I've spent the last 20-30 minutes trying to figure out what if any temperature probe for the various love controllers are submersible but for the life of me I can't find a straight answer. Could someone tell me if the TS-6 or TS-1's are submersible and if not would I just need to get one of the...

I'm in agreement that returning it would be preferable but I made the mistake of waiting too long to build my collar after buying the thing so by the time I realized I had the wrong item it was too late to return. I've been holding onto it as a spare part for some future build for the last...

I purchased a this love controller by mistake meaning to buy the standard 110V model. If anyone is looking for a 230V model to use in a brew system and has a spare 110v (doesn't have to be Love just something somewhat comparable) and wants to trade shoot me a PM. Would also take off $10 from...

So I'm finally ready to enter my first beers into competition (yeah me!) and I've got one that my software says the style would be within the guidelines for 19A: Old Ale. So I enter this as the style but the registration site says that for style 19 (among others) I have to enter notes. What am...

I completely get where you're coming from... Since I had never run into the situation though I figured there might be some technique that I was unfamiliar with that could allow the beer to transfer without compromising quality. I knew it was a long shot but it never hurts to ask right??? At...

Thanks for the link. I guess I just didn't word my search properly

This is probably an odd question but I have a few beers that I had bottle conditioned in 22oz bombers a while back (before I started thinking about competing with some of my beers). Now that I've started looking at competing I've realized that some of the beers in the bombers are superb...

Thanks everyone. I figured that I screwed up with my ordering but figured I'd double check. I'm probably going to see if they will take an exchange for the proper 110v model or just put it in the classified section at a discount for someone who could use it with a electric brewing system.

Okay I picked up a Love TS2-020 and think that I may have just wasted $50. I didn't look at the voltage on that one which lists supply at 230V. Am I correct in assuming that this will not work on a normal 120v outlet? http://www.drillspot.com/products/466544/Love_TS2-020_Temperature_Switch

thanks for the info...

Okay, so I've done the requisite search for threads on wiring the love controllers but each of the ones I've seen give the wire colors only for the power wires and not the probe. I've got a TS2-020 controller and a TS-6 probe. The probe has a blue wire and a brown wire. Should the blue go...

I like a bit of maltiness in my IPAs (fan of Hercules and dogfish heads 90 min) so Thats what inflenced the grain bill. For the dry hopping I have already planned on adding an ounce of simcoe. Also thinking of changing to a 90 min boil. All hop additions will be the same except the magnum...

Obviously this thread has been dead for a while but I just tried St. Arnold's Christmas for the first time in January of this year and fell in love with it. Tried the extract recipe listed here, let it condition for 2 months prior to bottling and have it in storage now. I did try one after...

I've definitely got a bit of an inferiority complex kicking in after looking at some of these rigs but I will still go ahead and put mine out. This is the second all grain brew day for me and first where I didn't have my set up completely jerry rigged. It's not the prettiest thing to look at...

Okay so I have another variation of this question. I brewed up a batch about 3 weeks ago and apparently used too little corn sugar for priming (wont bore you with the details of that screw up). Anyway, after 3 weeks the beer is still almost completely flat but still taste about as good as a...

thanks for the advice everyone. Ended up finding an actual wrench instead of the socket wrench I'd been using and added a piece of pipe to that. It took a bit of work but it finally came loose.

This might be a completely pointless/stupid question but I picked up my first two corney kegs recently and while I've had no problem breaking down and reconditioning the first one, I can not get the second one's posts to unscrew. I've got a 7/8" deep socket that fits it fine and have gone so...

Well despite all my efforts to the contrary my first two brews actually turned out extremely tasty. My Rouge Mocha Porter which ended up getting watered down to be closer to a dark ale actually ended up better than the actual beer (now I just need to remember exactly how I screwed it us so I...
