Where did you get the pots?

Balance in a west coast IPA means your hop flavor and hop aroma are balanced with your hop bitterness.....at least to me anyway. bobbrews hop schedule advice is right on (thats what I would do anyway)

Sounds like you are over carbonated. Did you force carb? At what pressure and temp?

sweet

I have a couple of these controllers: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Digital-Temperature-Controller-Thermostat-Aquarium-120V-/180925106297?forcev4exp=true#ht_3732wt_1414 One on my keezer, and I just purchased a second for my fermentation chamber. I am looking for a replacement temperature...

Thanks! I put myself down for a couple. Looks like we are just a few bags short of a full pallet.

Looks great. What spacing did you use between the taps? How about from the drip tray to the center of the shank?

Sounds like you have talked yourself into using the spa panel, but here is a 30A 240V GFCI breaker for $35 http://www.globalindustrial.com/p/electrical/circuit-breakers/molded-case-circuit-breakers/siemens-breaker-30a-2p-120240v-10k-qpf-gfci-5ma

I don't think a 4º swing is going to hurt your beer. I have a refrigerated fermentation chamber, but I do not use a heat source. Mine is programmed to turn on if the temp rises more that 3º over the set point. I don't think your current setup is capable of maintaining temps within 1º IF this...

Why yes it is. I use the scale to measure my strike water volume (more accurate than the sight glass on the HLT). It also helps during the sparge, I use it as a reference to match my flow rates.

I've got a few buddies that hang out and drink beer on brew day. They also help with cleaning etc. One of them is a pretty talented photographer. Here are a few of his shots of yesterdays Oktoberfest brew.

Yes, my pre boil volume is 7 gallons.... after evaporation and trub loss I usually only get a bit over 5 gallons in the keg.

I boil in a 9 gallon stainless kettle. Even with a reflectix jacket, the boil was weak and took forever to get up to temp. Not sure what you mean by "too big" Water/wort heats up quick, then I use a PID to throttle power to maintain the boil (usually around 60%) I could have gone with a...

I ordered two of those from Boston Heating Suppply, they came packed loose as well. They worked fine. That said, what is your intended use for them? I tried to use them in my eHLT and eBoil kettle, but they are just too small for a 5 gallon batch. Heating the strike water took well over an...

yes please

2,343 + 10 = 2,353

Exactly. 5500w is cheaper, will heat the water to your desired temp quicker, and when you get to boil you can dial it back by using a PID in manual mode.

I had a 2000W element in a 9G kettle....it was barely capable of boiling 7G, even with an insulating jacket (reflectix)

correct, the 0065 would represent 65%. I have not tried to operate the PID without a probe connected, but the up and down arrow buttons do adjust the percentage in this mode.
