Thanks for the help. Sorry i didn't reply sooner but i just figured out that it was a second kreausen. Apparently that bottle got a little extra priming sugar. I got a call today at work from my wife that went something like this. "Hey Dumb A$$. One of your bottles just exploded in the...

Could one use the 30amp switches as a temporary setup. I plan to also go electric but funds are short at the moment and was wondering the same as the original post. Thanks Rock Chalk Chris

Just bottled an India brown ale that was well over target OG. Hit 1.076 (planning for 1.065) Pitched Safale 05 in primary for 9 days hit 1.012. Dont have a secondary fermenter yet so i went ahead an bottled with plans to condition for an extended period because of this. So i just checked...

So my funds are limited but i can get a 3.6cf Danby freezer for about 100 dollars Any one convert one this small to a keezer and how many kegs can you get in it. Will run CO2 from the outsides. Looking to do pick nick taps at first then upgrade to a legit setup. Thanks Rock Chalk...

OK I need to be convinced on which one to build. Which one is more fastest at cooling wort and about how much water do you need to cooler a 10 gallon batch? Looking for some first had experice. Would go with a plate chiller but dont like the idea of crud getting stuck in it. Thanks...

thanks PJ

I just cut of my lids for my keggle. The jig got stuck in a couple spots and the stainless heated up red hot a couple times. These areas are discolored now. Do i need to treat the areas so that they do not rust or will they be ok because i didn't get them as how as if welding on a...

We dont drink that much tea on this side of the pond. Ive seen them though, i use to be a corrections officer and our inmates had them for making coffee as well as other things you dont want to know about. I know those are 220v. How many watts are they and how fast do they heat your boil. Im...

Thats exactly what im looking for. Sent Ornagevang a PM to see if he ended up with a diagram. Thanks Rock Chalk Chris

BF I was sure with the size of wire i wouldnt be able to control both. Would be to much for it and i dont want to burn down my house. Cyberpacker A Pid may be simpler. May have to check on Ebay and try to find plans for a simple control panel. If you know of any good threads i would...

I have a 10/3 220v line originally ran to my garage for an air compressor. Would i be able to run an electric HLT and Boil Kettle with a 5500W 240V element. My neighbor is an electrician and he said 10/3 will handle 30A. Just wanting to make sure that im going to be able to do what i need...

HELLS YEAH Did an India Brown Ale today and got 70% efficiency. Thanks everyone for your help Rock Chalk Chris

Walker Just double checking. These are ment to be used as the cord from the kettle to the control panel and the panel to the power source correct? Rock Chalk Chris

So with a pump i would just watch how much it suck out of the HLT and cut it off when i reach my calculated strike/sparge water mark. Thanks for the help Chris

Ok. Was just wondering how you guys with big set ups measure your strike and sparge water. Ive been using a single vessel as a HLT/Kettle and collecting my sparge water in a bucket then draining mash tun to the kettle and spargeing from the bucket. I get the exact amount of strike water needed...

OK, I just learned a third lesson. One that is probably more important than the other two. Men; what ever you do. Do not (however the hell you would) give your wife the impression that you are going to pickup her mothers day gift and come back with a Sanke Keg. She will be pi$$ed off and...

Im thinking about giving it a try Wife loves Riesling and theres a great town not to far from here thats an old German settlement and they have a great wine making background. Just made a Blonde ale with lemon and orange peel and the wife loves it and is "bribing" me to make more. Rock Chalk...

Two valuable lessons that i have learned this weekend 1. Every other or third batch should be one that your wife/husband/or significant other likes. 2. Every couple of batches should be one that your brother in-law or other equipment hookup likes especially if he works for Pepsi and gets...
