    Who’s A Skinhead?

    What kind of razors are you using that it takes so long? I use Harry's razors. They say that they're not for shaving a head, but I can't figure out why.

    Conical Fermenter Sample Valve Clogged With Yeast

    I have a Spike CF10. It never would have occurred to me to try to transfer from the sample valve. Are you putting a piece of tubing over the spout of the valve? I always transfer out of the racking valve which is the tri-clamp port at the lowest point. Here's a pic showing that. The sample...

    Accidentally ran my element partly dry and my gfci tripped -- is it toast?

    This sounds exactly like what happened to me back in March, when I accidentally dry-fired my element. The next time I tried to brew, the GFCI breaker was toast. And so, of course, was the element.

    Easy-Peasy (no glue) Keezer Build with lots of pics

    Sorry, I didn't see this last post until just now. My torpedo keg is clean, and all I'm adding to the keg is clean water. I'm not sure what yuckies could grown in there given the lack of a food source.. At any rate, I've had to refill the Torpedo keg several times and never have I seen...

    Dead GFCI breaker?

    Decided yesterday to follow up with Amazon, since I was on Day 3 of requesting a warranty replacement and no response. After maneuvering through several self-referential loops that kept taking me back to my starting point, I finally got to a point where I could talk to Amazon via phone, and...

    Dead GFCI breaker?

    I was going to but this is as good a time as any. I had a friend who's an electrician come by yesterday to help figure this out. We isolated the bad breaker, then we hooked up the panel that runs the system to the other 30-amp breaker I have in the box (it's not GFCI, runs a ceiling heater)...

    Dead GFCI breaker?

    Can't imagine how that could have happened, but weirder things have happened. The wire from the panel in the garage to the outlet into which I plug the panel is in a surface mount conduit/channel. I can pull the cover of that channel off and see what's inside, but I can't imagine what could...

    Dead GFCI breaker?

    No, that was the first thing I tried. :) They're supposed to have a limited lifetime warranty, and this time I'll follow that up--which is a good thing given their expense. What I don't understand about them is that when I remove the load (unplug the panel) you'd think it would reset, but it...

    Dead GFCI breaker?

    Well, I'm back. The new 30-amp GFCI breaker that I installed back in April (just about 4 months ago) now won't work. Keeps popping. What I don't understand is this: The system worked fine the last time I brewed, about 4 weeks ago. Everything fine. Had the panel on 3-4 times, never an...

    EZboil Makes My Lights Flicker

    Sounds like a new line for a greeting card: "Every time I see you it makes my lights flicker!"

    Who’s A Skinhead?

    I have skin showing on my head, but the last thing I want to be associated with is the term "Skinhead." A couple years ago I was having pics taken showing how I fill bottles from my keezer, and one was taken from above--showing the most horrible weedy garden patch of hair on top of my dome...
