Well I found this thread looking for a similar problem with an IPA I just kegged because I suspected this to be the issue too. I guess I did not rinse well enough. Really bummed because it now tastes like aspirin

HDPE or High Density Poly Ethelene plastic has an amazing temperature range, and is considered safe for short periods up to 248°F (120°C) or for long periods up to 230°F (110°C.) Since boiling water never gets above 100°C, this means that anything boiling and below is safe for a food grade bucket.

Thanks again everyone. I have been lurking through the forum for a year now. I'm glad I decided to hop in, you have all been great and helpful. I feel like you all proved my mother wrong and that I do have friends.

This is good, In my efforts to trouble shoot my circuit I found some things that others have done I like and some stuff I did I don't think is that great. My original go was to go eBIAB for less the $200. Since I have failed to realize my goal I might as well go nicer. One thing I thought would...

I tried this and the element was heating at what I expected. Opened up my controler and found the hot spade connector on my 120v outlet was completely pulled free and lightly resting on its post. Think I am just going to start with a bigger box. I just tried to cram to much in there. Im sure I...

I forget, I know it was in line with what a tutorial I was reading on testing an element said it should be

Bobby M is "welcome to BrewHardware.com. I love you." A reference to Idiocracy?

Its not crazy, I have triple checked that myself.

PID logic, 120v light I installed was on constantly though, I just assumed the element was constantly on too.

Rims output with the PID, kettle with and IR thermometer. Is it possible for the element to be grounding out on they tube if the are touching?

So I did a search of the forums and did not find anything on this issue, if I overlooked it I am sorry for making a new thread. I have made myself a rims tube and a controller, 1500w element with a fairly standard PID/SSR setup to pump out 115v. I did my first wet test with 3 gallons to see...
