^^HILARIOUS^^ (and true, sadly)

inglorious bastard

Locomotive power cable? Good stuff--- My HLT that I am trying to heat is 35gallons.

Vacuum centrifuge-- they only cost $30,000

what are the dimensions of a 5.5kW element?

I know I know--- sheesh.... I once sat in an un-airconditioned plane in Florida on the runway waiting for repairs for like 18hrs. with a cold. that was some ****ty beaver.

if you brew in sub-freezing temps outdoors, every little mechanical advantage helps. pre-heating the kettle may be overkill, dry heating grain to 100F before mashing. But if it floats your boat...

you could just take half as many and build up your starter prior to brewing. WhiteLabs' vials are extremely durable-- these little vials actually are what is used to make 2-liter bottles. They are subjected to heat and pressurized air and "blow-molded" into large 2-liter bottles for soda...

Card shark!

COLD CRASH your secondary fermenter either outside (if it's cold enough) but covered to protect your beer from U.V. from daylight exposure, or in a chilly garage (one without a furnace or a hot water heater) or garden shed is perfecto. the cold crash is necessary to encourage flocculation of...

My johnson likes redheads. yuk yuk yuk. Okay, I got a johnson controller for my chill box too. It's 100% analog with a simple contact inside and a capillary tube that goes inside the box. if your unit is like this, then yes, the "probe" is water tight. upon further reading I...

well, I can unwire the dry side of the element and test it's resistance--- not sure if that is a good way to determine my actual draw though V/R = I right? but only if R is constant... is R constant in these types of heaters? Okay--- I can get some 12/3 awg and re-wire the power plug no...

straight from the tap, it's like a feline keg-stand

the beeriest photos of stuffs

I checked, it's a 20amp breaker. The power cord to the heating element is wired right now with 14/3. The service to the shop is 100amps and tthere is 230v in there though I would prefer to keep it 115v in case I ever have to move the brewhaus to a location without access to 230vac. The tank...

:confused:Is this possible?? I have a vulcan heating element in my 35gal HLT. It's a single loop element and will hold the tank at around 150F... Not quite hot enough for strike water. my question is simple. Is it possible to get my HLT up to 185F and hold it there using just a 115v...

Me neither, tastes unlike Oktoberfest lagers ought to taste. Ayinger's Okto-fest is a more relevant example of the VMO style... I have heard that Dos Equis amber is also a pertinent example of this endangered species.

Thanks Mike! I'm searching around for the right bleeder now... will post pics and observations when I get down to it. for me in my brewery, half the fun is fabrication and improvments... love it!
