Looking for conicals for new brew setup. I'll be able to brew up to 20 gallons, so looking for conicals that can handle brews from 5-20 gallons. Only interested in stainless steel conicals. Thanks!

I'm sure this has been talked about somewhere, but I couldn't find a good thread... I assume I need to have ventilation for my brewing in the basement (electric). Batches will be 5-20 gallons. I have on my hands a duct fan...

*Note: I will be having an electric professional personally inspect my electrical setup prior to powering it on. I've been slowly working on my electric setup. I've completed the control box and just need to double check I have the wiring right. It's based from the instructables...

This is the second time I've had low efficiency with all grain. Here's the details: American Pale Ale: 8 lbs 2-row 2.5 lbs Crystal 40 0.5 lbs Carapils 0.5 oz Citra @ 55 0.5 oz Citra @ 30 0.5 oz Cascade @ 5 Mash temperature stayed at 150 whole time in water cooler (no...

Hate to ask what I assume is an easy question: I have kcd4 toggle switches for my control panel. They illuminate. No instructions, no diagrams. Google is useless. Just has a 2 and a 3 next to two of the pins. How do I wire this up? I need one circuit to illuminate it, and the other...

So, I'm about 1/2 through wiring up the new electric brewery. I'm working on the PID, which is a TA4-SSR. I have Auber RTD Probes and will be attaching one to each of my 3 PIDs. Looking at the diagram (attached), I need to wire my lone white wire to 7, and my two red wires to 8 & 9...

In trying to be DYI in electric brewing, I'm creating my own control panel. I'm modifying a plan that I believe is a popular one on Instructables: http://www.instructables.com/id/Electric-Brewery-Control-Panel-on-the-Cheap/?ALLSTEPS Looking at the wiring diagram (attached), it's a 220v...

Pretty straight forward, we had a beer lager at 34 degrees for 2 months, bottled it, opened it (tastes great), but flat. Opened one after the first week, 2nd one after two weeks. I believe we should have added yeast before bottling. We added a tablespoon of the bottom slurry, but maybe...

I'm about a week away from ordering all my parts for the HLT and the BK. I have 25 gallon pots that I'm going to convert. The question now is to go with weldless or soldering? Brewhardware sells both weldless and soldering (not welding) conversions. The soldering version is $65, while the...

I'm finalizing my new brew system and have heard that I can use my HLT for both my MT water and for the BK water. This setup also makes it easy to use for a HERMS system. All I have to do is fill up the HLT without any initial measuring, then disperse it as needed. Using the HLT for the...

I'm working on my electric build and am about to buy my heating elements. My plan is to get a 5500w ripple heating element for the boil kettle https://www.brewhardware.com/product_p/element5500_ripple.htm And I was planning on just one 5500w for the HLT...

So I'm making an upgrade from 5 gallon batches to 10+ gallon. At the same time, I'm also switching to electric. It's a slow and fun build (all while continuing 5 gallon batches), but now I'm at the point of figuring out what old equipment I can continue to use. Recently, I bought a few 20 and...

Looking for a RIMS Tube, RIMS-Rocket, etc. Also looking for a march/chugger pump.

Looking on a few websites http://www.ebrewsupply.com/complete-weldless-heating-element.html http://www.theelectricbrewery.com/heating-element-kits It doesn't appear that this is a complex build and requires basic tools (drill press, cordless drill, screw driver, etc). These websites look...

I'm sure this is answered somewhere, but I couldn't find it... I'm putting HERMS in my HLT. But am confused about a couple steps. Please help fill in the blanks! 1)I heat up my HLT to the Mash temp 2) I pump the heated water to the MLT (Do I immediately put my "cold" sparge water into...

After fighting for smart ways to use propane inside the house, I finally learned that I'm not going to be able to pull it off (smartly). However, I've learned the joys and wonders of electric brewing. So, to start using electric, I need to buy an element. Currently I'm brewing 5 gallon...

I'm in the process of designing a brew room in my walkout basement. I have the ability to put a commercial hood above the burners and can push large ventilation into the space. Yes, I do have alarms to monitor any dangerous gas. Our house has a buried propane tank in the front yard that feeds...

I know it's a little early to worry about the yeast being dead since we made the batch yesterday, but I just learned of an issue while we made our batch. Apparently, the yeast was being rehydrated from 1 cup of water with a lot of Sanstar in it (the was from a pot that items were being kept...
