Dang I just found this section!! I like pelletheads.com. I have a Traeger wood pellet grill that's about 20 years old and still going strong. After harvesting an elk this year I made my first elk sausage. It could be way better but I'm on the right track. Went with an elk, bacon, mango, and...

Ok This seems to be the winner. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0002YU2YS/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20

If they have those at the 'Depot I may pick that up tomorrow when I put this together with my buddy. I'll more than likely put another ball valve or even a bulkhead and plug. I'll also look at getting some insulation, but I rarely brew on real cold days. I guess I can now brew in the garage...

I only do 5 gal batches currently. I am not "planing" on doing larger ones but I also never really planed to go electric at one point either. Here is the element I'm currently looking at. http://amzn.to/1PvYMIX

All the additional costs do is make this take longer. I'm more than happy to shell out 100 bucks to not get electrocuted to the insurance is definitely getting in place.

"If I can't handle that." Great help. I'm simply looking at my options. Good point as far as the portability goes. I'll look at the 5500w element in the am. I'm sure I can find something to do with the extra hole.

I said all needed holes were drilled. I fixed it for a little more clarification. I cancelled my order for the two 2500W elements for the time being. They were the Camco 02492. My thought behind the two lower watts versus a single higher one, is the lower watts will draw less and have less...

I do have two holes for the 1600W elements the previous brewer had in place for a 120v controller. I am looking at getting two 2500W Camco elements to keep myself at a good draw and have room for additional equipment. Would two smaller elements be a bad idea versus one larger 5500W or similar...

I had my dad come over an take a look. He's a mechanical engineer and has quite a bit of electrical experience. His recommendation was to have an extension cord from the dryer plug in to the brew controller. He brought over 15 feet of extension cord for me too which will help. Looks like it'll...

Here's a slightly stupid question, if I have a 30A 240 right inside the garage, am I just able to add another outlet in the garage off that? Or would I need to run a whole other circuit and ad a panel?

Understandable. I'm planning on 5 gal batches, and see no real desire to go 10 in the immediate future. I believe, and I'm sure I'll need an electrician to assist with this, that if I add another 30A circuit for the garage I'll need to run more power to the house. This is part of the issue I'm...

I thought so too. one of those 6:1 half a dozen the other situations. I'm leaning towards the 120v setup so I have less parts to buy, and it's able to be brought to other people's houses for brew days. I'm building the box and installing everything Wednesday so I have a few days to iron out...

Hi guys, Well I've had it with propane. It seems as a neighbors fart will cause the flame to go out and I'm moving on up. I had a friend rebuild his electric kettle and I was able to nab a full sized keg with the basket and all necessary holes drilled. He gave me two Camco 02852 units which are...

I bought "The Carbonator" from the LHBS today. Sounds like that's a perfect tool for this.

Hi guys, I have a creation that I need to get off the counter. About a year ago I brewed a Apple Cider. It turned out pretty good and I had about a quart leftover. Luckily I was given some cherry juice by my mother in law which I had added some sugar, and let ferment. OG was around 1.150 and...

Usually I brew in the bag, then pull the bag and hang it above the pot to drain. Give it a rinse with some hot water and begin the boil.

Hi guys, I switched to AG about a year ago and have been incorporating the BIAB method. I am growing my setup to include a better keggle, mill, and a few other things and am looking into changing up my process a little bit. After about ten BIAB brews my efficiency was anywhere from 60-85...

Brewed this yesterday and so far it smells amazing. I have a big patch of mint in my yard so I opted for a couple handfuls of actual chopped up mint leaves. Mint isn't overpowering at all from what my nose tells me. I used 4 oz unsweetened cocoa and added 8 oz lactose. My goal is to have a...

I like the blending idea. I brewed a citra pale ale this weekend that might be interesting with this BW. Would I be able to add sucrose or another sugar to the keg since it's at 28* or so? I wouldn't think there would be any issue with fermentation at this point. Sent from my iPhone using...

Hi guys, I brewed a Berliner Weisse a couple months ago and as my second sour I thought, what's the worst that could happen. Well I let it ride out to about 1.004 with just the lacto and legged it a few days ago. It's good. Just really sour. What are my options at this point? I would like to...
