So then when you use the pump do you leave both ball valves completely open?

A lot of people recommend this: https://www.brewhardware.com/product_p/hotpod-ewl3.htm

Just placed my order for the 120V 5 gallon system. I've looked through the thread but just wanted to follow-up regarding the pump cavitation issues. Have most of the system owners found a second ball valve to control the discharge flow to be the solution to this problem? Thanks!

So I've been doing a lot of research because I've been between a number of different electric brew systems (GF was my primary choice for a period of time). In the end I took some of Texas Wine's advice from another thread on the Brau Supply system and will be purchasing the system without the...

Looks like option #2 is the way to go. I greatly appreciate all the advice.

I guess I don't see much of a difference since whenever I use the PID I'll be using the element as well. Does anyone have any pros to one way over the other?

Thank you! However, I'm not quite sure I understand what you mean in option #2 when you say "element switch ONLY switches element."

Yes it is for an ebiab set up. I plan to have this ebiab set up http://brausupply.com/products/unibrau-120v-5-gallon-brew-boss-automated-brew-system Except to save money I'm obviously trying to build my own controller instead of purchasing the brau supply one.

15 amps. I definitely wouldn't get close to more than 3 hours of continuous use.

Okay, looks like I will have to get the parts and then touch base. I plan to use the pump linked below though which says on the site it pulls 1.05A so shouldn't I be fine with that and the 1500W element? Thanks again for the help! http://brausupply.com/products/brew-pump-24v

1500w

Bump. I realize this is an old post but I am interested in building the controller featured on the thread with an added pump switch that the quoted post asks about. Appreciate any helpful information!

Thanks! Should I just add more American two row to make up for the remaining 3% if I reduce the crystal malt to 5%?

Thanks for the feedback. Is your recommendation regarding the crystal malt because you think it will be too sweet of an IPA with 8%? Also, just so I make sure I understand your recommendation are you saying to typically have 1oz/gallon of aroma hops AND dry hops. So in other words your...

Hello all, I've been through a number of homebrews but have always either used a recipe kit or found a recipe online. In an attempt to learn how to start creating my own recipes I've started reading Designing Great Beers by Ray Daniels, which I strongly recommend! For my first self-created...

Awesome. Thank you!

Okay so just to clarify so I don't burn my apartment down, I would be absolutely fine plugging a 1500W element into this controller: http://brausupply.com/products/brau-20a-120v-electric-brew-controller and then using an adaptor like this to plug into my 15A kitchen outlet...

Thank you for the recommendations TexasWine. I was actually reading a thread I believe you started awhile back regarding the Brau Supply system. I was sad to see that they use the Ranco Controller now instead of the 15 amp controller that you got. I wouldn't be able to use the 20A controller...
