OK, watched a YouTube video on start and run capacitors. Now it seems that the capacitor on this motor is a run capacitor, since it is 15uf. So now what?

Yes it is single phase. Sorry the pic showing the info doesn't really show it, but next to the ratio listing it says "Ph. 1". So, I guess what I need to know now is what do I do with the blue " starter" lead? As for the white and black, just connect to 110v AC? Sorry it's been a while since I've...

Hey y'all. I've got a Paterson gear motor that I'm wanting to use to motorize my grain mill, but I don't know how to wire it. There are 5 wires total, a red and yellow run from the capacitor into the motor, then there are black, blue, and white wires coming from the motor for connection. Anyone...

OK. Thanks for that info. Sounds good!

Cool. Thanks! I bet after next month's homebrew club meeting I will have at least one person wanting a scoby. How long does everyone let their kombucha ferment for? I let my last run go 3ish weeks and tasted at 1 and 2 weeks.

So I searched through the forums and couldn't find this topic or answer. Here's my scenario: I made my starter from store bought kombucha in a smaller jar and then transferred the mother to a 2 gallon plastic jar with a spigot to ease removal of the kombucha. It's BPA free (one of those Aladdin...

I would put more yeast in but there is not enough head space in the better bottle to accommodate another round of fermentation. That's why I figured racking back to a primary bucket would give me enough room and then I could rack back to secondary and cold crash when I reach terminal gravity. I...

So I put a batch of cider together recently and now I have a few questions. It is a 5 gallon batch with dark brown sugar and molasses with an OG of 1.068. I put everything together and pitched a packet of US-05 in it on September 29th. As of October 7th (8 days later) the SG reading was 1.028 so...

Thanks! I'm thinking about just making a boxed frame off the end that will house the mill on top and the motor underneath and, of course a bucket to catch the milled grain. Think I'm going to drive it with gears and a chain on a gear motor the owner of my local HBS is hooking me up with. Just...

Thought I would post up my project I have been working on. It's going to be a 2 tier HERMS system with keggles. This project has taught me how to weld as well, so it's already showing its benefits! Threw in a few pictures of the progress. I threw some paint on it to see how it would look and to...

I've looked at the electric brewery website but it doesn't really tell me what I need to know or if it's even possible to run 2 or 3 elements on 110v without drawing too much amperage. I don't really want to completely automate my brewing as that wouldn't be as much fun. I just want to control...

OK so I'm sure there is probably already a thread on this, but my search didn't find me what I'm looking for so I decided to post. If its already posted paste me the link. I recently came into three 15 gallon kegs that I'm going to use in a sort of electric-propane hybrid HERMS system on a...

Nice! Wish there was a lifetime ccw permit here in Missouri. We have to renew every 2 years I believe.

I have a Springfield XD. 45, HiPoint. 45 and 9mm, Mossberg 835 12 gauge pump turkey shotgun, and I'm holding my Dad's AR-15 while he is out of town working. Want to get a little. 22 for plinking for fun sometime. Love me some guns. Gonna get my CCW sometime soon but Missouri is an open carry...

Ya I was thinking the same thing but it's fairly sturdy. At least sturdy enough until I can come up with something better. I just needed some elevation so I can drain my wort into the fermenter. I'm thinking something in steel next. Lol
