    Its a sad day...

    My first brew of which i kegged was just tapped... Saddest part is that I cant brew this weekend, and I wont have my next beer ready to drink for another day or two..

    My nickel and dime eBIAB build

    Well.. I got everything drilled and cut today in the Keggle. Set everything up with the elements, and the 1500w element is working! Only problem is that the 2000w element is sporadic which is bad. Not sure why, but it isnt working right. I'll have to check my connections and see whats wrong...

    Simple PWM Stirplate Controller

    Your lingo makes me wonder why im studying computer engineering. I hate v dividers... Dont get me wrong, they work great and have many applications, i just hate studying and being tested on them.

    My nickel and dime eBIAB build

    What i did is pretty low tech. If you know how to use a philips head screwdriver you can do what i did. Just make sure everything is grounded and you pos goes to positive and neg to negative. 12 Gauge wire will keep you safe for up to 2000w and if you want to go beyond that im sure anyone at...

    Interested in eBIAB, have questions.

    Yeah i probably should, but they have a crazy policy on dogs i usually dont ask them questions because i dont want to drop a the crazy $250 dog fee per dog to register my new pup with them. Thats alot of beer i could brew, and if they come in my apartment to do the fix they would probably...

    Interested in eBIAB, have questions.

    Had already thought of this, and the outlet in my bathroom is NOT GFCI protected. Im not sure why, but it isnt. Stupid planning on whoever built it i guess? Anyway, i already did the build. https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f170/my-nickel-dime-ebiab-build-367874/ It turned out great. Should...

    My nickel and dime eBIAB build

    Thats what i'm doing, but i only have 1, 2000w circuit in my apartment. I plug the 2000w into the GFCI outlet in my kitchen and i have a longer extension cord to run to the 15A circuit in the living room. 2 separate circuits, so 3500w total is no problem if you split it up.

    My nickel and dime eBIAB build

    Thanks, just used some JB weld to stick them in there and seal them shut. They don't let any water in, and they're in weatherproof electrical box so everything is nice and sealed.

    I was thinking the same, or if i need to i'll grab my dremel and get at it. Will take MUCH longer with the dremel, but i've got time. I'll probably grab an elec angle grinder soon so i might just use that if SWMBO's step dad doesnt have one (his garage is a mess)

    My nickel and dime eBIAB build

    So I was given a set of kegs the other day from a coworker. I thought, "Perfect! Now i can do AG!!" And i finally started and semi finished my build. Only took 2 pics, before and after so you'll have to imagine the middle part but wanted to get some feedback. I read all of the posts...

    Interested in eBIAB, have questions.

    I've thought about it, but i was given a keg i'm going to convert to a keggle and do BIAB in that. I think i'll be fine using my 1, 2000w element in the kitchen and run a rated extension cord to a different 15A circuit to a 1500w element. What i planned on doing is getting a project box and...

    Interested in eBIAB, have questions.

    Hey everyone.. So as it says, im interested in going AG with an eBIAB to accomodate my small apartment. I checked my breaker box and i have 1 breaker at 20A for the kitchen. Does this mean i cant use 2, 2000w elements on seperate plugs? Or is the fact that the kitchen is on one 20A breaker...

    In a situation

    I just pulled another sample. It was at an OG of 1.042 and a SG of 1.010 1 week later. I just took another SG and it was still 1.010, 1 week since my last so it is at FG. It tastes amazing (to me of course) no off flavors, tastes etc. I racked it to my keg and started it at 14 psi going down...

    In a situation

    First batch was brewed 2 weeks ago. Racked to secondary at 1 week to make room for the second batch. I bought another 6gal better bottle for another primary but i cant fit 2 better bottles and a bucket in my fridge. Anyone know of very small portable ac units or coolers? I have an extra...

    In a situation

    So, i've brewed 2 batches so far. I converted over my chest freezer with an STC 1000. My situation is that i have my 2 brews in my 7cu ft freezer fermenting. I want to brew today, but i wont have room in the fermenter for the latest brew. My first brew has about 5 days left before i keg it...
