    hosehead electronic brewery controller

    That's what I did. I checked all wiring and made sure everything was tight. It seems to have worked.

    hosehead electronic brewery controller

    Here is the followup post for my HoseHead2 running StrangeBrew Elsinore. I put approximately 12 gallons of water into my HLT. I have a Blichmann 4500 watt BoilCoil in the HLT. I fired up the 220 volt on the Hosehead and began to heat my strike water. I was seeing an increase in temperature...

    hosehead electronic brewery controller

    Tonight I plan to enter adjustments to the temperature sensors based on an accurate thermometer I have. Will probably try my first electric brew session tomorrow. Last night I installed a herms coil in my HLT and checked it for leaks.

    hosehead electronic brewery controller

    Did some testing with my hosehead2 last night. Installed stainless tee's and compression fittings for the sensors on all three kettles. Trimmed back the heat shrink some so that the probes went in the tee's far enough. Used one of my pumps to recirculate the water in the HLT. Overshot my...

    hosehead electronic brewery controller

    I started testing tonight. I've got a 4500 watt Blichmann boilcoil in my HLT and a 3750 watt boilcoil in my boil kettle. The boilcoils ship with 10 gauge wiring. It was a job to get them in the 20amp plug. It's designed for 12 gauge wire. Had a few 30 amp gfic breaker trips. Can't figure it...

    NEW StrangeBrew Elsinore Thread

    I've been playing around with my Hosehead2 running Strangebrew Elsinore and I have a couple of questions: 1) On the HLT, I set the Temp to desired. But what should be my duty cycle? 2) On the Boil Kettle, How should I run it? I'm guessing manual but what should I use for duty cycle and...

    Ale fermentation temperature

    I brewed an American ale this weekend. I decided to try out a swamp cooler to see if it would keep my temps towards the lower end of the fermentation scale. My wife keeps the house at 72 degrees and that's a little too high for my tastes. That probably puts my internal temps around 75-78...
