No worries because I get 200, my wife gets 200, my 2 kids get 200. I don't think I can drink 800 gallons in a year.

Thanks augiedoggy I will salvage those and see what the on off switch is rated. I knew the box was small and not sure if it would work but it was free. I have 2 of these boxes. I was going to build a 3 PID setup. It will be either a 30A or 50A system depending on what wire I end up running from...

Thanks everyone. I didn't figure there was going to be much that I could use but I wasn't sure about a couple of things that were in the box.

Just starting to put together things to build a controller. Got 2 of these electric boxes from my work that were being thrown out. Wanting to know if there are any parts in here I could use. Box may be tight but it was free!!

Glad it's working for you now.

Have you checked your connection? Also try switching you neutral and hot coming from the heater. Plugs have a larger prong on one side so the heater may need the power coming in on the other side to work properly.

I have a shade (think Pop up canopy) just outside of my shop (garage) that I brew under. I sit in the shade inside the shop most of the time but when I'm outside I'm still in the shade. Inside the garage I have a fan blowing and if it gets real hot I have a window A/C that I picked up at a yard...

Empty Kegs or 1 gallon bottles is where I store my StarSan. There empty and taking up space so why not use them.

Take a propane touch to heat the coat hanger till it's red hot then stick it down into the paper and burn it from the inside. Quick and easy.

Soak the paper towel with water that should soften it up so you can get it out in pieces. Don't do that again.

I was just up there about a month ago. Mad River and Redwood Curtain both are great choices.

Not sure what all that says but I would check with the city to see what the zoning is and what is allowed. If you check the TTB.gov site it has some guidelines as to what is required to get a license. Can not have a brewery in residential.

Going to be doing both 5 and 10 gallon batches.

I'm working on building an e-herms and wanted to know where to place fittings. I have a guy that's going to weld the fittings on the 3 kegs that I have. I'm going to do bottom drains. But how high up from the bottom do you put the element on the keggle and HLT? How far from the top do you put...

Sounds like to me you didn't release the pressure that was in the keg (60 psi) before you hooked it back up. You need to release the pressure back down to zero before putting the keg back on pressure. May even need to release the pressure and let it sit for a day then release again. May need to...

I'm also going to be building a walk in cooler in my shop which I'm turning in to a brew pub/brewery. I have done a lot of reading also and found that you need to insulate the walls 1st with a high R value insulation then you add the ridge foam over it. Are your garage walls insulated? I live in...

Thanks that's what I thought to but I wanted to make sure.

So, If I use my OG which FG reading do I use? 1.008 before fruit or 1.004 after fruit to get my ABV%?

I brewed a English Pale Ale that had a SG of 1.054. After 2 weeks it was at 1.008. I then racked it over on to Strawberries due to a late request. After I rack it off the Strawberries 7 days later the FG was down to 1.004. I now by adding the strawberries it added some sugars. So, My...
