All this bickering about "plastic vs glass" I'm just happy the cat wasn't in the litter box at the time. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

YAAAAAY!!! Thanks for the advice. Just checked my hydrometer and it was .004 out of whack. So my FG was actually 1.008. Almost what it should have been. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

I will calibrate tonight. I have some distilled water for making sanitiser I can use. Thanks. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

I checked my thermometer last night. Boiling water was exactly 212 and a cup full of crushed ice and a little water read 31.7. So looks like the thermometer is good. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Oh please make this happen. You'll be my hero. I would love to kick back an all zoidberg IPA Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

If you use two wires to the control panel then two wires the the elements then using #8 is fine and you won't need any breakers in the control panel. I was talking about using one wire from the electrical panel to the control panel then two wires to the elements. Sent from my iPhone using...

I would use an ssvr for sure. An element at 100% can be a little to much. so you'll need a #6 wire feeding a control panel then into a fuse block or two 2pole 40a breakers. Now that you have two 40a 240v circuits you can feed a pid and a ssvr. Then you can use the #8 wire to feed your elements.

Are those speakers built into your brewstand?

A #6 is good enough to run both elements. But you'll need to control the elements. Do you have any plans on what type of controller you'll use?

Run one #8 to each element and a #6 to the panel. A #6 is bigger than a #8 and good for 60A Also a 4500w works great for a 5 gallon batch. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Do you plan on running both elements at the same time? Also you more than likely have 240 not 220. So you're closer to 27A. #8 is good for 40A so it's perfect to feed the elements. But to feed the panel I would run a #6 Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Use a razor blade. Works amazing for getting off burnt sugar. Just did it two days ago with some corn sugar Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

The soil is garden triple mix (top soil, pete moss, manure) they are planted in a raised bed. Approximately 6-7 hours of direct sun light. I water it when the the dirt is dry a few inches deep. I'll try a little fertilizer and trim a few of the bottom leafs. Sent from my iPhone using...

So I just checked and there are no insects to be seen. I guess I can try a little fertiliser but I would think the soil would be good. It's 3 bags of triple mix. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew
