I moved from extract to BIAB 3 years ago, I have a small but very efficient EBIAB system that makes great beer. Nevertheless I always felt I was not a "complete" brewer, I had to give the three vessel system a go, so I did, one time, made great beer, Just like my EBIAB system, Longest brew day...

I live in Texas so no Cigar City around either, but I had one last year when taking the kids to Disney World, I remember a very nice brown ale with a strong malt backbone with a nutty taste. Please post pics of the final result, it seems like a good base brown ale recipe to play with.

Has anybody taken a look at the published recipes from the guys of Brewdog here is the link http://www.brewdog.com/diydog all you need is your email to download a PDf document with 226 pages of recipe. Every recipe is for 5 gallons and very nicely explain, except for the hop additions...

Getting ready to use my electric BIAB pot for first time this Saturday, done all my tests (Dry, boil off, etc) My only question is when it gets time to put my immersion chiller in the pot (usually 10 min before flame out to disinfect ) Can you put the chiller on top of the heating element while...

My kitchen wire is 12 awg, the green wire is 14 awg that I had laying around, and I just went ahead and made the trip to homedepot and I am to code now. Kh2o, I will be plugging a 2000 watt 120v element. Now, this circuit includes my fridge, any concerns of brewing and having the fridge...

Kh2o, so That means my wire is 14 awg? I am sorry I got lost here

Thanks DarkUncle

By the way, I know those receptacles look nasty, I already cleaned them:)

So, one side of the receptacle says 20A, but the other 15A, the cables look 12 gauge but I could not confirm, House is 9 years old. at the breaker panel all my kitchen, garage and bathrooms have 20A breakers.

Thanks for the comments, it seems that these things do break! and that is when a solid warranty comes into play. I really like how the 20A Brau is constructed, I just wish Steven could offer a couple more years of warranty, instead of just one. I don't pretend to have these controllers last a...

How do you know for sure you have 20A service? This is one of the receptacles in my kitchen, and on my breaker panel it has a 20A breaker, but the regular 5-15 receptacle trows me off, it is supposed to have a 5-20, doesn't it? Thanks in advance guys

Yeah, that lifetime warranty sure is a great point in their favor

Hey Thanks, that jagger bush brewing controllers for $200 looks good, I will do a bit of research on it.

I am about to take the plunge and order one of this systems, but I am having a hard time deciding since I don't have any experience with PID controllers. The system I am putting together is a 6 gallon pot, 2000 watts, 120V element, and no pump (at least for now). Prices are identical, the analog...

The aluminum pot definitely feels hotter that my SS, to the point of not been able to touch the handles while the water is hot, so I guess that is where my heat is going, last night the pot was half empty, leaving all this dry metal as a radiant heat source, anyway, at the end of the tale, I...

Gas, the aluminum pot definitely gets hotter than my SS, you can't even take the pot by the handles when the water is hot

I have a gas stove, the new 6 gal. aluminum pot is about half inch wider and taller than my 5 gal SS, I could try covering the pot yes, but like I said, I never had a problem boiling 3 gal without a lid before on my slightly smaller SS pot, weird, I can still do the mash in the aluminum and then...
