Just wanted to say thanks for the excellent customer service I had with Chugger Pumps. We bought two pumps at the beginning of last summer and had some issues with them recently. When I emailed Chugger they responded very fast and replaced them no questions asked. I have been very pleased...

Does anyone know where to get 85%. All I can find is 10%.

How Would this impact the flavor of the beer if there were no chlorine present in the water. I understand what it does and is used for, I just would like to know specifically what it would do if no chlorine were present.

Is there ever a case where I should treat my sparge water. My water is very soft and I have never treated my sparge water. I have made adjustments to the mash water with great success. pH 7.8 Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) Est 55 Electrical Conductivity, mmho/cm 0.09 Cations / Anions...

I've been using HWD Elements for a while now. I have a 5500 watt element in my RIMS heater and a 4500 watt in my boil kettle. I purchased both elements because they are stainless elements. I think I purchased one at Lowes and one at Home Depot. I also wanted to see if it was possible to...

I am in the process of getting my water analysis done so I can make adjustments using TH's spreadsheet. If I make adjustments correctly should my pH land in the correct range or is this independent of mineral content?

I have a no sparge system and I am finding my grain absorption is not the same with different amounts of grain. I am using a converted sanke keg with a sabco false bottom. This mash tun is bottom draining. I had a 1/2" coupler welded to the bottom. It also has a sight glass. I have double...

Is anyone familiar with PWM settings. I have a controller from work that has PWM outputs. I am not sure where to set the Zero Width, Max Width and the Period. The minimum time I can set is 0.1 second. Do some SSRs have limitations on these settings? If I understand this correctly I could...

I only have control of the fridge now. I would like to add controls to the cooler on the left next. Luckily the only things I had to purchase were the Auber Controller and the temperature probe. Everything else was free from work. The top outlet is always hot. The bottom outlet is...

This started out as a True 2 door beer cooler.

I was discussing a herms design with a friend of mine and we were trying to come up with a heat exchanger. He suggested using a CF chiller for the heat exchanger. This sounds like a great idea. Circulate the wort through the inner tube and circulate the hot water through the outer tube. This...
