Well, I am not a web or network infrastructure guy, I do hands-on help desk work, rebuilding PCs and backing up data and running around with a HandyCam to take recordings. So I'm not going to pretend like I know what they're dealing with or how to fix the problem. If what you say is true, I...

I logged in, confirmed my entry, and it does show as paid. I hope everyone will continue to exhibit patience with them, I'm sure they are mortified at what a technical disaster this was -- but, as an IT guy, I know these things "just happen" sometimes, especially when you switch to a new piece...

Woo! I finally got thru on St. Paul's site. Success!

Yeah, seeing the same here, their servers are getting slaughtered. Milwaukee appears to be completely broken - while the others at least let you register your profile... But I cannot add an Entry for the life of me, 503 Unavailable every time. Curses... If I weren't using up a free entry...

$55 per, before shipping? Noooope. Guess I'll stick to the kegs I have. If I run out, wellp, guess it's time to step up to sankey kegs instead? ;)

Ahhhh I see it now! I didn't have my bearings / was looking for the wrong thing so I didn't see it at first in the pics earlier in the thread. Looks just like a guitar pot. Awesome. Thanks. At first I thought it was some kind of pressure relief valve? :drunk: Seriously, with the style of knob...

Coupon code or something?? Because I see their prices as ~$22/lb for either Citra or Simcoe... wtf??

Because the HLT is a stand-alone unit. It has an off/on switch for master power, and a Love controller that handles temp. control for the element. (Also has a float switch.) So, I'd set the HLT to my desired strike (then, sparge) temps - and I'd use the freestanding Pump Assembly with built in...

Sierra Nevada Ruthless Rye 2013! LOVE this beer, glad it's back!

A question and a comment. First the comment: I like how you've wired it to use the same, single PID - for both the Kettle Auto mode and the Pump Auto mode. Smart thinking and a good way to keep PID/parts cost down. Also, good mounting method on to the brew stand, looks very well built & rugged...

I've heard a few folks say they don't like S-05 - or they don't like Safale in general - but I totally dig it. S-05 and S-04 are my go-to keep-in-the-fridge yeasts. I do like me a bit of Nottingham once in a while, too. I even save my S04/S05 yeast cakes for re-use, too! That *really* cuts the...

Yeah - Just stumbled (back) across your build thread (again) and am re-reading / figuring out what the phase angle SSR's do. That might be a great way to skip having to solder. I made a note to myself in my pre-build planning thread. Thanks for pointing that out! And thanks for helping me...

Okay, so car batteries aren't happening, we can leave that well enough alone. I've done some more thinking, and here is what I've come up with, in terms of what needs to be done, and how I want it to be done. I'm not ready to start buying parts this very second, so a wiring diagram is not yet...

That makes a lot more sense! So if your goal is to add a Ranco or Johnson unit, you would plug the 120V "pigtail" in to your Temp Controller, and then the controller would plug into the marked "heat" outlet. And likewise, if you were building your own EBC II from scratch and never planned to...

OK, I am resurrecting two threads in one day, Bad Chriso! But I have a question for you. I am trying to understand the schematic. I am not very experienced with electricity at all - I only work on computers, not "electronics". Above, the "Plug2" is filled in with dark black, not hollow - I am...

OK, perfect. Thanks. That's exactly what I couldn't quite tell - if those were two different things plugging into the panel, or if it was just one In, one Out. Thanks again for responding! Cheers!

Ugh, my home has wire runs just like you describe (plastered & painted over) that make me toss and turn at night thinking about the ways they could cause calamity....

Hi. Sorry to resurrect the thread, but this looks interesting to me - Like a DIY version of this retail unit: http://www.highgravitybrew.com/ProductCart/pc/Electric-Kettle-Controller-306p3084.htm Can you quickly confirm - the switch there, I can't read the numbering, is the top position 100%...

I can't get that link to work - Because I browse with "40 posts per page" turned on, It gives me a dead link that just takes me to the top of the very last page. - For anyone else also having this problem, the post he's referring to is #1736. If you are having the same problem as I am, try this...

That's a nice lookin' recipe. I have 6oz of Amarillo that I do want to use up while it's still mighty fresh. Hmmmm. Got that rollin' around in the noggin' now...
