hear my cautionary tale of woe and sorrow! It was a lovely morning in Sooke, the birds were singing, the sun was shining, and there was a fresh scent in the air from last night's light rainfall. As I went about my morning routine, I admired the...

Hi there, I live on an acreage with a private well. It's a deep drilled well (700+ ft) and we drink the water right outta the ground - no treatment. I happen to know what the mineral analysis is, since this is required when you drill a well here, and is a good thing to know so you're not...

Hey gang, Well, I'm officially addicted - and all it took was 3 batches in the kegs to get me back into brewing and wanting more - it's amazing what selling off your Grolsch and Kulmbacher swing-tops can do for your enthusiasm for this hobby. I'm looking to buy some bulk supplies because...

Last brew was only my second all-grain, and the first where I milled my own grain - the LHBS did it for me the first time. I had this Corona mill lying around - I got it when I bought about 150 Grolsch and Kulmbacher bottles off an old home brewer who was moving from his house into an apartment...

Greetings from Vancouver Island! I started brewing about 6 or 7 years ago with Cooper's kits, and Spagnol's Brewhouse Kits - and quickly moved on to custom extract recipes, steeping grains, and hops. I moved here to the Island in 2005 and had only brewed once - a subpar first attempt at...
