I took pictures of where I had them going. It does looks like I had them screwed up now that I look at my diagram. I had the two wires that should have gone from the top of each of the two pole breakers into the the terminal were actually going from the bottom of the circuit to the terminal. The...

Upon further review I found a melted connection where the black wires come together shown in the picture. The top left wire feeds the BK circuit breaker so I am assuming this is the issue and not the breaker. I will replace those wires and the connection but what would have caused that?

I’m located on the VT/NH border but will pay shipping to 05088. Looking for 2-4 5 gallon and 1-2 3 gallon. Please reply to thread if you PM me. Thanks in advance!

So I just tested it again…works for about 20-30 seconds then loses power as tested through the circuit.

I measured it at the output of the circuit, before going to the SSR. I measured it when it should have been sending 240V to the element. I think I need to know what to test to figure out what failed. What was weird to me is the loss of power to the element without tripping the circuit.

A few of you have helped me get my second hand diy 50A controller up and running. It’s done probably 8 batches without a hitch since I got it going earlier this year. I installed a hop stopper from Kal this week—moving my element slightly (I’m talking the end of it away from the TC fitting less...

True, but I’ve been brewing AG for 13 years on a few different systems and this is the first time I’ve had anything weird.

I grabbed the sample as the pump sputtered the last bit of wort into the kettle. It’s not adding up for me either. BUUUT I think Doug is right that I started transferring before conversion was complete. I had written down 1050 as first running gravity thinking it didn’t make sense, but if it was...

Interesting...So I've got 3 gallons of dead space below my false bottom. I mashed in with about 9 gallons of water because of that--to be honest it was a little thin because I misread the sightless. And the sparge was about 9.5. So maybe I mashed thin, it didn't convert fully, and I "under...

I did stir several times and I do think the suction from the pump is causing the grain bed to compact on that side of the pot. I think I'll get a center dip tube and slow the flow rate down during recirc--do you think that would be enough? I can also look into creating multiple pickups. Would...

I've done 4 batches on my eHERMS system--2 5g and 2 10g. The latest batch, a German pils, was 10 gallons. I sparged at a rate of 1 quart/minute--held pretty consistently throughout--and had a final runnings of 1.035. My MLT has a false bottom and the outlet is simply a port on the side--there...

There is 3 gallons under the false bottom and probably a gallon and a half left behind because of the way the port is cut. So in BeerSmith I forgot to adjust for those three gallons making my mash way too thick. I should have mashed in more liquid and sparged less.

No I’d rather give it to someone locally. This thing is heavy and the shipping/boxing would be more than the burner.

Ok I realize I need to give more info… I have a false bottom that leaves almost 3 gallons below it in the MLT. I typically get about 83-85 brewhouse efficiency and close to 100% mash efficiency when fly sparging a 10 gallon batch. I don’t trust my volume measurements so take that for what it...

I have a 10 gallon eHERMS system but am starting to develops recipes to move to the pro side in the next few years and am brewing 5 gallons most of the time. My first brew at the 5 gallon size was terrible with really bad efficiencies and I collected way too much wort due to a problem in beer...

That makes sense—I already dumped something really stinky in there and the next thing I put in there pushed out that stink. Unfortunately I have no desire to vent it as it isn’t anywhere close to the vent for the house and I’m not going to drill through the rim joist to add another one. I...

I took off the air vent and left it open. There is another p trap down stream where i tied into the house drain. THat P trap was originally for the laundry discharge. Maybe that will keep me from getting the odor? Here’s a pic of all the pipes.

The trap is down stream of the left sink. So it goes straight down from both sinks and over to the left to the trap before leaving the cabinet. It’s a home cheapo product. I’m

Here’s the video.

I’ve got a liberty 404 pump I just installed…the sink I had installed had a lot of soap spilled on it so when I tested the drainage the suds backed up into the other side of the sink and also up the vent (which is about 6-8” above the bottom of the sink). Should I be concerned about this? I have...
