    What lengths do you go for brewing safety?

    I roll GFCI cause 30Amps + 10 gallons of water in homemade pots is probably a horrid combo. Use to roll CO alarm before I switched to electric. Also keep a fire extinguisher in the garage. Like OP I also strap in propane and co2 when transporting. Nice thick rubber gloves also help prevent burns...

    Fermentation problems

    Why does cold crashing clear beer?

    That could work easy, i dig that. I like that they want $200 for that. Pretty sure I can make it for like $25 with something like this. http://www.ebay.com/itm/231595874228?var=530832976161 Could plug in and work off the relay board just like the valves....

    How to treat and maintain properly my heating element?

    pretty positive that is just calcium carbonate and not sugars, nothing a little low ph soak wont take care of, star san or vinegar should get it off fast.

    new elements showed up, the quality is a decent bit better, they were way less of a PITA to install due to longer threads, so that was a nice touch. They seem to heat up good and what not. In other good news, solved the pump priming issue with a pump prime step XD
