It is not realy an issue to plug them in separate circuit. The breaker pannel is about 5' from where i plan to brew. I will be able to make a circuit only the eKeggle. With 2x 2000w heater can i plug them direct without controller? Like run the 2 element until boil and unplug one element to...

Thx for the quick answer! I cant open the link right now im on my phone at job. Yestersay i looked to the wiring of a 240v element and i found that i need a 240v 20/30a gfci breaker.. Is there a way to find one that is affordable? Look like this small breaker will cost more than the ekeggle...

Hi all, im still doing extract batch but i am gathering everything i need to make the jump to all grain. Im still in apartment so i cant use a propane burner and stove top is not realy an option to boil 5g.. i would like to know first of all, can i do full boil in a pony keg? i'm only doing...

Hi!, i just made a yeast starter this week from yeast slurry. I was planning to use it for my IPA that i brew friday but finaly the starter wasnt ready so i used notty dry yeast. So now i do not need the yeast starter, can i just cold crash it and keep the slurry? Do i need to wash the...

Thank you, i'm learning a lot from you guy! I always think it was 24h for a starter! I'll look tomorrow if i pitch the dry yeast or if my starter is good. This was the first time i keep/wash my yeast cake. If i end up pithing the notty i will keep the starter to see if the yeast grow and how...

Hi, tomorrow is brew day and im hesitating about yeast. I'm brewing a IPA around 1.071 OG. I did a yeast starter yesterday with old slurry but i think the yeast is all dead.. No activity for 24h. So.. i still have 1 pack of nottingham yeast. Is it enought? i will rehydrate it. Other...

Hmm i never try! i will go try it out and if it work i will do this. else i will use the classic shaking method ! thank you

Thanks for the reply. I dont know now if i will use my homemade stir plate ( never used it before ) or by shaking it. If i want to use the stir plate i am limited to a 1L flask and i dont know if this is enought for a 1.071 beer. If 1L is not enought i will use a plastic bottle ( 4L ) so i can...

Is there a probleme to make a starter 48h before pitching? I have old yeast slurry in my fridge and i wanna know if it is still viable. Making the starter tonight will let me some time to buy fresh yeast tomorrow if the yeast slurry is not good. I'm asking this because i always read " Make a...

Hi i would like to know if 1 pack of nottingham is enought for 5g of this beer?

Hi all! Its been a long time since last brew, i where really busy this winter. So last brew was in october. I had put the yeast cake into different small jar ( maybe 1 cup in each ) i did not had time to wash the yeast from the cake so i put it like that. I want to know if i can brew with it...

Forget last post, i just found where tu change the mash! I only have one question about that on beersmith, what is the difference betwen; Single infusion, full body, batch sparge Single infusion, Medium body, batch sparge Single infusion, light body, batch sparge thank you.

Thank's for quick answer! Can i change the "fly sparge" to "batch sparge" in beersmith? Batch sparge seems more easier! I already read all the " How to brew " book and it help me a lot. Tally350: you said that is not necessary to do a Mash out, so in this case(exemple in post 1) do i need to...

Hi, i'm on the way to brew my first All-grain batch. I downloaded the trial version of beersmith to learn how tou use the program before doing my first all grain batch. But here is something i try to understand in the mash steps; (this come from a beersmith recipes) Mash In Add...

Thank you everyone! I think i will look for a coleman xtreme but maybe not a 52qt. Something smaller since i will brew more 1.060 beer than beer higher than this. Is the manifold work better or the stainless steel line?

10g round cooler are not and option for me since i cant find them locally. If i take a 10g square ( like coleman xtrem ) is the grain bed will be good with only a 5 gallon batch in? And what aboutel all the dead space? Is it bad? Easy way would be the roud 5 g cooler but i dont want to end up...

Hi all, i'm an extract brewer and i want to change to all grain for my next batch! I would like to know, wich size of mash tun ( cooler type ) should i need. I read that i should have somethig that give a good grain bed, so nothing to big. I only brew 5g batch. I would like to try strong...
