    I use this for the measuring. I like that it is clear, durable, and can handle high temps. Rubbermaid Commercial Products FG321800CLR 4-Quart Bouncer Measuring Cup https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000BC5GME/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20 For under the kettle I found this. The 20g pot hangs over a...

    With the sight glass installed inline with the valve you will have that fluctuation when using the pump. I am just doing my first real brew on the system now, but after a couple of wet runs (heheh) I decided that I really didn't like the way it works in this config so I removed it for the time...

    Same issue, one end of my COFI infusion tube was not soldered. Luckily I found out when testing my hoist setup prior to my wet run test. It was on there tight enough that it held until I pulled down on the basket to simulate squeezing the grains. Not hard to fix, but could have caused some...

    Got my notice today as well, #6048 (20G w/COFI). Stoked, but now I've got to get the power sorted. :ban::confused:

    Thanks, I ended up ordering a couple and just got them the other day. App loaded and launched for me too. Can't say for sure that it will communicate with the controller since I don't have my system yet, but I'm guessing it will be fine.

    Anyone else received any shipping notifications or updates? I know he's backed up, just getting antsy...was hoping to brew on the new rig over the holidays but doesn't look like that'll happen.

    I'm 6048 (Deluxe 20g with COFI), no updates since ordering on black Friday. Status is still Processing.

    I ended up ordering the 20G w/COFI and the swirlboss, just couldn't convince myself that the hops-boss is necessary. I'm lazy, but not THAT lazy. I currently only do 5 gallon batches, and most of those are under 1.070 so I'm hoping that won't be an issue with the 20 gallon system. Worst case...

    Has anyone tried the app on an Amazon Fire tablet? I know they are able to run many Android apps, but don't have one yet to test it out.

    Anyone need some Brew Boss configuration spreadsheets?

    I can't remember where I saw this link, but have it book marked for when I get my BB system. http://brewingintheburgh.com/brew-boss/index.html Allows you to generate the files using a nice web based interface. It would be neat if you could upload an existing file to start with, but...

    Thanks ingchr1. Your spa panel is setup like how I envision mine, except my dryer outlet is only 3 wire so I don't think I can do the 4 wire setup. I'm ok with that, plenty of 120 outlets where I intend to brew. Although, I did find this 10-30 to L6-30 adapter -...

    Yeah, but I want to order now!! Figures, just as soon as I decided to order I went to the site and saw the sale. Now it's a test of will to wait another week and a half to place the order. We'll see if the desire to save some $ wins over the desire to brew on this beast.

    LOL, I just about did the same thing. I'm certainly not brave enough to run without GFI. :eek: Rhumbline, thanks for the pics! :mug: I already have a couple of those racks and was thinking about a similar setup, just need to add some wheels. How do you like that chiller? I've got a...

    Nice, thanks for the reply. What are you doing for GFCI protection? And are you using an extension cord in the mix as well? A pic would be a appreciated if it's not a hassle, visual aids are always welcome :)

    I really want to pull the trigger on the BB but have the same concern with it as I do (did) with other electric brew rig setups, which is that we don't have enough room on our panel (100amp service) to add another 30amp 240v breaker so I was going to be limited to to 110 heating elements or...

    CO2 refill or fill near Columbus, Ohio

    The new homebrew shop in Westerville does exchanges for 5lb tanks, not sure about other sizes. IIRC it's about $12 for an exchange as long as your tank is still certified. http://www.buckeyebrewcraft.com/
