Thanks for all the information. I guess I should of asked our electrician last time he was in. I am not at all well versed with this stuff but thought it might me a simple fix, I can see why combining the neutral and ground is not a good idea. Thanks everyone who chimed in

Thanks for the reply, yes we have 3 phase power at be brewery. Some of our CIP pumps run on 3 phase some on single. The 3 phase has the same type outlet compatible to my panel. Unsure if I should plug it in.

So I have a control panel for my system that has a 4 prong 240v male plug for powering the panel But at the brewery I work at we only have these receptacles for 240v single phase So my question is could I rewire the male 4 with a 3 prong twist lock or make an adapter with another section...

I would ask how long he has had the Co2 tank. They have to have a hydrostatic test done every 5 years to ensure they are safe. The test costs about $50 to get done. Also that reg looks like one that only shows tank pressure. So you might want to get a dual gauge regulator like this one...

We do this all the time at the brewery I work at, we have a 15bbl brew house and 30 bbl tanks, I will pitch yeast on the first batch then brew into the same tank on the second. You can also brew a single batch for "yeast propagation" let it ferment for 24-48 hrs then brew the second after a...

At the brewery I work at our mash tun is steam jacketed only to raise the mash temp, at 15bbls the mash doesn't lose heat due to thermal mass even over 90mins. Our 3 bbl is a rims system and surprisingly loses quite a bit of temp if the rims is not turned on. Honestly it would be a lot easier...

just saw this was under Oregon... little too far for pick up haha

where are you located?

The average beer I brew is around 6%. I have brewed a number of low gravity beers including a micro IPA that came in at 2.9% ABV. Mashed it super hot around 158 and added some oats very light bittering addition and a 3 oz flame out and 4 oz dry hop. When i gave this beer to some of my...

I wanted to get the 1/2 gallon just for a growler lol, never thought to use one like the fast ferment idea

You guys should check these out. A little on the pricey side but are essentially a better option then a mason jar IMHO they range in sizes from .13 gallon to 5 gallon (bit over kill haha) and come with 1.5 inch clamp gasket and lid. http://www.gwkent.com/stainless-steel-bottles.html these...

I used the roselare blend on a sour beer with an og of 1.080 first pitch with two packets also an addition of two bottles worth of Jolly Pumpkin dreggs. Wyeast doesn't recommend a starter as it will throw off the ratios of bugs giving you a unknown outcome. That beer was definitely "sour" not...

we order fittings and such for the brewery I work at all the time from those guys, never had any issues. I would be interested in buying a few bags as well just base tho. I live in lansing. I wonder if you could pick the pallet up from the warehouse?

One sexy looking beer Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

and if there is carbonation those belgian beer bottles will work, dont use a standard wine bootles those will become bottle bombs

they were apparently found in a basement so they sat in a presumably stable climate and out of the light their whole life until this year. as for the corking, they shouldn't shatter, i've corked a standard 22 bomber before, but if theres any sort of carbonation going on, you would want to use...

O I love my job:mug:

I had a Sam Adams triple bock from 1995, 19 years old at this point, honestly wasn't bad, definitely a bit oxidized but not what I was expecting ( I have had some horribly oxidized beers from less than a year old) it was corked and waxed, still have one left, probably gunna drink it sooner than...

Another point on a small boil, at a certain point the wort can become super saturated with "IBUs" (for lack of a better way to put it) the point of a full boil is crucial for beer like an IPA you can't make a pliny only boiling a 1/2 gallon of wort for a 5 gallon batch the wort can only absorb...
