Hey guys, I've been building (with much help and supervision) a toolbox-enclosed RIMS system for what feels like the better part of a lifetime. I've finally got everything running and fully operational except for the e-stop. I had it wired up like it is in P-J's diagrams (Hot to a 1 amp fuse...

Hey guys, Wired up my RIMS toolbox today, and I'm having a bit of a problem with my thermocouple. I'm using the SYL-2352 and RTD Thermocouple from Auber Instruments. I changed the "Sn" setting on my PID to 21 to reflect an "RTD" vs. "K" type thermocouple, but my PID isn't reflecting any...

Hey guys, I've just "finished" wiring up my RIMS toolbox using one of P-J's awesome wiring diagrams: I'm running in to a problem with my RIMS power outlet. For some reason only a small amount of power is making it's way to the plug. Pretty new to electrical work, and was wondering if there...

Alright, so I just finished up my second all grain brew a week ago, and thanks to a clogged mash tun, it mashed for about an extra 25-30 minutes before we were able to solve our little problem. We proceeded with the boil and it's sitting in the carboy now, but my question is what I should expect...

Alright, so my birthday is coming up in a little over a week, and then Christmas is right around the corner as well. I'm thinking of getting a bunch of brewing equipment, but I have no idea what I should get next! To give you an idea of what I've got so far, here's the kit that I bought (also...

So I'm a very new brewer (Done a batch with my Dad, and have my first solo brew in the primary) and I've been doing a LOT of reading on these forums, which are amazing by the way. Reading through everything here, I went out and bought some OxiClean Free at Target this afternoon to use to clean...

Hey guys- I've got my first batch of beer in my primary, and it has been fermenting for 9 days now. I took a sample gravity reading two days ago, and then another one today, and it was the same at 1.013 (OG was 1.048). My question is whether I can bottle it now? I have been reading that once...

Hey everyone! I've been on these forums for about a month of a half, and finally did my first brew yesterday. (I've done one with my Dad before, but this was my first by myself) Anyways, the only problem that I had during the brew itself was that I realized that I didn't have any beer around to...
