    Countertop Brutus 20

    My rate of heating is about 3 degrees per minute, so it takes about 15-20 min to get from the mashout temp of 170 to boil. No I have a separate control box for my pump. No the 120V 30A GFCI breakers are NOT cheap, but you remember I got one used at a bargain. No plugs involved, breakers go...

    Countertop Brutus 20

    My 5 gallon "countertop" Brutus 20 is a 120v based unit comprised of a 10 gallon cooler and a 10 gallon kettle with a 3000W water heater element. I was fortunately able to score a used 30A GF breaker for my panel for $30 on fleabay. I can tell you it works like a charm. I get between 70 to 75...

    HELP!! SSR smoked in middle of boil. Overide options?

    Angie, The HF ratcheting crimper is junk. I bought one a couple of years ago to do some boat re-wiring. Despite trying to adjust it the crimps it made would not pass the pull test. Racked it up to a bad tool purchase.

    Brewtarget 2.0 Update

    I've found that the kettle loses are variable from batch to batch dependent on the amount of hops. The way I've resolved this to my liking is to jack up my batch size to 5.25 gallon then zero out the lautering and kettle loses. This way I usually alway hit my OG and get at least 5 gallons of beer.

    Cheap compact wort pump

    One of the little tan ones that I bought over two years ago. Has worked like a trooper all this time. Did they change from a ss spindle to a ceramic recently? Perhaps I should upgrade and maybe go to 24v.

    Cheap compact wort pump

    FYI I was starting to brew after a hiatus over the holidays and my cheap compact pump did not function. I took it apart assuming that it was clogged with some hop residue but not so, all channels were clear. What I did find out was that the impeller/magnet was not turning on the shaft. Further...

    Location of sight glass

    As the title suggests I am contemplating putting a sight glass in my system to manage the water volumes. My system is an electric version of Lonnie McAllisters CRDFM and inspired by Jeff Karpinski's two vessel electric system. So, my question is where to put the sight glass; the kettle or the...

    Did the same, successfully repaired with jbweld. Further I reinforced it with a thick collar of the same. As a preemptive strike I also reinforced my other no broken pump as well. Nealm
