    NEMA 16-30 vs 14-30 inlet

    I would think that there would be some differences in the plugs that dont allow them to interchange. The prong with the bend goes the other way, or is on the other side, etc. I am doing the same thing, looking at plugs for a pid on the way. Going to go with the L14-30 to keep in the correct...

    Ebay Temp Controller (STC-1000) Wiring diagram

    A fuse would help if it happened to be on a 20 amp circuit. Also would keep everything else on the circuit running.

    ebay aquarium temp controller build

    I just ordered an STC1000 also. I am planning so far on a small industrial 200watt heater off of the internal heat contact. I havent read every page in this thread but have read a few that are running a small freezer right off the STC1000. A separate contactor would protect the temp controller...

    Obnoxious Football Trash Talk Thread

    I agree with you there. I have no idea what the turf color is, or uniform colors, or even what teams are around here, and I dont care. All teams are the same everywhere regardless of turf color or location, thats my point :) football is a waste of time. Just doing my part to trash talk :)

    Obnoxious Football Trash Talk Thread

    My opinion is that football is dumb, a bunch of way overpaid people putting on some uniforms and throwing a ball and running and stuff. Wow. No argument from me on which is better or other stuff. They all suck the same.

    planning a glycol chiller for 1-3bbl fermenters

    I agree. The heat from the compressor on your upright would have to now be removed by your walkin. If you want to supplement the walkin with another cooling unit dedicated to helping the chiller, I would consider a chest freezer. If you filled the chest freezer half way or so with glycol and...

    My response from Shiner/Spoetzl Brewery

    I have always found Shiner at the low end of the price scale, 5.99 a 6er is pretty common, sometimes on sale for 5.49, but usually only find bock. I buy the variety 12 packs for around 10.99.

    How do I clear my beer?

    What is the best time to add gelatin? When chilling is started, or a few days before, or at the end of cold crashing?

    Variety pack of different hopped bers?

    Hello all I saw a variety pack of beers (online, havent seen in person) that used the same grain recipe, but used different single hops for bittering and aroma so one could taste the different hops, but now I cant find anything about it. Anyone ran across something similar? I remember one...

    Glass of Mead

    Ya forgot about D47, heard good things about it got a pack of that to try also. Funny how I used 1118 alot being that I really dont like champagne much. Wanted high alcohol at first, now I want it to taste good.

    A couple beginners questions re: Primary/Secondary

    I will rack to secondary for mead, and if there is a high amount (to me) of "stuff" on the bottom for beer. Racked my last one to secondary after about 2 weeks and it started to clear big time the next day. I feel secondary can speed up clearing and help get more stuff to settle out. As always...

    can a PC run Love 16B or SYL2352 Auber?

    Hello all I am looking at the Love 16B or Auber SYL2352 and would like to know if either can connect to a laptop? I know it will need a program for the computer but can either connect? Love says it has RS485 communication whatever that is but nothing listed for Auber. I would consider the...

    Solenoid Valves for Brutus

    I would guess that petroleum includes natural gas, propane, butane, etc. Will the valve allow the gas through when it is energized? Sure. Is it correct for the application "according to the manufacturer"? Probly not. Personally I would use a valve made for flammable gases. I agree with this...

    The Cost of Brewing Suggestions to Save $

    Buy bulk if you can. Helps to find a few people to help pay for a sack if you dont brew often enough. I repackage bulk DME into 1 gallon ziplock bags, just like the LHBS, and sell at cost. This helps keep stock fresh also.

    Solenoids for gas make me nervous. (Vs Gas control valves)

    As a volunteer on my local fire dept I agree with the above. An argument could be made here about the comparison of using a simple solenoid valve vs a manual valve on a turkey fryer etc burner. Niether have any built in safety if the flame goes out and must be attended. The post above does...
