I bought two of these but haven't began to use them yet. http://www.tescopumps.com/servlet/the-275/809PLHS--809-809BRHS/Detail They do not have a plug on them. I can measure the inlet size when I get home.

This helped clear it up for me. http://www.draftbeerinfo.com/2009/04/23/easy-swap-between-homebrew-and-commercial-beers-with-swivel-nuts/

The reason Kal can use 20AMP term strips is because the heating elements don't go through them. http://www.theelectricbrewery.com/control-panel-part-2?page=13 If you want to wire yours through them you will need 30AMP strips or higher.

He has a 7A fuse to protect it.

Looks great. One thing, I think the "side tabs" on your hopper are supposed to go on the inside. http://www.monsterbrewinghardware.com/images/prod_basehop_img2_lg.jpg

I ordered two. I will be pissed if I get these and the magnet isn't coated.

I have a cabinet I built with plywood and 2" of foam. I can get down to 44F with my ac unit. It has a thermostat adjustment screw that allows this. I can ferment lagers from about Sept. to May depending on the weather. I have my AC venting into the garage. In the middle of summer this...

For a point of reference, I have $981 in my 50 amp, Kal clone, control box. That includes shipping on all items. If you have trouble finding something let me know and I can point you to a supplier.

I stole this from earlier in the thread.

I received mine yesterday and it looks great. At this price you cannot go wrong.

I am following the sticky at Kal's site, except I am only using two heating elements. I will use 30A fuses between the contactors and the element receptacles. http://www.theelectricbrewery.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=24918

Which 50A components are you finding so expensive? I am building a KAL clone with 50A components and find them similar in price.

I am glad someone said it.

I would like to see how the pump performs with boiling liquids.

I just adjusted the thermostat "adjustment" screw. I then plug my AC unit into the outlet that is hooked up to the Ebay controller. I have tested mine down to about 42 degrees.

I am fairly new to BeerSmith as well. I took the Pot and Cooler presets and worked from there. I would estimate your boil off at 1 gallon/hour. The tun deadspace is easy to measure(fill with water and drain then measure how much is left in the tun). The thing is you have keep adjusting your...

I bought the Milwaukee 600 from a vendor on Amazon (not sure which). When it arrived the probe was completely dry (not sure if that is normal). I could never get a repeatable reading. I ended up throwing it away. I am currently looking at a more expensive model.

I am not arguing with your assumption, as I have not tried it myself. He does however address this on the linked page. Q: Can't I do this same thing using my counter-flow/plate chiller? A: Yes, you can. Several people have reported good results using their counter-flow devices. Just run the...
