    I just made this pilsner but i added rice solids

    If you want to make a Pilsner, then make a Pilsner... I'm all about experimenting, but at the same time I'm not just going to throw money away. Rice solids are used, as you stated, as a sugar adjacent. Its used to lighten the body of the beer, but still boost the abv. Usually see it in...

    Also, your gonna have like MAYBE 5Ibus. Nowhere close to a pilsner, more like colt45.

    electric element in 1/2 coupler

    1" NPS is the average water heater element thread. Haven't really seen anything different.

    GFCI Question for the Electrician types

    That will probably not work... It will be looking to see L1 and L2 having an equal load. If you use a neutral and L1 or L2 then the breaker will sense a load imbalance and figure the only other place the current is flowing is to ground, and then trip. You have to use a special breaker that...

    Will a 220v STC-1000 work on a 240v system

    You will see it a lot in multiple family housing, like condos in your case or extremely large homes. Other than that you will see older 240 3 phase power with 208 wild leg. Usually homes were wired single phase and a 3 phase drop to the ac unit. Getting off subject though...

    Will a 220v STC-1000 work on a 240v system

    Haven't seen much 208VAC (3 phase 115VAC) in residential applications, especially single family housing.

    Thanks for the help and suggestions. I love the sight glasses.

    Spud + Element Issue

    Used 1" NPT tap and they thread in enough to seal with teflon. Passed leak test, I'm guessing they got a little buggered up when welding.

    Using REAL pumpkin in mash

    That's what the ""'s meant. The flavor most people look for with pumpkin is from spicing not the vegetal flavor of pumpkin. If you order a pumpkin latte and they make it with pumpkin only, it would probably taste like vomit. A high amount of pumpkin pies made are made with 100% butternut...

    Using REAL pumpkin in mash

    The "pumpkin" flavor comes from the spices not pumpkin. Some of the best pumpkin pies and pumpkin beer don't even use pumpkin....

    Spud + Element Issue

    You. I emailed you earlier. They wont thread enough to even seal with teflon tape.

    Spud + Element Issue

    Ive seen where some people have had issues getting their elements to thread into the 1" NPT spuds. I bought 2 types of camco elements and they both do not even come close to wanting to thread into the spuds. I'm reaching out to see if I can get some model #'s for the elements that people...

    Beginner control panel help please.. GFCI breaker trips immediately

    Thats not what I asked... Where is the white wire landed that goes to your outlet for the panel? Is it on the bus bar or is it on the breaker? Thats what I was getting to. You might want to look into getting a refund from the electrician you hired.

    Beginner control panel help please.. GFCI breaker trips immediately

    Where is the neutral that goes to your outlet coming from? Breaker or bus bar?
  16. Maxkling

    I have arrived...

    Also looks like it goes straight from outlet to element, no switch or contactor? Unplugging under load is dangerous and cycling the breaker will wear it out fairly quickly...

    Motor wiring

    It would help if you could state what dryer it came off of. Also is this a 2 speed motor? Is there a capacitor/capacitors already on the motor? I can tell you how I would wire it up, but without ohming and identifying the windings of the motor, I cant tell you where to put the capacitor or...

    Throwing my breaker with new equipment

    Just because its humming doesn't mean its working... If the capacitor is bad it will hum until it trips the thermal overload. Is the compressor hot as hell to the touch? Does it cycle on and off? If its been drained or completely out of refrigerant and it has a low pressure cut off switch...

    Did I kill my yeast in starter?

    http://www.mrmalty.com/calc/calc.html The starter you made prolly did nothing more than tell you if your yeast was good. That size starter didn't give you much. If your OG was 1060 you would need a starter of almost 2.5L. Plus a starter doesn't mean your going to see activity right away.
