I recently purchased this PWM for use in a stir plate: http://www.ebay.com/itm/130574312785 I believe I have it wired correctly, there are only four terminals Input +/- and output +/-. One set is labeled +/- and the other m+/m-. I assume the +/- is the input and the other set is the output...

The title pretty much says it all... Do I really need two transformers, or can I get away with just two of the adjustable power supplies?

I brewed a Tripel yesterday, its currently sitting in my ferm chamber cooling with no yeast pitched (ground water is too warm so I have to finish the job in the chamber). I am going to be adding the sugar near the end of primary fermentation, as Jamil recommended on his podcast, and I had a...

I harvested the yeast cake from a ten gallon batch of belgian pale (1.053 og), and put it along with 2.5l sterile water into an erlenmeyer flask so that it will separate and i can harvest just the yeast. it has been separating for about an hour, and the top part seems to be a foamy krausen...

I have three perlick 425's and one 525. I would like to trade the 525 for a 425 so i can have a matching set. Let me know!

OK, The wife and I came up with this for our first draft of our logo ... opinions?

For the record, Im sure this has been asked and answered, but I couldn't find it. I built a collar for my little 5cu foot chest freezer today so that it can support two carboys. I also installed my ebay temp controller (STC-1000), but Im not sure what the best way to wire it is. I have...

Here is my panel with the panel removed. My house was built in 72 so stuff in there is pretty old. The label describing which circuit each breaker supplies is less than helpful. It seems like there are more 2-pole breakers (30A+) than should be required. My current large current electric...

OK, I wired up my control panel based on Ohio-Ed's E-Stop circuit and a diagram from PJ available in my prior thread. I think I did pretty well, everything that carries 220V/30A is 10GA stranded THHN, and everything else is 14GA (except the RTD which is whatever it came with. The RTD is...

I assembled my Control Panel per P-J's diagram: http://www.pjmuth.org/beerstuff/images/Auberin-wiring1-a4-5500w-30a-e-stop.jpg When I turn on the CP and select the correct element, it just goes full boar. Regardless of what the settings on the PID are. I have the red hot wire controlled by...

So, I have decided I'm going to purchase the Das Keyboard (Das Keyboard: The mechanical keyboard that clicks). I know, $130 for a keyboard, but I'm switching from a laptop to a desktop, need a keyboard and just cant stand the quiet-key type keyboards. Do I get the Ultimate model that has...

I found two corney's on cl for $10 a piece, they seem to be in good shape from the pics, although the guy said they sat in his back yard for a couple of years. One is ball lock (like my whole setup) and one is pin lock. Should I get the pin lock for $10, or just take the ball? I figure I can...

I drew this up in SketchUp, as a plan for my brewstand, and I am looking for some input. It is constructed of 4x4's, 2x4's and some plywood. I'm also going to put some casters on the bottom. I decided to go with a two tier setup, so that I will only need to use one pump, and I also wanted...

I brewed my first lager, a doppelbock which came in at 1.080 OG. I pitched it at 55f on 9/9/11 and it has stayed at 55f. I underpitched fairly heavily ... which was unavoidable, due to time restrictions. My starter was 4L, I only pitched one vial of WLP833, and shook the starter every time I...

I brewed a Russian Imperial Stout on 8/28 and I think the fermentation has stopped. It was a ten gallon batch split between two 7.5gal buckets. I aerated poorly, long story ... but i was drunk and tired. I 'pitched' two 11.5g packets of us-05 on each bucket at about 80f, but eight hours...

OK, I'm coming home in two weeks for R&R from iraq, and ive forgotten to order an airstone. Does anyone have an extra they can "loan" me? I dont really want to buy one and pay $8 for shipping just for that. I'll be picking one up from the LHBS during my leave, but my schedule wont allow...

So, I have 18 months left in the army, in Texas, 15 of which I will be able to brew (I get back from Iraq in like three months). After that, I will be moving back to Oregon where the water is soft and awesome. My water here is pretty hard (although not as bad as some of the reports i've seen...

I want to oxygenate, and not aerate my wort. At first I was thinking one of those little regulators for the disposable oxygen tanks, but I really dont like the idea of using disposable tanks. I would really like a medical regulator because they aren't very expensive and they regulate the...

I need something like this: http://www.mcmaster.com/#stainless-steel-pipe-fittings-and-pipe/=d324gf The biggest problem with that one is that it is $72 and there HAS to be much cheaper options out there... I am using this to make a sightglass/thermometer for my kettles.

I am trying to decide if it is worth $100 or so extra to be able to produce 15 gallon batches with this pot: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000VXKJJ8/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20 I figure a keggle will cost $50, and the bayou classic is $150. I am building an electric brewery, so it will be...
