    PLEASE let the Northern Brewer buy-out be a hoax!

    I received the same marketing email. Inhit unsubscribe with the reason as "InBev". I encourage others to do the same. InBev's interest are diametrically opposed to the craft beer industry so they are trying to get their hands in it to screw it up. Take a stand and don't let them. Support a...

    50 amp wiring diagram help - brewtroller

    I planned a ridiculous number of on/off/auto switches for everything (valves, pumps, heating elements). But so far I haven't hooked them up and haven't felt like I needed the additional override control. I have all the supplies to hook it up when I want ,but brewtroller does a fairly good job of...

    50 amp wiring diagram help - brewtroller

    1 box worked for me. But 2 might make sense if you are going to go with 4 elements. Either way, make sure you have plenty enough room as it gets annoying to work in tight spaces

    50 amp wiring diagram help - brewtroller

    One 5 amp DC power supply was plenty sufficient. I have a 5 amp circuit breaker and it has never tripped. It easily handles the loads of the PIDs and valves just fine. Could definitely be adapted for 4 elements. You would just need to make sure you aren't running all 4 elements at the same...

    Questions about March Pumps answered by the Factory!

    Well, I was an a idiot and took apart my other March pump to try and figure out what I had wrong. In the process of taking off the back plate, I somehow screwed up my second pump and when I put it back together, it is having the same problem. I think that i must have misaligned something or have...

    Questions about March Pumps answered by the Factory!

    My 809 has been making a squealing noise occasionally while operating. I figured it was from debris getting into the motor housing from previous brew sessions. I took apart the rear housing and cleaned it. After looking into it, I think some of what I removed was wicking material intentionally...

    Anyone know where to buy hop oil?

    Hop Union isn't selling small quantities of hop oil at the moment and isn't sure if they will in the near future either. They will sell in mass quantity but not in home brewer size for now.

    Anyone know where to buy hop oil?

    Doesn't seem like anyone knows where to get this stuff. I think it looks very interesting. Sent an email to hopunion and will be back with hopefully a place to get this. Think this would be great for experimentation on tweaking recipes.

    What power % do you use?

    Wondering what others are using for their boil. I use a Camco 5500W element on a 5 gallon batch (about 7 gallons preboil) at 55% power. After one hour, I get 22% evaporation rate which seems high to me, but I don't think my boil is too crazy. What do others use?

    New Jersey Trade 5 gal for 6 gal better bottles

    I have three 5 gallon better bottles and I'm looking to swap out for 6 gallon better bottles. I am in Hoboken. Bottles are in good shape. Been used for 2-5 batches depending on bottle and cleaned only with PBW. No scratch issues. Nate

    Enclosure?

    Go larger than you think. I went 24x16, thought i would have plenty of extra room, but it doens't have much extra room. Bought mine from ebay. Grey box with the orange backing, like the one on Kal's site.
