For the Dryer outlet, Since this is not a four-wire, you cannot make a neutral. You have to use it as a ground. Even in my Main Panel, the ground wire is on the ground bar along with all neutrals wired in my house. <I just watch a video of an electrician installing a GFCI using 3-wire.>...

I have been brewing for a couple of years (all grain using propane) and finally starting to gather parts for my electric controller. I went to see if P-J was still posting wiring diagrams and it looks as though I was a bit too late. Started reading the thread and saw that he was not in good...

I am oncall for my job over the week 4th of July so I won't be able to meet for the drink. Much appreciated, though... I will be able to meet but I can't be too far away from my computer as I deal with customers that need assistance with their servers.

Looking for a regulator new or used for kegging. I have a CO2 tank already. Anyone looking to get rid of one? Looking to spend less than $40, if possible. Cheers!

OK - I cheated a bit on testing my bottles. I did not wait two weeks. My bottles are well carbonated in just a week! The beer is a bit young but takes really good. I guess it was not the capper or the soaking of the caps. The only thing I can think of is that I racked to a secondary and...

The yeast packet was fine... :)

og = 1.054 fg = 1.010

I am almost through all of them. They have lasted over 8 weeks. I started drinking them around 4 weeks. Carbonation hasn't changed throughout the month of drinking them. I have 4 left of the originals. :(

I agree... We shall see. :)

It has to be one of two things - - Capper is not sealing correctly. - I am leaving the caps in the StarSan too long. I will test and find out in a little over a week. Stay Tuned... :D

I guess that will be the test with the Grolsch bottles. If after the conditioning is completed, I will place a couple of each (capped and EZ Cap) of the bottles in the fridge for a couple of days and see what happens. :rockin:

I boiled up the water, took it off the heat, added the corn sugar, dissolved it completely, and then boiled it for 10 minutes. After cooling, I added it to the bucket and then racked on top if it.

I would refrigerate for a couple of days before opening them.

OK - After discussions on the forum here, I went ahead and created a video of me bottling my Mexican Cerveza: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vbAzwV76wIQ After reviewing the video, a question came up from one of my friends who is a home brewer. Does soaking the caps for a long time in Star San...

I don't think that would have been the case. I kept the bottles at room temperature (70 - 74) and covered from the light. Once a week, I would take a bottle and place it in the refrigerator for 24 hours and then crack it open. carbonation stayed the same from week three through week six. I...

I have done that as well...

Thanks. Corn Sugar. I blend the beer and the sugar solution in the bucket.

Thanks! - I am currently doing 5 gallon batches. - I will look up one of the calculators online and see what they calculate to be. - As for the bottle caps leaking, they are not. When I crack them open, they do give off a bit of pressure (low) and there is smoke.

Hello Everyone ~ I had an issue with my first Amber Ale. After fermentation completed, I racked to my secondary carboy so it could settle out over a couple of weeks. After all was said and done, I created my 3/4 cup sugar to 2 cups water Corn Sugar solution and placed it in my bottling bucket...

Thanks! :cool: One main reason I wanted to get into home brewing was that I was stationed just north of Stuttgart, Germany from 1985 - 1987. While there, I was introduced to the most awesome Bavarian Beers my tongue has ever know. Even now, you are not able to get the authentic beers shipped...
