    Blow over and still stuck at 1.020

    I just recently did an extract brew that in the first couple days facilitated my blow off tube nicely. I use a 6.5 carboy that completely filled with kraussen and was fermenting like crazy. My OG was 1.052 and after 2 weeks I'm at 1.020. Could any of the normal causes for a stuck fermentation...

    Sizzling keg, am I scorching my wort?

    My keg does have the weep holes already, I've heard they can be explosive otherwise. I just brewed another batch last night and listened the whole time. The sizzling sound was there even before I added the extract, although it did get significantly louder once I added it. Still no issues with...

    Sizzling keg, am I scorching my wort?

    No, I dont have burn spots, just a light almost film of clear residue. Thanks that makes me feel better to know. And no I dont have any spigots on my boil kettle either, the only thing Ive done is cut the top off so no leaks either. Thanks for the answers.

    Sizzling keg, am I scorching my wort?

    I have a converted keg fired by the round bayou classic, sp10, and have noticed when i am trying to get to a boil i hear sizzling if I dont stir it constantly. I turn the heat off before I add my extract and stir like a mad man for several minutes, but as soon as I turn the heat back on and...

    Yes, it sends me answers from google. I am just used to most forums, regardless of their topics, having features like "search title only" etc. If I type in electric hlt, every post with electric hlt anywhere in the responses comes up, regardless of the topic. Maybe I should just use full...

    Electric mash tun

    Thanks Bobby, That would be my mistake, I automaticall assumed it was a mash tun because it was in a cooler. So this is basically a more efficient way of making an electric hlt with 110v?

    Electric mash tun

    Thanks for all the replys. Have any of you seen the electric mash tun on wortomatic? I guess it must have just been some guys project that in the real world does not work like he had hoped? Either way I have not drilled the hole in my tun yet, so I guess I'll just drill into the bottom of my...

    Electric mash tun

    Actually I am trying to avoid the propane. I installed a water heater element in my mashtun as described on wortomatic. I know I can bring my water to around 170 inside the cooler, and have been told I can use the electric heater in the tun for heating my sparge also. I just dont know if...

    Electric mash tun

    I am a little new to this and am considering trying my luck at all grain. I picked up a 10 gallon igloo cooler that I would like to go electric. I already have all the materials but had a question about sparging. I know I can bring my temp up slowly with the 110 volt heating element, but when...
