    Sub Panel Question

    I was looking at that P-J. Will that Spa panel accommodate another double pole breaker? Thanks for the help so far guys.

    Sub Panel Question

    I have 100 amp service =( My main is qo120m100 service panel. The sticker detailing the information of the breaker box was covered with a sticker by the last homeowner. I definitely don't have the power available to run a 100 amp breaker at the main to get the 30 and 50 going at the same...

    Sub Panel Question

    I was hoping to run tandem breakers to free up 2 poles for a 50 amp in the main, but my current panel does not accommodate the tandem breakers. I'm working on an electric brewery now, and the power is the most important part. I will be running two 5500 watt elements (one at a time) and a 1500...

    Sub Panel Question

    My breaker box is full, so I will need to run a sub panel to supply power to my brewery. I have a douple pole 30amp breaker in my main panel now that runs our electric dryer. I plan on removing the 30amp, and replace it with a 50 amp. I will then run the power from the 50amp to the sub...

    False bottom sizing

    I picked up a first gen sabco brew magic. The guy I picked it up from was using stainless steel screen as a false bottom. The kegs are weird, they have these metal studs all the way around at about, I guess for the false bottom to rest on. Here's a picture. My question is, would a...

    Any Sabco Brew Magic Users Out There?

    I just picked up a complete 1st generation brew magic system off craigslist for 600 bucks. I'm sure I'm going to be looking for a bit of help as well.

    Running a sub panel with a full breaker box

    acefaser - I guess you could put a 200a panel in on 100a service, but if i go that far, might as well just upgrade my service as well. Sdurge - I'm going to try to measure my total load tonight....If I can swing it with a few of my major appliances running with the proposed brewery load, I...

    Running a sub panel with a full breaker box

    I would be pushing it extremely close with 100 amp service, I know that for sure. Water heater/central air/pool motor + brewery. Evanmars may be right. Which means....all the money i have saved for me electric brew rig would go to getting the service upgraded. I could go gas, but damn it...

    Running a sub panel with a full breaker box

    I'd have to get a new box too. I wonder what the cost difference would be.

    Running a sub panel with a full breaker box

    I have 100 amp service in my new home. I want to run a subpanel to an extra room in the basement and make an all electric brew set up. I'm not too sure how to accomplish this with the full breaker box. Any suggestions? I think i'd like to go with 60a or 100a subpanel. I'm thinking 60a would...

    Back from Ireland

    The commercial beers in Ireland tend to be brewed with a lower ABV% because of the high tax on alcohol. I think Ireland has one of the highest alcohol taxes in Europe.

    Impact of Boil Size

    I'm a total newbie, but was wondering the same thing for my last brew. This is what I gathered, which hopefully, is all true. For a specific recipe, use the original water volume to steep the specialty grains. This is what will dictate the flavors and colors that are leeched from the grain...

    Brew day tomorrow - quick question

    Thanks for the response. So with this brown ale, I might as well just go for it and leave the hop bill the same? I'm too inexperienced to know what a high IBU beer is vs a low IBU beer. With my software, I'm getting a total IBU of 46.9

    Brew day tomorrow - quick question

    If brew target is right, I will be using less hops than what is called for for the partial boil?

    Brew day tomorrow - quick question

    My first brew day is tomorrow. I got the Stormcastle Ale extract kit from AHB. I'm trying to use brew target to figure out what I should change for my hops bill for a full boil, but am having some issues. I only have the hops that came with the kit(which calls for a 2.5 gallon boil). THe...
