Did you end up changing from the 3500W induction burner? I’m thinking of doing the same and have the same setup as you.

The SS Brewtech has a 5500w element. So looks like I’ll have to rewire in that scenario. There are other ones I’m looking at that have 4500w elements. In hat scenario I’d need to be sure if there was a pump that it’s powered separately.

If I can use that adapter linked, then no wiring needs to happen. If I can't use that adapter then it could be because I shouldn't run that controller off the current wiring. If that's the case then it isn't just "a receptacle". I don't know enough about it to make the call, thus why I asked.

I currently use the Avantco IC3500 and had an outlet installed to support it years ago. The IC3500 uses a NEMA 6-20P plug. I am thinking of getting the SS Brewtech 1V system which uses a L6-30 plug. Can I use an adapter like this or should I have my electrician come back and rewire?

It would foam like crazy at room temperature.

@wilserbrewer http://biabbags.webs.com/ I've bought a few, they are great.

Thanks for this. It's working perfectly. Who would have thought that using a fitting for its intended purpose would be so useful!

I have one, it's fantastic. With New England ground water, I get to pitching temps in like 6 minutes.

When you carb with CO2 the process is to pull the pressure relief valve (burp) to expel the O2 and fill with CO2. But when naturally carbing I'm not sure what the analog to that is. As mentioned above, burping in this case may cause an undercarbonation issue.

Thanks. That's what I was afraid of.

How is the water where you are? I have never treated my water and my beer is fine. That is not to say you SHOULDN'T treat your water, just that you may not have to.

Looks good to me. I ferment in kegs so need a little headspace to avoid blowoff from fermentation. So when I rack to the serving keg there is a decent amount of headspace, probably like what you have there. Question to those that naturally carb in the keg: Should OP "burp" the keg as it starts...

Whew. Read through this whole thread yesterday. Great thread, awesome rigs. Thanks OP. I am looking to build one for BIAB. There are a few plans that would work that I have seen, but they were basically adapted two station setups. Does anyone have any plans or pictures of a single station BIAB...

In addition to this, the DME may not have been thoroughly mixed in giving you a lower reading.

What was the volume when you stopped the boil after 60 minutes? I don't think you would have hit 1.055 with 6 gallons at 1.014 unless you boiled down to ~1.5 gallons. https://www.brewersfriend.com/dilution-and-boiloff-gravity-calculator/

I use a Home Depot bucket and rest it on my shoulder. Then I tip it forward slowly to control the flow of grain while I stir with the other hand. Edited to add: This is for 5 gallon batches and about 9-11 lbs of grain.

I guess it bears mentioning that there is PC/Mac/Linux versions available as well as an iPhone app (separate purchase).

I use Beersmith. There is a 21 day free trial. ...

Never mind :)
