    Is this even possible? EBIAB dual 120/240v controller

    I would like to build one controller that can do both small batches using a 120v 2000w element or larger batches using a 240v 5500w element. I would have a small pot with a 120v element installed and a big pot with a 240v element installed. My hope would be to use a switch to select 120 or...

    I just got beer or apfelwine in my secondary regulator-How screwed am I?

    I was trying to push starsan from 1 keg to another. I hooked up a gas line from my taprite 3 way secondary regulator to the starsan keg, and the other 2 gas lines were hooked to kegs of apfelwine and IPA. I started pushing the starsan into the empty keg, and noticed liquid flowing in the gas...

    Clean element before 1st use?

    This may be a dumb question, but I just received a stainless 5500w ripple element from BrewHardware and I'm wondering if it needs any kind of cleaning before 1st use. Are there any manufacturing oils, etc on it? Should I just hang the element part only in some PBW, or passivate with starsan...

    My first harvest from my first attempt at growing

    I picked up a Centennial and Columbus rhizome this spring and planted them in 5 gallons buckets. The spot I put them in didn't get as much sun as I thought it would, but had plenty of room for vertical growth. I kinda half-assed the grow, gave them some fish fertilizer a couple of times and...

    Help,kegerator won't get below 50f

    I have a kegerator I made from a Frigidaire Model FRC445GB mini fridge about 2 years ago. Starting about a week ago, the temperature won't get below about 50f. I had it on an stc-1000+ controller, and tried it just straight plugged in on the coldest setting, but it still won't get below 50. It's...

    Kegsmarts from the PicoBrew people

    I hadn't heard of this before I saw a front page ad on HBT this morning. It's a kegerator and a kegerator control system. I'm looking into the diy controller setup only for my kegerator. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1708005089/kegsmarts-the-worlds-smartest-kegerator/description...

    Does water weigh the same hot or cold?

    Sorry, I'm not so strong on sciencey/math stuff. OK, so water weighs 8.33 or 8.34 pounds per gallon. I know it changes volume when heated, what about weight? Will it weigh the same when it's boiling as it would at 60^? I just had the idea about putting a weight sensor under a pot and using...

    Made a smoked Rye ipa this morning

    I thought I smelled something funny during the boil. Aventco 3500w induction burner with a 26qt Concord pot. Pouring into the fermenter I started to see black chunks. This is what the bottom of the pot looks like. Well, there goes a wasted morning...

    No kreusen with 05 in a dark beer?

    I brewed a 2.5g Left Hand Milk Stout clone on monday. Pitched a full packet of un-rehydrated 05 at 64 and put in in the ferm chamber at 65. Three days later and there has been no kreusen/goop at the top. It seems to be fermenting, though as my OG was 1.070 and the hydrometer reading I took...
