He's running 2 5500w elements at the same time according to the op. 30 won't cut it.

We use peanut oil. Just in case it gets in the process it won't be an incident. We had mineral oil get in a tank one time. It wasn't pleasant.

You can make great beer with what you have. Follow the directions that come with the kit. If something doesn't match what the directions say exactly, don't freak out. Best thing to do on brew day is, if something doesn't match what the directions say to write it down on the actual instruction...

Hello from the zoo.

I got the opposite. The wife loves beer. Gives me great feedback on when I've hit a homerun, and when I struck out. Problem is when I hit a home run it seems like I get to drink a lot less of it.

I've been thinking about this stuck sparge situation. I'm thinking about doing a three way valve on my pump that will let me push back up into the mash tun. When we have stuck filtrations at work on 8 meter filters we'll sometimes push the liquid back up the bottom of the filter to uncompact...

Sugar is sugar. That being said if you have never made this exact recipe before I would stick with priming sugar. Then maybe make it again and use honey to prime with.

looks good to me. give it another week to clear and bottle it. leave the trub on the bottom.. its dead yeast and an assortment of by products. im sure some of the guys that respond can tell you all whats in the bottom.

+1 on the 7.8 gallon fermenters. There will come a moment when you think.. ohh yea i can brew some hopslam clone and put it in my 6 gallon fermenter. Two days later you'll find the air lock stuck in the drop ceiling and a moldy mess on the outside of the pail. At which point you'll remember...

Without knowing the breaker size its tough to guess. Probably never be a problem so long as 2 to 3 appliances dont start at once. Then even a 20 amp might blow.

I'm really lucky I guess. Bell's charges us like a buck for a pound of base malt, and even the specialty malts are like a buck thirty. There's a huge mill in the grain room you can use that does a nice medium crush, and you can just double crush if you are looking for more.

It needs to be cold. Less than 40ish. Also once it's cold you can carb a keg in no time at all by shaking it. You will actually hear the regulator let gas in as you shake it. When you don't hear the regulator actuate when you shake it.. it's taken up all the gas it will at the set pressure.

Ok I'm gunna bite. Shoot em up. Paul Giamatti and Clive Owen and yes it's god awful, but it's so fun. And the movie I have to turn off because my wife gives me **** about watching it so much.... Friends with benefits.

It's definitely possible. I'd see if you can find a V cut valve rather than a ball valve. There is little difference between the range of 35-75 percent open in a ball valve. Any valve can be made automated. It just depends on how much money you want to throw at it. The V cut valves give...

:(It's compressor oil. Along with the refrigerant there is oil in there that keeps the compressor lubed. It might run forever like that. It might run for a week.

Me: I mess around with brewing some of my own beers from time to time. Person: Yea I've heard that is kind of taking off as a hobby, can you make me some bud light? Me: Die in a fire.

The mix of metric and english units is really throwing me (:

Ouch Supreme one. 200 dollar beer tap (:

I added a pound and a half of honey to this recipe. It's stupendous.
