Planning on brewing this soon. Not sure about the Corn Sugar addition at 30 min. What does it add? a few more gravity point? I may omit this unless you think it would be a deal breaker!! Thanks for sharing; sounds like a great beer

Ok. Thanks for your input everyone. I will have an electrician come and install a GFCI hot tub device on the system. Now in order to minimize costs I want to figure out as much as possible before he comes here and charges me 100$ per hour Here is my entire setup. A 50A 240v plug straight out of...

I have now bought a proper brewing element with an element casing and a ground on the element. In other words it is back to its original state. I do not have a GFCI plug but didn't have any the numerous other times I brewed beer. I will have an electrician come and check it out even though it's...

I have now modified the connection. I will order the hot pod shown above but since I have to brew tomorrow I installed an electrical box so it is grounded properly. Also secured the hot wires with silicon tape.

How can I ground the element? High Gravity Brew (where I bought the system) cut a small piece of the plastic on the element and drilled a small hole at the base of the element. I am not equipped to do this. HOw about simly extending the wire to the kettle handle? Would that work?

Thanks for your input. I just measured the element unplugged and got nothing. plugged the cord back and it is fine now. I don't get any reading. I only get a measure when I put both probes on the plug which is normal that would be the resistance of the element. tried many times before putting...

Hi! Bonjour, I am suppose to brew a batch for a christmas party that is taking place on December 15th. The beer will be bottled... I have had planed to brew for few weeks now but something always got in the way... I was ready last weekend but got an electric shock from my brewing system. Trying...

I am measuring 25 with one probe in the water and one probe at the end of the power cord on the plug but this is the new element I just installed. Would it give me this reading if the element is not grounded properly? How does an infinite reading shows on a multimeter? Thanks UPDATE This is...

Ok... I replaced the element and the new one is working fine. I saw y9our email after I disconnected the one that is potentially damaged. If I immerse the old element in water (except the base and connectors of course) would I be able to measure leakage? I have a multimeter and when I set it...

the wall outlet is a 220 plug like a dryer so no GFCI on it Dont you think it is very unlikely the short comes from the element? More chances it was coming from the chugger pump that got water on it, no?

Thanks for your input/questions The element seems to be working still. I bought the brain and system (except kettles) from High Gravity. It is the EBS III-D it seems to have been replaced by the following...

Background and setup Basic All-Grain with 3 pots: HLT, Mash and Boil Kettle. HLT and Boil Kettle each have electric element, not the mash which is HERMS with a coil going thru the HLT. The brain is 220V and also have an electric pump Last week, I was cleaning up my electric brewing system and...

Anyone tried to brew this using Carstan Light instead of Crystal 20? Couldn't find C20 so I have German Pilsner, Marris Otter and Light Carastan 17L Thanks

here is mine. Saison with 3 Brett vrai and one with Argousier

Anyone tried adding other spices such as coriander, lemongrass, pink peppercorn or grain of paradise. I haven't tasted the beer or brewed it so may be you could tell me how you think these spices would complement this recipe. thanks

The only time I experienced band aid off flavour was when brewing a saison with belgian yeast. After isolating the different probable causes i came tot the conclusion that the chlorine in thw water was the issue. Not sure where you live and if they increase chloramine in summer time and if your...

Just reading everything I can find about JP dregs and growing a house culture from these. I love JP beers. I totally understand I will not get the same distribution of bugs if I grow a starter from the dregs but will I get something similar and very good? Is it better than using commercial...
