still a lot to do but its coming along nicely

Good suggestions... Thanks!

Hello All... I have a single color logo that I designed and want to have it printed to approx 24 amber 64oz growlers. Seems like all i can find are companies that print massive orders. Can anyone steer me towards a company that will do short orders for a reasonable price? Thanks!

My temp controller is rated at 10amps and I'm thinking a heat stick would be safest since I'll need to use the high pressure burner to get quick temperature rise... With what I have going on, what size element should I use? I'm thinking 1000w would be safe and effective? For now I just want...

I have a 50 amp breaker feeding my (detached) brewhouse and an upgrade is a major project. I have 2 refrigerators and an additional temp controlled refrigerator for fermenting on the panel. Do i have enough amperage left to run a large 240w element or stick with a 120w heat stick? I'm already...

Bad News Brewery, I will look into that. Another good idea. That's why I love this site! I'll look for build instructions before I post any repetitive questions on this thread. Cheers!

Im in the middle of a Pliny the Elder clone brew and i just realized i do not have the 1 lb of Dextrose (Corn Sugar) that it calls for. Can a substitute be used without messing it up? if so what? THANKS for any help!!!

good deal, thanks again! CHEERS!

Excellent! i kinda figured that but i wanted to check with some experienced growers first. Enjoy building the trellis! I hope to start construction this weekend as well. BTW, how far apart would you recommend planting each?
