Thanks - I got it off with a little bit of acetone on a paper towel. Now to let it cure.

Done. JB Weld is in there, but some is dripping down the heating element. Any way to get it off when it dries? Or should I try to get it off now?

Got all the stuff for the cedar creek version of the heatstick. Question on connecting the wires to the heating element - does it matter which wire goes on which screw? Green is obv. the ground wire, but I don't see how the other two go.

Perfect - thanks guys. Big help.

Gotcha. So, I'm good with a 1500w heating element, yes? Will one of those be strong enough to supplement my 14000 BTU stove? I'm currently getting 6 gallons of water up to 205*F and need to push it over the edge. Hopefully Lowes has what I need tomorrow. Ghetto Brooklyn Lowes ftl.

So I should get a higher rated GFCI then, yes? That way I can use a 1500w, 120v heating element. Or does the 15A GFCI just mean that it'll trip if it gets above 15A?

The GFCI I have is a 15A/125V. I'm assuming the outlet voltage is the normal 120. I don't know what to look for on the breaker, so here's some pics, lol. and the GFCI

This is a noob question, but how do I figure out what ampage my circuits are? I know very little about electrical engineering. There's an outlet near my stove I use for small appliances and I would plug a heatstick there to supplement my gas stove. How do I figure out the max wattage I can get...

Or not: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f51/allied-1000w-bucket-heater-83419/ I guess I'll need to plan a DIY heatstick.

Found this one too: http://www.amazon.com/dp/MARSHALLTO/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20 Anyone ever used one of these? Looks like it might work.

So about heat sticks- can I buy one somewhere or will I have to build it?

Anyone sell heatsticks? I'm not up for a big DIY project right now. I'm giving my stove a full cleaning. I don't think I can get to the air supply, though. I can't figure out how to lift my range top - it seems locked or bolted down. I dl'd the manual from Frigidaire's website and it didn't say...

Both good ideas - the pot I have only covers one burner. I hadn't thought of getting a squatty wide one... The flame is mostly blue, but has some orange on the tips. I'll look for the air inlet adjustment to see what that does.

I'm trying to move from brewing with friends at their apartments to brewing in my own. I borrowed a buddy's 8g aluminum (it's cheap) pot to see if I could get a 6g boil on my stovetop. The stove is gas and has always been great for cooking, but we're in a rental so it's a standard mid-low...

I'm not doing two separate mashes because I don't have two pots that are large enough and I'd rather not buy another one if I can make this work. But good to know on the mashing specialty grains without base malt. And I should have mentioned - I do plan to use wheat malt extract. But I'd like...

Hi - I'm new here. Haven't been brewing long either - usually joining in with a group of guys that does it regularly and watching/helping. I've been thinking about a way to brew two wheat beers at once and am wondering if this is possible: 1. End product would be a hefeweizen and a...
