What brand is the spa panel? You may be able to just take the breaker out of the spa panel and put it in the sub-panel. Otherwise like doug said it would be cleanest to put a new GFCI breaker in the sub-panel. looks like a Square-D QO. 50 amp gfci for that is $160 at home depot. It may make...

And we are up and running with one tap. 2nd installed for next batch. Will need to get a third tap after that.

Ok, about 5 turns of a drill bit and I opened up the drain and can run a gas line down it to the back. Too easy.

Anyone have experience with a lg express cool gc-309bvs ? I bought it a couple years ago off someone who had brought it back from Germany. I have built the adapters so I can run it off of 240v. It is rated for 50hz but from what I’ve read it should be an issue having in on our 60hz system. My...

If you brewed the same (or similar) recipe/style consistently, could you just leave the cake in keg? Batch 1: Filter wort and add yeast. Batch 2+: Add filtered wort the cake would of course get thicker each time, but you could just agitate the keg near the end of a batch to draw some off.

Yes. The root of the issue is that my basement is a multipurpose area and I was tired of schlepping my gear outside. By putting everything behind a wall i minimize exposure to dust and reduce the clutter on the bench. The goal is to have all the equipment and room temperature material from start...

Wine corks and stickers/magnets.

I have a similar GE fridge. I drilled a hole on the side for co2, but keep the taps inside. I like it so I don’t get dust all over the taps and everything stays cold.

Almost done. Going to brew tomorrow despite still needing to do trim and drawers/doors. About 6.5’ long, 56” of bench space. 40 amp service from a basement outlet via a RV extension cord. Servicing a 30A GFCI, 15A GFCI (lights/fan/PID), 20A GFCI (bench outlets). Auber Ezboil (DSPR320) with temp...

Normally it’s the wind that causes issues with brewing outside. Heat loss and blowing the flame out. I’ve brewed in an outside stairwell, which really cut down on the breeze. If I had to brew on a flat area with limited cover I’d probably get a 55 gallon drum or steel trash can and make a wind...

I'm about to enclose my electric brewing cabinet and I wanted to put the basic wiring out there for just a quick double check. I probably should have gone with a turn-key kit, but I enjoy electrical work and small carpentry projects. Attached is a picture of the setup. Power is coming to it via...

Invite a friend over to have a beer and watch the water/wort level.

You could always go with the 4" vent and a 6" fan if it looks like the fan is struggling then add a wye and another 4" vent to come off of it. As to the ebiab you could have a T above the reducer. Cap the top, then drill a hole and run a rope (or wire) through it so that you can raise/lower the...

What size is the dryer vent? Id worry about sizing the fan to the duct/vent and less about condensation at first. If the fan can move the air properly then that would help alleviate condensation. Do you still need to be able to remove all the gear if guests come over? Also regarding the dryer...

If you can... please report back on how this works out and what fan you end up going with.
