I went with the ezboil. Found a guy on Facebook that's an electrical engineer and has built 5-6 panels himself that is building it for me in exchange for a few beers.

So I have decided to go with the EzBoil from Auberins. (Can't get to stilldragon's site as it keeps telling me that it's compromised or something). Was looking at this DIY kit http://www.auberins.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=55&products_id=620 It doesn't state that it comes with...

I have no problem maintaining my mash temp with the SS Brewtech infussion MT and the temp control heating pad. Usually only lose 1° F at the most over the course of an hour mash.

Definitely going with the EzBoil from what you all are saying. Thanks for the info. I already have a three vessel system, all SS Brewtech gear,15 gal HLT, 20 gal mash tun, 20 gal BK, two chugger pumps, and all quick disconnects. So going to BIAB would leave me with a lot of money worth of...

That does look fairly simple. You have a DC pump? Do you not have a heatsink for the SSR? I thought they needed them. Appreciate the help.

50A? For a 5500W 240 V element on the electric brewery, Kal says to use a 30A breaker. And I'll need a probe with the ezboil? Or just with the PID?

The more I read the more confused I get. Lol I like the simplicity of the ezboil but everything I read says to use a PID. I don't like that you have to have a temp probe hooked to the PID or else it throws an error. Barring that decision, I definitely want two 120V plug-ins for both my pumps...

I like that EzBoil. Sounds like what I would want/need. dilligafbrewing - do you have a schematic you used to build yours? I have 2 chugger pumps that I would need to hook up also.

So if I'm not going to be doing RIMS or HERMS and only having boil kettle heating element do I really need a PID? Care to post a link or two to some good threads to read? Thank you.

Bensiff - I am fine with using propane to heat my strike water and sparge water for now and the near future. What is the difference between aubers power controller and a PID? I don't have the service for a 50A panel at this time so really will only be doing single element. jddevinn - I have...

Probably a rehash of other threads but I've searched and read to no avail but to confuse myself. I have brewed for years and want to go to electric. I will buy a 240v 5500W element kit from Kal at the electric brewery. Although the control panel they sell is completely out of my price range. I...

So I put it into a 6.5 gallon carboy. Let sit for a few days. It was smelling pretty sour. Yesterday I pitched a 1L starter of wyeast 1056. This morning it's happily fermenting. Super acidic. Lots of krausen.

Thanks everyone. Getting some distilled water now.

What exactly is making it unfixable?

Just dregs. But one bottle was a straight Brett Brux beer. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Home Brew mobile app
