    Has anyone tried these SSRs?

    I was looking for some mechanical relays to control my pumps, a compact mini fridge, and some ferm wrap (all items under 2 Amps individually). I ran accross these SSR boards with 8 2A SSRs and I was wondering if anyone has had any luck with them in their breweries. Would they need a heat...

    RIMS tube kit

    I got all of my stainless fittings and RIMS tube from Bobby and I am really pleased with all the gear. My question is how do you guys protect the element's electrical hookups coming out of the RIMS tube? I have most of the leaks out of my system but it's still not perfect. I am wondering...

    33 gallons of fermentation space!

    Subbed. Huaco you are the man! I have a similar setup with a mini-fridge and converted 48" cabinet for a ferm chamber so this would be perfect. After breaking two glass carboys recently (one empty and one full of IPA) I was going to buy some of those Speidel 60L fermenters from More Beer but...

    MINI fridge fermentation conversion

    I just ran into that issue...the internal thermostat in the Fridge is a 3 wire with a ground so I can't think of any way to wire it to the hunter thermostat. It looks like I will just have to use trial and error with a thermometer and the existing thermostat until I get my BCS or Brewtroller...

    keggle mash tun

    No. I just got these kegs off Craigs List and they are filthy inside (some from the plasma cutter silt and some general crud). I wanted to boil them first with PBW to clean them up before I put the bottom drain spout assembly on. Just need a temp patch for the 3/16" pilot hole for a 15 minute...

    MINI fridge fermentation conversion

    After doing some "dis-assembly" I realized that the fridge already has a relay built in so the easiest thing would be to hack the thermostat connection and put in my higher temp range thermostat. If it can power a household AC I am sure it cand work the 115v fridge. I will let you all know how...

    keggle mash tun

    I was so excited about putting in my bottom drain on my new keggles that I went ahead and drilled the pilot hole BEFORE I had a chance to fire them on my burner with some PBW to clean 'em up inside. I now have a nice little 3/16" hole in the bottom that I want to temporary plug so I can boil...

    Standalone, Plug and Play Raspberry Pi Headless Brewstand Controller-Server

    I don't really understand much of what you guys are talking about but I am really interested. I am currently debating between a BCS and a brewtroller and like where this discussion is heading.

    MINI fridge fermentation conversion

    Can anyone tell/show me how to wire a Haier compact fridge (1.7 cu ft power: 115v, 60 mhz) with an anolog household thermostat controller (Hunter model: 40135)? Can i just splice the power in or do I need some sort of relay? Details: I am converting my "son of fermentation chiller" from the...

    New E-Build - Service Panel Question

    What is the difference between the dryer breaker (its the 30A breaker above the off one) that has "30" only written on one of the two jumped breakers and the off one below it that has "30" written on both of the jumped breakers? and I was hoping 12-14 was 60A total. I am planning on putting a...

    New E-Build - Service Panel Question

    it looks like Fedferal Pacific. The house is only 25 years old...I seem to remember our electrician saying they had some recalls but our componenets were made by someone else and labeled Federal Pacific, i think part of a bankruptcy settlement. When we put in the gas on demand water heater...

    New E-Build - Service Panel Question

    After a tragic brew-day where I lost my entire Saison and burned the $#!* out of my right foot I decided to ditch my old set up (two cooler, three tier, system) and finally upgrade my 15 gal BK with a RIMS, two keggles, and a pump. Initially I was just going to send power to my RIMS tube...
