    Brewmasters Warehouse

    Are you serious, you closed for only 6" of snow? LOL The wife and I shoveled 4" of snow Sat morning by hand (it wasn't worth starting the snowblower), then we left for the day came back to 6" more snow. We left it till morning, then fired up to snowblower to clean the drive so we could pull...

    OK I did something really wrong with this heatstick

    of course, both the sink and the neutral are still grounded and at the same potential. THE PROBLEM occurs when you have an ungrounded heating element and the hot conductor touches the chrome which is resting against the pot. Then the pot has 120 volt potential when compared to sink ...

    OK I did something really wrong with this heatstick

    So what, you think I cant read? Maybe you think I haven't seen the NEC? If that is not attitude what is. A quiz? really. If you wish to list "YOUR QUIZ" and discuss them, I'm game. But I only consult the NEC when I'm getting paid. Not to argue with someone. Heck, I may even learn something...

    OK I did something really wrong with this heatstick

    "But what happens if the neutral gets shorted out to ground during construction? Anyone? Anyone?" So, what does happen? (ground ties back to the exact same place in the panel as the neutral. Your words.) It will work fine. you can put a meter on it, the hot will read 115 volts to ground, the...

    How much DME do I need to carbonate a 5 gal keg?

    Don't know about taste, but it will allow a person to carbonate more kegs than they have room for on tap. I find it helps the seal also. I've pressurized to 30 lbs without sugar, and went back the next day to find barely any pressure at all, making me wonder what would it have done if I...

    OK I did something really wrong with this heatstick

    Yep, check NEC article 210.2, which real basically states add up all continuous loads and multiply by 1.25 to find the overcurrent protection needed. (using some basic math you can do the same by multiplying by 80% or .8 times the size of breaker to find out how much continuous load you can...

    Johnson Temp Control Dangerous?

    Oh and I wouldn't worry too much about it. UNLESS you see an unmarked van with weird antennas parked nearby or some nerdy types with what look to be small handheld antennas roaming the neighborhood pointing them at everything

    Johnson Temp Control Dangerous?

    " Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference, in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his/her own expense." It is against fcc regulations to cause interference, So if you was to put it where it caused interference...

    Perlicks stick

    Exactly how slight is slight? I have five of them and they dont stick. I can however feel a real slight resistance as it moves off of its seat. I do believe this resistance is necessary otherwise the faucet would just open on its own. Due to the design there is also the co2 pressure to...

    control panel on/off switch

    By using a momentary switch, you will need a holding circuit to keep the circuit energized when button is released. If you lose power you will need to push the start to re-energize the circuit. Useful when you want to control equipment restarts. If you use a simple on/off switch (IE...

    My keggle dip tube problem

    Quote: 'what are you doing on the outside of the keg? Just draining out of the valve? Yeah but the leaky threads from the coupler on the inside of the keg break the syphon as soon as the liquid level reaches them and I have to tip the damn thing to empty the last half gallon.' I'm also still...

    I believe that is the holiday beer I made last year. I brewed it in Sept or Oct of last year and let it condition till about Xmas. It didn't have any strange aftertaste.

    Can I use one pot for brew pot and mash tun?

    +3 to brew in a bag and definitely 15 gal or larger. i am also using the converted sanke and have boiled over with just 6 gal. Some of my batches are now 13.5 gals, and I have to take a lot more precautions to prevent boilovers.
