HI Has anyone ever done a cast ale? I understand the idea to be that the final fermantation is without an airlock so the pressure is retained and it carbonates the beer. It is a similar concept to the carbonation produced in bottle conditioning. I use a corny keg, add some priming...

Has anyone tried using a 120v under sink water heater to maintain the temp of a mash? I think i will try to run the output of my mash tun thru a pump and into the input of the on demand water heater. I am not sure what the max output temp of the heater is though.

Has anyone used this to regulate mash temp on a HERMS setup? Basically I want to use a March pump to circulate my mash liquid through a coil in my HLT. I want to automate the circlulation by plugging into this controller and putting the prob in a trermowell in the mash.

Great Thanks

Its been stopped for a week. No bubbling and no change in gravity. Should I re-aerate?

HI I have a temp drop and it seems to have stopped my fermentation short. OG 1.067 FG 1.041 Any ideas to ferment the remaining sugar? thanks

I have checked several times. I even tried to hook up only the power and nothing. I think I fried it. Can it cause problems if the wire is overheated? i.e. solder iron was applied to long

I followed this wiring and everything was operating correctly. Then I decided to solder the wire splices and now nothing works. It doesn't even power up at all. Is this because I left the leads wired in to the controller?

Well put "electrons" I am going to mount the controller into the side of the ferm chamber and use a junction box on the inside for the cords. Everyone tends to over complicate things on here, lights, receptacles , bells and whistles. Give me function K.I.S.S.

I would like to use this controller with out wiring in the outlet. I will be using a small heater and a fan on the cool side. I want to cut the plug off of the heater and hard wire it directly into the controller. Will this cause issues?

Can this be wired directly to the controller with no plug involved?

Could this temp controller be used for mash temp regulation?

Hi all I have some crazy number to report from this Duval Clone recipe on page 78 of the BYO 250 Best Recipes edition. Pre boil wort Gravity 1.070 Post boil 1.090 After primary 1.027 (Beer Smith estimates 8.26% ABV) dosage sugar add to secondary 1.035 I added 1lb of dosage sugar to the...

I haven't yet, but will be brewing this weekend and plan to try it out after.
