Well I've got the heating (number 6) plugged into the left brass screw and the cooling (number 8) into the right brass screw. That's all. I will post a pic when I'll come back from work !

Day tripper, there are only 2 wires on my hot side...are you sure there should be 4 ?

Yes the probe gives me a temperature of 68 F which sounds good

Well it's been plugged in for an hour now and it's still not working

Is there a way to check this out with a multimeter ? And yes the display functions properly !

I followed this diagram for my temp controller build. I broke the metal tab on the hot side only of the outlet and wired everything. Now, when I set the temp cooler than the actual temp, nothing happens. As I don't have a multimeter, I used a lamp and it won't turn in both sockets. Same thing...

All right then ! I'll sharpen my bit or I might buy a new one. I'm using 1/8" bits for pilot holes. Been working fine but what do you guys use ?

So I was making holes in my keg today and I'm having problem with my last hole. I was trying to make a pilot hole as usual, with lots of oil, low rpm and tons of pressure but there are no shavings at all and I can't get through. I'm using standard drill bit so maybe it's dull now. I'm afraid...

all right so next batch, I'm trying the thick mash for sure along with adding cacl.

Okay thanks for all your help !

All right thanks for the tips guys ! As for the grain types, isn't maris otter known for its malty taste ? This recipe was a clone of the fuller's esb , which I like very much so I know what to expect !

the hop schedule was 1.94 oz goldings at 60 min 0.32 oz fuggles at 20 min 0.32 oz goldings at 20 min 0.25 oz fuggles at 0 0.25 pz goldings at 0 total ibu of 40 which is in the mid range for an esb For the mash, I use 1.28 qt water/lbs of grains for all of my beer. I used...

oops forgot to mention I batch sparge and I also add gypsum (1 tsp/gallons). What is cacl2 ? Should I add the gypsum in the mash instead of trying to dilute it in the hlt ?

Okay so this is my fifth all grain batch so far and I am still dissapointed by what I get. I really dig english malty beers and here's my last brew ESB clone ( 5.4 gallons) 10 lbs maris otter 0.8 lbs crystal 120 0.6 lbs crystal 60 mashed at 152 F for 60 min esb wyeast I...

that's a good idea....I think I'll give it a try ! Do you have a picture of your tool in the soldering thread ?

haha...well I guess reading the "soldering ss" thread I mentioned above is a must to understand what I'm saying ! (caution : it's 114 pages long !!!!)

Okay so I've read the entire "soldering ss" thread and I'm ready to order the parts to build the dimpling tool for a 1/2 coupler. Most people use a 5/8 bolt for that but you need to enlarge the butt reducer for this (which is 1/2). What's the best way for that ? Otherwise I could use a 1/2...

Looking for a keg tool to install a 1/2" coupling. Mcmaster won't ship to Canada ! Thanks

If anyone is willing to sell their keg tool, I'd buy it ! I live in canada and mcmaster don't ship here so it's impossible for me to build one !

Wow really nice !!! Is it possible to solder an aluminium nut instead of welding it ? I'd like to do the same but I can't weld...
