Hi, doug293cz helped me to figure out an in-line GFCI solution in the thread Another 240 Volt GFCI Question which avoids building a panel or messing with the breaker box. I simply unplug the adapter when it's time to dry the laundry. Cheers,

Hi, I decided to use an alternate pump with that CIP and got this (1/4 HP version) on Amazon https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000X05G1A/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I mix pbw with hot tap water to fill a 5 gallon bucket, submerge the pump and cycle the mix with 1.5...

I've lived in the Ukraine and have spent time in a Kiev jail. Never brewed there though... Cheers,

Wow! 😲 That is serious indeed. I had gotten my hands on a unitank and from the youtubes I seen, apparently fermenting under pressure will suppress the height of the krausen (?) I reckon this is where the Fermzillas and similar will be an advantage in this regard. Cheers,

Oh, I see. I wasn't aware that some of those types of notes were the result of reactions involving oxygen. So it's still worth a bit of aging instead of quaffing it all down straight away. In any case it's good to know that the darks will taste good after just a few weeks. I'll give it a go...

OK, fair enough. I understood about the insane fermentation temperatures and so forth but I've never seen a post where it was stated that a stout or porter fermented in this way was as good as those aged in the traditional time consuming way. People only seem to talk about it's use in IPA's and...

Hi guys, Not being facetious or rude when I ask the question: "Then what?" Just trying to understand the nature of the beast. When used for stouts/porters and so forth is it still necessary to condition these big beers for onward of 8 months in order for them to mature? If that's...

OK, thanks again for the clear explanation. I'd be interested in what your research reveals regarding the trip times. Cheers doug,

Hi Cato, thanks for the confirmation. Yes, I agree. If I were not able to find the unit with the molded plugs I probably would have gone with that version. Adding the ebay adapter will just make everything plug-n-play. Cheers,

Hi doug, wow, thanks for the clarification. That makes sense that the two should be bonded at the panel. I must have missed the part about neutral carrying current in the primer. During my searching I thought I recalled seeing youtube examples of where the bonding occurred at the socket, or...

Hi, geez, thanks for catching that. See what I mean? It was all supposed to be so easy. One minor oversight and you're in the front row seat of the electric chair. I feel a LOT better now! Thanks again guys, greatly appreciated! Cheers,

Hi, many thanks for responding. Yes, in fact the product manual warns that it should not be operated unless both the 120v as well as the 240v supply lines are plugged into a GFCI circuit. The statement about the dryer is what attracted me to the unit. They even offer a power cord that has the...

Hi folks, Just getting back into brewing after decades long absence. I've searched all over the forum as well as have read the electric tutorial sticky but many of the thread links are gone so I don't yet have a complete picture. Installation of a 240 v 30 amp breaker is not an...

Hello, I'm interested in the SS conical. Would you consider shipping to Illinois? If so kindly contact me. Cheers
