That makes sense, thanks

I'm asking because I'm trying to learn more about this type of brewing. I don't hear as much about regular beers being aged on fruit so I wondered why sour or funky beers.

This is probably a silly question but I'm going to ask anyway. Why do so many people secondary there sour/funky beers on fruit? Thanks

I do use the duty cycle feature, I just thought it would be neat to have a dial if it was simple enough to add. No big deal

Sounds like it might be more hassle than it's worth. I didn't know I would need another relay

Thanks

Instead of using my PID to adjust the output I wanted to add a control knob to manually turn the power up and down like on the high gravity systems. Has anyone done this? Can you recommend a part that will handle a 2k element? Should it be wired in after the SSR? Thanks

Hello, just started trying to create my own recipes and I don't know what happened to this batch but it has a slight vegetative smell and taste almost like you stuck your nose in a big bag of hop pellets (Not a hoppy IPA smell). This was the hop schedule for 60 min boil 80 min First wort hop...

I know this thread is old but, I am thinking of trying this. My first question is how big around is the trunk line when its all done and wrapped with foam? thanks

I am thinking of ditching the basket for a false bottom. You can make or buy one pretty cheap. I have a 44qt bayou with the basket and I think it's messing with my recirculation. Just my opinion though

http://www.ebay.com/ulk/itm/141116063173 I have been looking at the 26 quart

So in case anyone is interested I picked another 2000 watt element and hotrod heat stick from Bobby and I got 6 gallons from 150 to boil in 19 mins

I have one wrap of reflectix on it now, maybe I will add a second. The lid on until it boils won't be a problem? All the nasties should escape during the boil I imagine. I'm feeling like I may just add a second element anyway to speed things up, I should have less evaporation if I can reach a...

Thankfully, no. Upstate NY, it's 80 degrees out right now. And the pot is sitting in a plywood bench, I don't see that absorbing that much heAt

Bobby I believe you, I don't understand why I'm having so much trouble. Would soldering the terminal connectors make a difference they are currently just crimped.

Well just tried it plugged in direct and got the same results getting to 150, but it's still not boiling and its been 35 mins and its only at 204. This sucks.

So I guess my cheapest option at this point is to get another 2k element. I don't want to waste all the 110 parts I have.

That's great but I already built my control box around 120.
