Got it. thanks guys

I am in the process of hooking up my control panel for a basement electrical brewery. I have bought a Spa panel to include with my controller. Most spa's, from what I have seen have the spa panel directly to the hot tub. My question is if I put the Spa panel, attached to the control panel...

thank everyone for their info.

it is in a glass carboy with the airlock still on it with star san the air lock. I am planning on kegging it soon and putting it in the beer fridge. And yes it has hit the final gravity, although I haven't checked it in a while.

I have stored my Star San in a keg with Co2. when I need it I can just hook it up and push the star san into the new clean keg ,shake it up, then dump the star san and fill again with Co2 and the new beer hoping to not oxygenate the beer. But that takes a keg that wont have beer in it.

My RIS (10%) has been In the glass fermenter for about 6 months at about 64 F. I have seen where I should have pitched a second round of yeast in it. Is it too late to pitch that second round of yeast? I would like to eventually put it into a keg, but don't want to do it if I put in more yeast...

As far as sanitizing I plan to just put a little starsan in the keg (as I always do) seal it, put co2 on it and leave it until I need it. Shake it up to get all the starsan on the inside of the keg and drain when I need to use it.

Just tried it today. Rinsed the keg before I used the keg washer, it was nice to just let it do its work and gives me time to mess with other things. I used hot water in the keg washer, after it cleaned, I did it again with fresh water because the first rinse was kind of dirty water. I think...

thank you all, dummy here never even thought of adjusting my mash profile again for batch sparging. This was a great help.

With beer smith it gives you the mash temperature and time for that mash ( normally 148 to 156 F for me) It shows me two sets of water for batch sparging both at 168 F. The first one is only about a gallon or so, with the second one more water (maybe 3-4 gallons) at 168 F. I have been doing...

I normally boil some water with PBw and put it in the keg and seal it, shake it, push on the "out" popit to clean out the diptube. then I take everything apart and clean that, then rinse several times. A little star san in the clean keg, and seal it until I need it. But a Friend says this...

Just bought a Mark II keg and carboy washer. It was a suggestion by a friend who loves his. Most info I see shows cleaning with PBW which is something I always do. But with the keg cleaner and using PBW it doesn't show rinsing. I have always thought that you need to rinse the PBW off kegs etc...

I am using 240v 30 amp controller that I built with a 5500 watt element. I will use the float switch to interrupt the line out of the PID to the SSR. Here is a look at it.

looking at this one. It seems to be able to take the heat from the HLT https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M17YYID/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I did put the hops in the primary, but Purging with CO2 is a good idea I have always added Co2 when bottling and kegging but never thought of doing it in the fermenter when adding something. I may need to do this but not sure if will help at this late in the fermenting stage. I added the hops at...

I would like to install a float switch in my electric HLT so the water level won't go past my electric heating element. As we all know these elements need always to be under liquid because if ran dry while on causes the element to fail which can happen if not paying attention while sparging...

Can I dry hop and secondary after 18 days in the primary?

the responses were great, I would like a nicer one and looked at getting a kitchen hood, but darn guys I am pretty cheap. I figure I can always upgrade. Brew on.

What do you guys think of using a plastic storage bin turned up side down to become the Hood for the exhaust fan? I have seen that some people use this, just want some feed back. Give me pros and cons.

Ok kebin58 seems no one wants to answer this, So let me tell you what I have done. I bought a TerraBloom 6" 410 CFM Inline Fan with Variable Speed Controller. From Amazon. this i will be fitted in a plastic tub I probably will buy from Home Depot, unless I find something else to use, which...
