    SCR Build Problem

    Do you happen to know how to buy the correct Potentiometer? Do you buy one rated at 470k Ohm or do you buy one based upon the max range at 560k Ohm?

    SCR Build Problem

    Thanks Doug293cz, I did have a 5500 w element on my boiler submerged in water while testing. I did get another potentiometer and tested it and it works better, it may not be the perfect match to my SSR but at about half rotation from zero, it shows up at around 27 volt and increases up to the...

    SCR Build Problem

    Hello, I have built a SCR 240V for my boil keg to control my 5500 W heating element. I followed George’s design on Barley & Hops on YouTube. I ran a test run and my Volt/Amp meter states that when I have the Potentiometer set at 0% I am running at 214V. When I set the Potentiometer at 100% I run...

    What size freezer for fermenation

    No, I did not see it in person, it's a web only price on that one. I did however se several others (14.8cuft) at Sears, Best Buy, ABC Warehouse, Lowes, & Home Depot. They were all the same except one Whirlpool, it had the compressor in the corner instead of the whole end. It is quite large...

    What size freezer for fermenation

    I was going to purchase this one (SEE BELOW) after looking at all the Appliance stores today, it's an online price, but it's free shipping and a good manufacturer (Whirlpool makes Maytag now). I purchased a Fridgedaire 14.8 cuft at Lowes just today, scratch and dent $339 & they threw in an...

    Anyone Use Stackable Vittles Vault Fermenters

    I understand what you want to do and why, I just drilled my 13 gallon Vittle Vault and installed the grommet for the Airlock. I would offer caution with stacking them myself, due to a couple reasons. 1.) Like mentioned prior by someone else, the heat. I figure if one can produce 5 degrees...

    Moving from extract to all grain - Schwarzbier

    :fro: If you do try the BIAB technique, I should mention that several sites showing different people doing BIAB, I noticed some of them don't even use a bag, it looks like they just bought a sheet of Voile (maybe a yard and a half or two) and just drape it into their bucket and either tie a...

    Moving from extract to all grain - Schwarzbier

    I just went All Grain (BIAB) 2 weeks ago. It is quite simple and requires so little equipment. I did around 40 Extract Kits, I was bored and found All Grain to be cheaper. I found a few different sites that helped me alot, I will post them below for you to check out. The BIAB method requires...

    Brewers Best Kits & Nottingham Yeast

    I think I will try the WLP530 on my next Tripel. I like the sounds of the Fruity accent's you mentioned, more so than the Plum flavoring. Thanks for all the info on the yeast, Like I say, I am a bit concerned about using the Nottingham after my past experiences with it. I on average probably...

    Brewers Best Kits & Nottingham Yeast

    Thanks for the input guy's and the links to the Nottingham spec's. I think I will try a Yeast Starter next time and see how that goes. I was considering a Belgian Yeast, maybe one for a higher ABV Brew, but for now I'll try the Nottingham again and check into a Starter. Thanks again.

    Brewers Best Kits & Nottingham Yeast

    Another Newbie, I have a question concerning Yeast. I have purchased 2 kits from Brewers Best. A Russian Imp. Stout & Belgian Tripel. Both of which are a higher ABV brew. My question is why do they give me a Nottingham Yeast, when everything that I have read on this Forum leads me to...
