If you use the pid in manual mode it doesn't use the temp sensor to control the element. You won't be able to monitor the boil temp with the pid but you will be able to control the boil. Make sense? Sent from my EVO using Home Brew mobile app

You can definitely boil more than 3 gallons in a 5 gallon pot. Good luck.

If you stir your wort while cooling you will drastically decrease your chill time. Congrats on your first brew! You are on the right track!

Can you get us a closeup picture of the "buss" the place where your new breaker needs to go?

I have been hunting with a used 7mm Remington mag. that I got at a pawn shop for 8 years on white tail and hogs and last year is the only time I couldn't find amo for it but I had plenty put back. If you can't find the amo for the gun you choose I'll see if I can find any here in Texas and send...

Bill...welcome home.

The brew looks great! No need to worry. Swirling won't hurt anything, if it makes you feel better. Leave the airlock on and there will most likely be lots of bubbling as you swirl. It will be the co2 comming out of the beer. Can you take a gravity reading? If not don't worry.

Good job. I think you will be happier with that configuration.

If its fizzy like a coke then the yeast is active and ready to go. This is when I try to pitch.

I just read that page on kals site. He uses the probe on the output of his mash tun to monitor the mash temp not control it. The probe on the hlt controls the element.

I think the CH series has brown handles and the BR has black ones.

What he said...Cutler hammer makes two styles of breakers that don't interchange with each other. They make a CH and a BR. Just make sure what your panel will accept before ordering. Good luck.

I don't know if its coincidence but I started mashing at higher temps as an experiment (155-160℉) and my beers had chill haze. My last 2 batches were mashed at 150℉ and the haze was gone. It could have been anything that caused the haze or got rid of it but the process was the same...

Sounds like you should be looking at a 120 volt setup. Howany gallons do you want to boil?

This would offer gfci protection but it will be cheaper to simply replace the existing 30 amp breaker with a 30 amp gfci breaker. Even if you pay full price for a new breaker you should get out for under $170. And you can save buying a pair of twist lock cord caps.

For that price you should be able to buy a gfci breaker to put in your panel or a spa panel with a gfci breaker. Either way I think you will come out cheaper with a more serviceable product than the gfci cord.

Ok guys I got it, thanks for the new info I have to checkout. Does anyone know anything about high gravity's elements? Are the bases stainless or just the element portion. Lots get back to Bensiff's question.

A few years ago I used a porter recipe from my lhbs and smoked 30% of my grain. I put it in aluminum bbq pans and stirred it maybe four times before I got distracted with company. I accidentally smoked it for just over 2 hours. I did wet the crushed grain before smoking and I went directly from...

Hey Bensiff. Sorry brother I just realized that I am totally hijacking your thread. Won't happen again.
