Not trying to hijack this thread but I also just bottled a brown ale a couple weeks ago and I'm very interested in this honey bottling technique. So would just just add a little bit of honey to each bottle and then fill or would it be better to mix a batch of honey in the bottling bucket instead...

This is exactly what I think it is. I could see my finger prints and all. Thanks for clearing this up and thank you for all your help. I really appreciate all of the feedback and thank you all again for taking the time to respond.

That did the trick. The stir plate is up and running and after using the black wire and removing the yellow wire from the equation it's running much faster and holds a vortex in the flask. Last question is, is there any danger letting this thing run when I'm not home with any wires touching or...

Thanks I'll let you know as soon as I try this out tonight! I just got an email that my stir bar delivered so hopefully it works and I can test it out! Thanks again for the help.

Ok so the way I have mine hooked up I have the Red to the hot wire, the yellow to the negative and the black is not hooked up. Could this be the issue with the fan running slow or should it not run at all like this? I'm going to swap out the yellow and black wire when I get home and try that.

I don't have another fan on hand I can try but I'll pick another one up just to be sure. Also I've read ten times that the middle wire on the fan is useless and not needed. Is leaving this out of the equation part of the problem? Should it be added to either end of the power supply?

How can I tell if a fan is ac or dc? I'm guessing this is the problem since both power supplies aren't working strong enough and I know the 2nd one ran two other fans I've had.

Everything is hooked up correctly. I know this because the fan works the exact same through the pot and switch as it does straight to the power supply. I've tried two power supplies now both say output is 12V - 500mA and on was .2A and the other was .3A. The second power supply was actually...

Thanks all! Very encouraging and I appreciate the responses!

Great! Thanks for all the feedback guys. I know I've been a little impatient with my first batch as I just couldn't wait to try it. I will definitely let things go longer and I've taken diligent notes as well to keep improving. I'll be sure to let these bottle condition for a few more weeks and...

I have another little power supply with all of the same specs but it's .3A. I assume this will work? I'd test it now but I'm at work I'll have to wait until I get home.

12V AC Adapter Primarily used to power up fans. Each adapter can power up to 4 of our fans. •Input Voltage (nominal): 100-240VAC •Input Current (max): 0.2A •Output Power Rating: 6W •Output Voltage: 12V •Output Current: 500mA •DC Output...

Thats what I thought. I'll post a link for the fan.

I tested the fan with the power supply directly before I hooked it up to the pot and it was the same speed. I don't have a meter to gauge the voltage. The Power supply has two wires and the fan has three. I belive the middle wire on the fan is not hooked up to anything and was not needed. I...

My questions was about my current power supply being too weak, not too strong. With my current set up it barely spins my fan at all and I'm not sure why because it says on the adapter that it is 12v. Neat looking setup BTW!

Thanks All. It was a brewer's best Englsih Brown Ale Kit. Here was the recipe. 3.3 lb Maris Otter LME 2 lb Amber DME 8 oz. Caramel 60L 4 oz. Chocolate 6 oz. Carapils 1 oz Brewers Gold Hops 1.5 oz UK Golding Hops Cleaned all brewing and fermenting equpiment with PBW. Used 2.5 gallons...

So I just finished making a diy stir plate and everything seems to work great other than the speed of the fan is very weak. The power supply specs are: Input 100-240V, 0.2A Max Output 12V, 500mA I thought in all the research I read that 12V would have been plenty but I don't know that...

Hey all. So I did my first batch of home brew about 4 1/2 weeks ago and just cracked open my first home-brew. :mug: I think it turned out good but definitely not great and I was looking for some feedback on what may be the cause. As far as I know everything went very smooth. Everything was...

Thanks for the responses guys. I wasn't too worried about it just wanted to confirm that everything would be alright. I did order 1 extra airlock this time so I will have three of them after my delivery today and only two fermenters. I also have an extra racking cane an extra hose and a few...

So after brewing my first batch of beer about 3 weeks ago I knew I wasn't going to be able to wait until it was finished for another so on Saturday I bought another fermenter and started a second batch. The one thing I forgot was to buy a 2nd airlock and I didn't realize this until about 4:00 on...
