I'm building a HLT from a cooler and am wondering how other people have mounted a thermocouple or RTD. I want to use the liquid tight RTD sensor from Auber, which has a 1/4" NPT thread. My original thought was to use a weldless sight glass kit from bargainfittings with a reducing bushing, but...

You are correct. A fault beyond a transformer will not trip the GFI. My thinking was it would trip your 2A breaker. However, I just had a conversation with two electricians at work on this issue, and they said that it's not necessary to ground the neutral of control transformers under 50...

Well, I'm not an electrician, but here is my opinion. I would connect the 24V system neutral directly to the chassis ground. With this arrangement, ground faults will trip the primary breaker. I think this would be desirable since your HLT float switch will be sitting in water and is a...

Just curious: any reason why you're not grounding the neutral on the secondary of the control power transformer?

Did you ever find a replacement for this? This looks like it would work, but is a bit pricey. Great job on the rig, BTW

Check out this thread: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f35/cure-your-short-hose-troubles-100151/ Basically somebody figured out that if you stuff a couple of epoxy mixer inserts into your dip tube it adds enough resistance that you can get a good pour at higher pressures.

I'd let it sit. I've only used this yeast once, but mine went from 1.050 to 1.009 in 6 days, then stalled there for a week. Ten days after that it was at 1.002.

I'm trying to determine the proper starter size to use for washed yeast. I've read a few threads that touch on this, but I'm still a little confused. My apologies if this has been answered before. I'm planning to brew a 1.035 bitter with 30 ml of washed yeast harvested on 1/23/11. My usual...
