How much ice do you typically use?

Out of curiosity, how to you switch over to the pump from the hose?

Here in Richmond ,VA the groundwater is already 85 degrees!!! Today we tested a pre-chiller, submerged in ice, to cool 7.5 gallons of boiling water. Initially the temp dropped ok, we started dropping ice in our pre-chill vessel at about 125 degrees......and...... nothing. We we're still at 98...

It's a standard, 3 wire US dryer outlet, nema 10-30 circa 1950's. It has a 30 amp breaker. I've read tons of about these and have even worked on some at home during DIY projects. Is the split phase a concern while selecting GFCI protection?

OK, so I've got my boil-coil installed in the blichmann. The still dragon is ready for assembly. Now I just need to spec my GFCI protection. I called one the online places, GFCI store I think. the guy told me that I would need a particular model because the outlet is split-phase?! Has anyone...

thanks. I plan to jump right in.

I've been looking at the still dragon. how do you like it?

nice work. time to dust off the drawing board.

Thanks, ease of use is exactly what I'm looking for. we're still relatively low tech at this point.

actually the bichmann was a gift to my buddy from his girlfriend:rockin: I got socks....Awesome parts list. I'll look through each to see if I can make sense of it. I've got some electrical experience and know a few electricians who I could get to sign off on my project. thanks

Hi, My buddy got a 15 gal blichmann boiler maker G2 and plans to get the blichmann boil coil as well. We use it to brew one five gallon batch so far on his stove. It worked great but we are planning to move up to full boils and even ten gallon batches soon. We need to figure out how to get...

My buddy and I have been brewing for about a year and half. Maybe 20 batches or so. We've had some great results and a failure or two with extract/steeped grain brews. We plan to step it up this year and I've found myself referring to this forum so often that I might as well join. Thanks for...
