    Adapter for 3-prong dryer outlet??

    Dumb question here regarding TD5: I'm assuming the answer is drop the adapter and hardwire it, but what would you say it the best way to connect the TD5. The receptacles I have are standard 120v, so it seems I'd end up in the same boat using the AC/DC adapter. Thanks all.

    Adapter for 3-prong dryer outlet??

    I have one from http://gfcistore.com/30-amp-inline-gfcis.html - $240 Inline/manual reset. It actually seems the spa panel may have been a bit cheaper. Since I need to move this thing around quite a bit though, inline seemed the way to go. Now, though, I still need to adapt L6-30 plug to 10-30...

    Adapter for 3-prong dryer outlet??

    I do appreciate the nod on GFCI (as I definitely don't want to zap anything or anyone), but I have addressed that issue. I'm currently just looking to adapt L6-30 to 10-30 dryer cord. I ordered an inline GFCI with the following specs: 30 Amp, 240 Volt, Manual Reset, 2' Molded L6-30 Plug and...

    Adapter for 3-prong dryer outlet??

    Is there any reason not to use this to convert my NEMA 10-30 dryer outlet to L6-30 required for my brew rig? http://evseupgrade.com/?main_page=product_info&products_id=17 I was told by the supplier that he could not sell it to me, without having a car registered with them (you don't...

    https://www.amazon.com/dp/B014W3D1OC/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20 Wondering if anyone has experience with the multimeter above or one that is similar. Any thoughts on going with the 4-in-1 vs 2-in-1? Thanks!

    California New: Blichmann 15 gallon G2 Electric Brew Kettle. Oakland, CA

    You can throttle it with a controller, but it will still need to be plugged into a 240. For the size of the kettle (15gal), the extra power will definitely help in bringing the wort to a boil.

    RTD PT100 Auber vs. OEM

    I appreciate all the help and advice. However, nowhere did I mention that because something comes from a Chinese seller, eBay, or Amazon, that it is "automatically a questionable source." I've ordered plenty, and had pleasant experiences from all of those sources. Having done business in China...

    RTD PT100 Auber vs. OEM

    1.5" probe from Auber and 7/8" probe from Brau are the same size. Brau measures the probe only and Auber's measurement includes the threading. There are a bunch of eBay probes listed that look like the Auber probe, but they are 50mm (about 2") for the probe only. This is represented by a graphic...

    RTD PT100 Auber vs. OEM

    I'm forgetting the metric and getting the same threading for all three. It's pretty confusing though, considering different sellers use different conventions for measuring the probes. Brau Supply advertises 7/8" probe, but that is just the probe. Auber says 1.5", but I believe they measure from...

    California New: Blichmann 15 gallon G2 Electric Brew Kettle. Oakland, CA

    Thanks GJOCONNELL. I got it before I planned out my system. I'm selling it for $100 under what I paid, just so I can get on with it. It's a great piece of gear though. Cheers!

    RTD PT100 Auber vs. OEM

    Maybe I'm confused. That design is not using a thermowell, if that's what you meant. It just uses straight (metric), rather than tapered MPT threaded RTD PT100 temp probe on the boil kettle. The taper was not needed since it is going straight through the kettle wall. Also, I was thinking the...

    RTD PT100 Auber vs. OEM

    I was starting to feel the same way. Seemed like the more aggressive taper was really only meant for attaching to a tee fitting. I'll probably go Kal's route with straight thread on boil kettle probe.

    RTD PT100 Auber vs. OEM

    I like the short 7/8" probe on those Brau Supply sensors and that they have all the disconnects with panel mount. I can't find anything quite like it on either Ali. Do you have a link by chance? Also, are you saying that the steel kinks or the Teflon? It sure looks like the Auber MPT have...

    RTD PT100 Auber vs. OEM

    Clearly the last link is a reseller rather than OEM, since there are several HK purveyors on eBay for around $8 plus shipping. Should've written Auber vs. generic. I could use to save the money if others work the same.

    RTD PT100 Auber vs. OEM

    Does anyone see the benefit of going with Auber Auber Liquid Tight Auber - does the NPT taper more than typical on these? Is that what makes them liquid tight? Doesn't all NPT threading taper? http://www.auberins.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=20_15&products_id=249 Ebay...
