So a buddy and I decided to try and chill 10 gallons of wort with his 50' copper chiller my immersing the chiller in a bucket of ice water. Then using his chugger pump we ran the wort of from the kettle and into the chiller. It was coming out of the chiller at 70 degrees. Only question was...

I am trying to use this rocker switch to power a 20 amp GFCI outlet for a 120v 1500 watt heat stick. It will simply act as a portable GFCI breaker with an on/off switch. What I'm not sure of is witch pins are load and line. I assumed it was two lines in and two loads but I think I'm off...

I have not seen this done but I can't imagine someone has not tried this. My goal is to have a portable GFCI outlet(s) with a switch and 10' cord. My hope is I can go any place, either basement brewery or patio, and plug in the portable GFCI and not kill myself. The switch will be for a...

I'm hoping to use one of these "Element Adapters" in conjunction with a 90 elbow, straight pipe, and some clamps... My question is which direction does the element thread with the adapter? What I'm hoping is I can take the element and thread it just as the adapter lays in the picture. The...

If so where? Called NB and they don't sell them. Morebeer does sell lids only but my kettle is 20 gallons and it's 21" wide. Any suggestions? Thanks

Curious how some of you are grounding the STILLDRAGON element guard kit? http://www.stilldragon.com/element-guard-kit-and-adapters.html I'm hoping there is a way to mount the grounding lug inside the guard...?

Is there any reason L14-30 plugs and outlets would not work for a 5500W element? I'm only asking because of cost reasons. My thought was to take this prewired cable and and cut it in half and then wire the two cut ends to my elements and plug in to my control box. The L14 is 120 or 250 is...

Is it possible to not use a control box that is independent form the kettle and just use a bigger junction box on the kettle that lements runs to and wire up a PWM and SSR? So the end result would be a larger box on the kettle with the knob for the PWM and an LED light to indicate it's...

I'm no electrician and I would be hiring some of that out but I'm trying to plan the build and would like to have a dial knob to give power to the element rather than a PID. Would something like this work? http://www.amazon.com/dp/B008LTY6WK/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20 Thanks for the...

THIS WAS ALSO POSTED IN THE KEGGING FORUM I'm hoping to have my keezer in the basement and run the beer and glycol lines through the floor and up to my draft tower. The run might be 12'-15'. Will I run into problems with over carbonated beer (foam) becuase the CO2 will be difussing into the...

I'm hoping to have my keezer in the basement and run the beer and glycol lines through the floor and up to my draft tower. The run might be 12'-15'. Will I run into problems with over carbonated beer (foam) becuase the CO2 will be difussing into the beer as it trys to push the beer that far up...

Am I missing something? If i wanted to do a trunkline of say 12-15 feet why couldn't i just run the glycol solution through a pump like the one pictured rather than a huge expensive glycol pump?

A friend of mine said he heard a podcast about the problems when using a chest freezer as a fermentation chamber. The idea is that a freezer is not built to handle the moisture that would be created in a fermentation chamber. Can anyone speak to that? Thanks!

Is the right place to talk about water or is there a forum or thread JUST for water? I'm curious learn about testing, filtering and building my water. Also what are the taste effects on beer from say tap water in the country out of a well and the effects from tap water in a big city. Thanks

These look great for the price. $99 with free shipping and they include a free scoop with that. They are adjustable rollers and it's a 7lb hopper. If anyone has used these I'd love to hear your feedback. Thanks...

Barley Crusher or Malt Mill prefered. Let me know what you have! Thanks!

Can anyone vouch for Fish Brewery's Eightmile Alt? http://www.fishbrewing.com/leavenworth-biers/eightmile-alt/ Sounds incredible and I'm looking for a good alt bier recipe. Thanks

I have read some old posts about one large loop vs multiple loops. Some seem to think the more braid the better efficiency. So I was thinking couldn't you just take one long piece of SS braid and make one big continuos loop starting with the outside and finishing with the center much like a...

I purchased a 6 tap brass tower on CL for $25. It needed (and still needs) a real good cleaning but I think the faucets will all work but I need to replace two of the brass elbows inside. Problem is I can't figure out how to get the collar nuts off and the shanks out. It seems that the brass...
