i'm fortunate enough to have my conical near my brew stand/sink so i don't need to roll it around (although i do have casters on it). got the leg extensions and regular bracing shelf but even with that and the conical being against a wall, still nervous about it tipping over. the wall the...

i heat the water up to 160 or so the night before and throw some blankets on the hlt. it isn't 'perfect' when i want to get going in the morning but darn close. my typical routine when i get up is to turn the system on, set desired temp and start recirculating. then i hit the bathroom and...

covid is interrupting the supply chain for circuit breakers, even at the residential level, can explain the trouble finding certain types of breakers. gfci is the nec term but gfi is synonymous. you do want to be careful though and not get an epd or similar class b/equipment ground fault...

this is crazy, i had the exact same thing happen to my ebrewsupply panel just ten days ago! i've had mine in use for about five years, 30A panel. i smelled something a little hot on brew day, poked my head in the panel and didn't see anything obvious, kept on trucking. wasn't until cleanup...

thanks for the opportunity!

last brew day, smelled something hot in the electric brew area. poked around, didn't see anything obvious, moved on with the day. was wrapping up the day and recirculating some pbw when the panel suddenly shut off. huh? flipped the main breaker, nothing. opened up the brew panel, now i...

love the pumps on the doors! i only break out the pbw to clean the mlt and bk once or twice a year. fill bk to top with water, use control panel to maintain at 160 degree f (use pid control mode, not manual). add pbw, circ using mash pump for 45 minutes or so. drain dirty water into sink...

my 20 gal kettle system is all threaded connections except the heater elements (tc). pumps controlled by ball valves on outlet. i only have a one degree temp differential between hlt and mlt but i recirc full-throttle. the faster you go, the closer the temps maintain. i like a vigorous boil...

^that is what i am thinking it is.

the element touching itself is not a problem. what is a problem (maybe?) is how it ended up stretching in the first place.

from your panel, let's call line 1 black and line 2 red (the two hot 240v legs). so black from source panel goes to terminal L-1 on the switch and then black from A-1 to first receptacle, black from B-1 to second receptacle. red from source panel goes to terminal L-2 on the switch and then red...

don't look at amazon descriptions/photos for info, go direct to the manufacturer site. the 1288 is indeed rated up to 277 volts

in general, no limit to the amount of 30 amp receptacles on a single circuit, you could have a hundred if you wanted to. the onerous falls on the user to not overload the circuit. there are a few general rules like no single piece of equipment plugged in can draw more than 24 amps and certain...

certain hop/yeast combinations seem to stick to the sides on the conical more than others. i have a cf10 and just started crashing an ipa today, 5 ounces dry hop. only a little stuff came out on the first dump. fast forward an hour, more stuff. another hour, more stuff, it is a process. i...

what is the concern?

ok, that's make sense, i thought this discussion was about some type of bizarre double valve situation where a valve was completely removed and deep-cleaned/sanitized after every dump/sample. my setup is as you describe and i just blast the closed bottom dump valve with a decent amount of...
