I could because I put each wall on its individual breaker and never expected any expansion, especially a 240. It would involve me moving circuits to free up the space though, that’s why I was looking to add another sub as it would be easier to just run a single wire rather than tie others...

So tie the neutral to the gfci and then the outlet? ETA: disregard the above, I can just run a second sub panel with a breaker to kill it and then the gfci for the outlet. This will give me the proper 4 wire needed, will probably put me over my amps so probably not to code, but like I said...

Right, but I can tie into my neutral out of my subpanel for the 30 amp to get my 120 circuit correct? I.e run my 2 hots and ground from outlet to 30 amp circuit breaker and box and the neutral tied to the floating neutral bar in the sub. Essentially making a single sub panel for a 4 wire plug...

so after going back and forth I am going with a grounded brewing BIAB controller because I like everything controlled on one panel including the pump. I will be brewing in my garage because I doubt SWMBO will be happy if I did it in the house (my other hobby I used the oven to oven cure paint...

Just out of curiosity will putting the probe in a extension so it isn’t sticking far into the kettle cause temp errors? I could se the bag preventing circulation of the wort into the probe without circulating it through a T.

Found this in my searches, the website says out of stock but you can email them since it’s built to order. Don’t know much more about it than the website though. https://www.groundedbrewingtechnologies.com/products/30a-biab-control-panel

I think this is what I’m going to go with, it is slightly bigger than my original planned kettle, already has the electrical built in and I am really only concerned with the temperature control for striking and boil since I plan to do the insulation method during mashing. I think dropping a...

It’s all so simple....

This is what I was looking at when I said reasonable priced temp controller https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MZ7A21Y/ref=sspa_dk_detail_4?psc=1&pd_rd_i=B01MZ7A21Y

Ok, so what I envisioned of electric brewing was on a hot plate, apparently it’s elements in the pot. I see there are elements designed for different sized brew pots as well as what appears to be water heater type elements. For a DIY type person what are the recommended way to go? I see inkbird...

Qualifying remarks about my setup, I live in Louisiana (Shreveport) so the weather is decent most of the year. I intend to do most my brewing in my carport, but if the weather is cold I can brew in my shop. I installed a 240 in the shop for my welder and have the ability to drop a line in the...

Sorry to post what I’m sure has been asked 100’s of times. I’ve decided that the start of my brewing career will be BIAB, however what is the cons and pro’s of gas v electric? To me gas is easier temp control, but at the cost of propane to heat (5 and 10 gal batches). I have ordered a 15 gal...

Hello all, been lurking here for the last 5 months or so to pass the time (deployed) and want to up my brewing game, so I decided to join. I have done the Mr Beer kits in the past as a curiosity with decent results, but brewing my own from actual recipes and experimenting sounds a lot more fun...
