This is probably a silly question but I'm going to ask anyway. Why do so many people secondary there sour/funky beers on fruit? Thanks

Instead of using my PID to adjust the output I wanted to add a control knob to manually turn the power up and down like on the high gravity systems. Has anyone done this? Can you recommend a part that will handle a 2k element? Should it be wired in after the SSR? Thanks

Hello, just started trying to create my own recipes and I don't know what happened to this batch but it has a slight vegetative smell and taste almost like you stuck your nose in a big bag of hop pellets (Not a hoppy IPA smell). This was the hop schedule for 60 min boil 80 min First wort hop...
