The10mmKid and Brumateur... thank you all for your help in understanding the options and how to get it done. I am going to ponder which route I want to go... haven't bought anything yet! I am not sure if i really need more granularity in my control of the element wattage. My initial plan was...

I contacted Auberins; they stated the following: "Actually the SSVR could not work with any of the controllers. They are exclusive." Why would Auberins state this?... Is the SSVR not meant for this application? I am not 100% sure how this would operate and what type of resolution I would...

Did a quick search... and found the same switch for a little more than half the price: http://www.newark.com/nkk-switches/s823-u/switch-toggle-dpdt-30a-250vac/dp/10X9546 - What do you mean by: 'break-before-make'? - Instead of a toggle switch is there a rotary switch that could be used...

The10mmKid is right... I want to operate the 5500 W element in an Ultra Ultra Low Watt Density Mode (approx. 1375 W?) while mashing to prevent/mitigate the chance of scorching. The PID will cycle the element on and off via a SSR; I don't believe the PID/SSR combo will control the voltage to...

I have been searching through the forum looking to see if someone has designed a e-biab setup that allows for control of a single element (5500 W) with 120V and 240V (I will be using a pid temperature controller). I would use the 120V for controlling my mash temperature and invoke the 240V to...

I have used both water and vodka... no issues either way.

Thanks guys for your help! I forgot to look in the How to Brew book and it help settle the thousands of other questions in my head!! MT

Thanks for the information! Would a circular cooler provide better filtration through the grain bed than a rectangular cooler? or would it really not matter? Thanks, MT

Thanks for all the information! :mug: I do have 2 questions: 1. After the alcohol is concentrated how would you measure the alcohol content? 2. Could you naturally carbonate the beer after this process? (would the yeast still be viable?) Thanks, MT

Hey All, I want to make a MLT, I am still not sure if I want to use a round or a rectangular cooler. 1. What type of cooler is recommended? 2. I think I want to make the manifold out of copper piping; when cutting the slots (or drilling holes) in the pipe do I have to worry about the burr...

#334... Just don't have your bachelor party the night before... I did... the next day I was sporting a black eye and a gash on my forehead! Luckily my wife didn't kill me! Good Luck!! Wishing you the best. MT

Thanks for the info guys!! Do any of you know if there are any recipes out there to make something similar? MT

I had bought it... just had it tonight... It was surprisingly good. Wish it had a little more hop though. I guess I will need to start an experiment. MT

Today I saw for the first time: Blue Moon Golden Knot: http://www.bluemoonbrewingcompany.com/OurBeers/Product/Golden-Knot Has anyone ever tried to brew with grains and grapes? MT

Thanks for the post... I have seen some new kegs online but from different manufacturers... Like I said in the original post I saw that Kegco Kegs don't have the best track record... what other manufacturers should I consider (I don't want to buy a dank crappy keg)?

Hey all, My wife wants to buy me a few corny kegs for Christmas and she asked me which ones I wanted... I was wondering, which ones should I invest in (I was looking for some new ones)? I saw a review on Kegco Kegs and they were less than stellar. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! MT

Hey all, I have been doing research on fermentation chambers :confused:... This past summer I was unable to keep the temperatures I wanted (too much fluctuation). I have seen two main types: Son Of Fermentation Chiller 38DD Mother of a Fermentation Chiller I see that there are...

Thanks all... hopefully it will carbonate well! MT
