    Brown Recipe Help

    Thanks McKnuckle! It'll should be a fun beer regardless. I appreciate your opinions and experience here. I agree that MO isn't sweet on its own, but I don't have enough experience to agree or disagree with your thoughts. So I'm going to make it with MO this time and next go I'll try 2-row and...

    Brown Recipe Help

    So Briess' data sheet lists Carabrown as a brown malt, which as I understand it is in a different realm than the crystals. It lists recommended usages up to 25% of the grist and this, "10-15% Smooth, more accentuated toasted, biscuity, nutty, graham cracker flavors and slightly dry finish."...

    Brown Recipe Help

    So if I really want to keep the lactose, would I be better with US-05 and/or 2-Row? I have both of those as well. I guess I didn’t really think of Maris as sweetening. Golden Promise, yeah, but for me, never thought Maris.

    Brown Recipe Help

    So the Carabrown I haven’t used before either but I hear it’s like Victory amped up. And 1 lb is all I have. The lactose is because I’m going “breakfast cereal-ish” and looking for that milky creaminess. Ill halve the C-120, maybe halve the lactose too? And add maybe .75 lbs each Munich and...

    Brown Recipe Help

    I’m working on a brown ale with a very specific flavor profile in mind. I’m looking to be quite malty, toasty, and sweet but not cloying. My current recipe has a lot of unfermentables. Also, trying to keep as much of the fruit out as possible and find good balance without the roasty element...

    Ezboil Relays...how do YOU use them?

    Yeah I’d prefer it to be something I don’t have to reprogram every time I brew. Manual is probably easier. And my old Jeep was a 5-speed too. Loved it. [emoji482]

    Ezboil Relays...how do YOU use them?

    I had thought about switching out my 2-position pump switch for a 3-position to use as an “auto” mode where the #2 relay will switch the pump on during mash. Of course, I could also do that by hand. [emoji16]

    Ezboil Relays...how do YOU use them?

    I have just finished my conversion to electric with an Ezboil 300. (I thought I ordered a 320 but I guess not). I currently have one set for my buzzer and the other not in use. So how do YOU use them?

    Something a little off—Control Panel

    Doug, now I remember this residual being mentioned somewhere on here, but didn’t think it would be so drastic without a load on it. I did NOT have the element plugged in when I tested it so I will try that! Thanks for the help. Cheers!

    Something a little off—Control Panel

    I just finished a semi-custom control panel based closely off the Electric Brewing Supply 30 amp BIAB build. I powered it up and almost everything seems to be working right. Turning on the element switch, I hear the clunk of the relay closing and the element light is on, but dim. But it never...

    Main breaker location...why?

    Much like the weather, if you don’t like the code, just a wait a couple years! I don’t intend to move anytime soon, so adhering to code for me is really more about meeting the latest safety standards. The next time an inspector is here, it’ll likely be because I had to replace the panel...

    Main breaker location...why?

    I believe my main question was not written clearly, and while my last question was admittedly a total softball, you also didn’t answer any of my other questions. Perhaps as an inspector you aren’t able to as to limit your liability on a forum such as this. In that case, I wonder why any...

    Main breaker location...why?

    The panel does have knockouts and is rated for 40 circuits. I count 27 poles not including the 100 amp breaker servicing the air conditioner sub panel and the main breaker. I could replace the full size one, and another two 20s with the half size breakers, but depending on how hard it is to get...

    Main breaker location...why?

    I’m getting ready to install a 30 amp GFCI breaker in my main panel and am uncertain about this setup. See picture below. There is empty space to mount additional breakers ABOVE the main breaker. Why was the panel built with the main breakers not at the top? Does it matter? Is there anything in...

    Din Rail GFCI?

    I got pretty lucky as it seems all the breakers are Siemens brand, and this GFCI also is and only $72. https://www.amazon.com/Siemens-MP230GFAP-Circuit-Interrupter-Lockout/dp/B01D4UHZ8M I guess Murray and Siemens are the same?

    Din Rail GFCI?

    They make a WIFI enabled DIN rail breaker, so it seems like a standard 2 pole GFCI would be an easy one. But I guess not. I also don’t want the extra of a spa panel and I found a GFCI breaker for the main panel that is virtually the same price as a spa panel. So I’m just going to go with that...

    Din Rail GFCI?

    Ah well that makes total sense for Home Depot to be selling a device only usable in Europe. [emoji849] So why do I see nobody using an American version of these in their panels? I can’t imagine they aren’t available for USA electrical standards.
