Simple explanation I found that saved me.

Ok , got it finally! I didn't realize the neutral running into control panel needs to be wired directly to GFCI breaker , not to the neutral bar. Thanks for chiming in!

Thanks Johnny, do you have a pic of spa panel, were you tripping the main breaker or spa panel GFCI? How did you reconfigure White wire? Any little bit helps!

I have my panel completely wired, the GFCI pops when I power up. I'm trying to troubleshoot so I removed all wiring from main contactor except what is in the photo. GFCI still breaks. If I remove the neutral from contactor it doesn't break. Are the 2 hot leads interchangeable? The only wired...

Thanks Doug, I think I will run 10/2 wire to the elements, 2 hots and a ground. I have not bought the elements yet, can you suggest cost effective 5500 watt elements?

So I've decided to pull another wire from panel to the spa GFCI so illI'have 4 coming into spa panel. After lookinge charts, it looks like I could get away with running 12g cord from my controllers 6 feet to my 5500 watts heaters in my boil and HLT. Is that what most do? I am a bit confused on...

Hi all, I've done some searching, but have not found the perfect answer. I've got a 30 amp breaker in my panel that runs my air conditioning. It is supplied by a 10-2 wire ( white,black,uninsulated ground). My plan is to tap that wire for a 50 amp GFCI spa panel to supply power to my 30 amp...

Thanks! I think I'll fill a couple kegs and put it co2 till I get back

Somehow on the bottom of my sanke fermenter I developed a couple tiny holes, are there sanitary ways to repair or braze to fill in the hole? Contemplating bringing to a welder or drilling it out for a valve. Any other suggestions? Thanks

I've brewed a beer og 1.082 and am using Czech pilz yeast. It is currently fermenting at 53 degrees and am hoping the fermentation will be complete after 2-3 weeks at which time I will raise the temp up to 60 degrees for 2 days or so for diacetyl rest. I've read that there is no need to rack the...

Just wondering if I can protect this circuit? Or can only a 4 wire be gfci protected?

In the most simple , safe , situation, could the 5500 w element be hooked up to a three wire 220 plug using no controller, just a switch?

I would like to build a simple on off , 15g BK. Could I use a 5500w element running on 220 30A circuit to achieve boil then switch over to 120 20a to maintain boil? Instead of building a control panel. Thanks for any input. I generally boil about 14 gallons.

I have been having great results pitching a single smackpack into my 13 gallon batches fermenting in my sanke fermenters. I usually buy a fresh pack right before i brew,smack it then pitch it when i'm done,active fermentation by morning in most cases. I try to cool wort to about 74 degrees and...

I to have a beer line bubble issue. I see small bubbles coming from both ends of the hose,corny and tap. First poured beer is half foam,once the line clears its just fine with a good carbonation level. I have 10_12 feet of beer line,am serving at about 45 degrees, at about 12 psi. My beer line...

Im leaving town amd wont be back for a month or two.all my stuff will be in storage. I may be able to leave a few kegs in my keggerator at a friends, but I wont be able to keep all cool. Most of the beers will be in the 5to6 % range.thanks

Just wondering if anybody has experience using hop extracts. I know a guy working at an extract plant here in yakima wa ,and might be able to get some.

Just put a 10$ timer on mine, going to cycle it on for a half hour every two or three hours depending on outside temp(freezer is in garage)

Thanks, do they make a 15 gallon cooler?
