Cheers! Hey UncleDave- are you in the Carolina Brewmasters?

Charlotte here!

I was drawing a blank as to what my next brew will be. So I asked my live in GF. She said "light beer". Hence I stumble on this thread. I'm sure she'd spring for the Bean-O haha

You know those things are used in electric water heaters, too- not just home brew rigs!!! And I've never heard first hand of anyone who died from drinking hot water from the tap.

My buddy and I built a HLT with a element protruding thru the bottom of a rubbermaid 10 gallon cooler using a sawed off PVC threaded part inside. Works great. However we developed a small leak. We tried to get the PVC off but it seems to have shrunk on tight. I think we're going to have to...

For use in eRIMS system. External element in a pipe design. I'd like to use a longer element due to lower W/in2 so not to caramelize wort. The industry calls this Low Density or Ultra Low Density. The longer (including foldback) elements are usually not available in 120V. From what I...

Just testing out the forum. Have a question to ask elsewhere.
