I just built a 1440w heat stick. On the initial test I submerged the element and rested it on my thermometers probe. The water temp started out at 100° After a minute of the element touching it, it read 60° It stays 40° cooler throughout the entire range. Any ideas why this happened?

When I got home today I found stout splatters all over the walls and ceiling of my closet. The stout I started last night generated enough pressure to blow my airlock out! It probably sat like this for hours, do you think it'll survive?

I came home to quite a mess today. Last night, I started brewing Brewers Best Milk Stout. This morning at 6AM there was a thin layer of foam, maybe a half inch. It was nice to see the yeastie beasties working. Unfortunately the air lock didn't stay in place. This being my second stout, I...
