I think i am going to incorporate this into my existing build but I have a question. I have been tossing the idea of putting one of Bobby's 2250W 120v TC elements into my kettle and replacing the 15a plug in my controller (build in my sig) with a 20a one then just using that. Typical boil...

So I got my Exchillerator and I really want to test it out.. .its super cold outside but ill try and brew anyway. I have 4 beers (in image) and 1 cider on tap. I also have my inventory in the image below. What should I brew that doesn't require me to buy a lot more grain. Prefer no lagers since...

@TxBrew .. Thanks for keeping this place up and running. Hopefully ill absorb some more knowledge

Thinking of getting rid of my 14.5g blichmann conical (tri clamp version with leg extensions and casters) it also has a new set of seals. Bought it thinking o was going to do more large batches but didn't. May trade for other stainless fermenter, freezers, etc. $600 obo...

Alcohol wipe + yellow spray paint (they are just plastic bezels). The text was done with my wifes Cricut. I thought about building a second one for a 30A application but havent had time or funds. Those snap in 120v recepticles are limited to 15a so you would have to use somethign different...

You could build something like mine.. i really like it. Has basically everything you asked for, but i dont have an element off switch..i just use the power off switch on the back. The build is in my signature.. since there arent much electronics i didnt really spend a lot of time with the wiring...

Id just let it go.. if fermentation has started then maybe there was enough alcohol to inhibit some of the baddies. I would not put kmeta in because youll kill the yeast halfway through the ferment. Just my 2c

Probably mentioned already but dont use magnesium.. it gives you the ****s when you get too much.. magnesium-excels-against-constipation/

My old setup used 2 15a circuits. One circuit per 1650w Element. The controller ran one element and the other i used just as a booster to reach strike temp and to keep a really nice boil. (3300w total). They were both mounted in a 15g Jarhill kettle and worked great. My typical strike water...

doesnt look like much power to me. Sure its about the power as grainfather etc. but the shape of the grainfather is more suitable to weak power. With that id think you would have a long wait to get a full 6.5 to 7 gallons to start to boil, and when it does it will just be a light simmer. If you...

Munich is the new Crystal...

sounds like you got an engineering prototype that was accidentally packaged and it got replaced with the production unit.

i love my inkbird!

I will gladly pick it up from you if you dont like it :P

i could really use a second conical.. i wanted one of those for months!

Sorry I have been burried in work and havent had any time. It is pretty simple though. The hot goes in and then through the back power switch, then the fuse, then the SSR and finally on the heat outlet. Coming out of the fuse it is pigtailed and runs power to the pump switch and then pump...

Good idea, it will probably still work without it though i mean how many march/chugger pumps have the plastic one that erodes away after a couple cycles of pbw

All I can say is my impeller seized because the magnet (barrel mounted to shaft) was not concentric to the motor shaft. Because of that it would j up and not spin sometimes. I have a video snippit of before and after their customer service (which is great) solved my issue
