This has a lot of interesting stuff http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/j.2050-0416.1992.tb01137.x/pdf THE FORMATION OF ESTERS AND HIGHER ALCOHOLS DURING BREWERY FERMENTATION; THE EFFECT OF CARBON DIOXIDE PRESSURE Bv R. S. Renger, S. H. van Hateren and K. Ch. A. M. Luyben From what I...

http://www.thebrewingnetwork.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=26736&start=8 Delirium Nocturnum is an 8.5% ABV, dark Belgian Strong Ale. It is a triple-fermented dark ale using 3 different yeast strains and 5 different malts. Delirium Nocturnum pours a rich brown/ruby color, with a thick tan head...

Subscribed. How does Nocturnum get the smooth mouthfeel and tingling co2 boozy sweetness? _____ 15 lb English 2-row 1 lb Aromatic malt .5 lb Wheat malt .5 lb Carapils .5 lb Carahell .5 lb Dark Crystal 1 lb Candi sugar Boil (30 min into boil) 2 oz Hallertauer Boil 60 min...

The element is wired from the control panel to the element. The ground from that line is connected to the ground on the element box. The control panel (including those lines) are grounded back to the source. the brew kettles are on a galvanized steel rack on concrete. I know some...

I tried a magnesium anode; it didn't work. I had to replace the element. It is now sealed with a low viscosity silicone. No issues thus far.

I can't seem to upload my excel file, but currently I have a two pump system with two racks and am trying to make the flow automated. I'd like to find most efficient valve configuration. I don't see anything that is extraneous for my setup. To hi-jack this thread I'm also interesting in...

I know that it is 5V dc, but I need to know the amperage.

Could someone link me a power adapter that would work for a BCS-460. I lost mine. thanks

I'm planning to condense stream from the boil. I have an inline vortex fan similar to Kal's ( http://theelectricbrewery.com/ ). I have bought some of the stuff for an exchanger I'm not sure what to use for isolation for cold water side and what to make baffles from... Does someone have so...

where, I am the water is very soft, almost no traces of magnesium or calcium. So I guess your water acts as an sacrificial anode and protects the element. Do you have very hard water? Thanks for the quick reply!

This is what I used http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000BPG4LI/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20 and this is what happened after cooking just water after 3 hours http://i1094.photobucket.com/albums/i457/Dr_fumbles/P4210678.jpg I followed Kal's example on his site for making and installing...

Is there a checklist for running for the first time? GIFI, 40 A & 240V, BCS 460, Setup based on Kal's design For the trial run I was only going to run one heating element.

Ashton: I think that would work but I already have my relays bought and wired. They are all normally open. I'd like stuff to fail open if I can help it. Ischiavo: The pump did come with a plug, but I'm planning to have it feed off my enclosure power. So I can switch it on and off.

"I plan to make the SSRs a second safety with programming since I'm not using the 3-selector" The primary safety being don't turn them both on. Can I not do this? Program the BCS where it does not allow both to be on at once? Should I wire my indicator lights to the coil loop or on output...
