I'm trying to wrap my head around switches and am getting more confused than anything. I finally understand the difference between NO and NC, and somewhat understand the differences between SPST/SPDT/DPST/DPDT. But what I don't understand is the reason for having 1 Contact Block vs 2 Blocks...

I need 3 off/on switches and 2 auto/off/on ... my build says the off/on switches need to be SPST and the Auto/off/on switches need to be SPDT. I can only find switches like these http://www.radioshack.com/flat-lever-heavy-duty-toggle-switch/2750651.html#.VOtcRcnTnqA...

I am in the process of automating my Mash Tun with a low heat and constant recirculation method, with the gas controlled by a PID and Honeywell Valve. My control panel to start will have a 110 V Input, a Master Power switch, an Inlet for the Pump with a switch and led, a 24v transformer for...

I'm going to start sourcing all the supplies to build my automated brew rig and I have a question about solenoid valves. I've been using the 2007 BYO issue for the BRUTUS 10. I know this is an old issue and model numbers may have changed so I'm having trouble finding the solenoid valve he used...

I've got the B3-36A. For the most part, I love it. Super quick knock outs however I can't for the life of me seem to ever get this thing clean. I have Red Hot Devil Lye, although I can't seem to find any decent instructions on how to use it my process has been to add some to cool water raise...

I read an article recently and it talked about the water used for making hoppy pale beers and had some tips and suggestions from a very good hoppy beer home brewer. He said he starts from scratch, using RO water and adds Calcium Sulfate and Calcium Chloride to get around 250ppm Sulfates and...

Doh! Didn't realize my regular's check valve and air line were 5/16" and I bought a 1/4" distributor. Can either of these be replaced? i.e. put a 5/16" barb on my distributor, or a new 1/4" check valve on my regulator?? edit: Or I could get a splicer if that is recommended

Is it possible to replace my Single Tap 2.5" Draft Tower with a 2 Tap 3" Draft Tower? Got a kegerator recently and the tower is a 2.5" and the flange is 3.5" Could I get the 3" Tower with a 4.5" Flange and just drill new mounting holes? The Towers diameter will be about a 1/2" bigger than...

I read an excerpt from Russian Rivers, Vinnie about dry hopping. He says to keep a blanket of C02 above the beer when dry hopping. What would I need to get to do this. I don't have any kegging equipment so id have to buy the gas and whatever else. Also, how is the purging actually done

Pitched around 1:45 pm today. 4 hours later and theres signs of fermentation. Gotta love a proper pitch rate! :rockin:

I'm going to use bottled Crystal Geyser water, I found this water report online: http://crystalgeyserasw.com/docs/Bottled_Water_Report_Olancha.pdf Calcium: 18.8-23.6 Magnesium: 1.4-2.2 Bicarbonate: 59.2-68.9 Sulfate: 25.5-35.6 Sodium: 19-21.8 Chloride...

I'll start off by saying I know not a thing about water chemistry or the terms or anything. And going through these threads trying to learn is frustrating me and making my head hurt. I live in the La Mesa area of San Diego, I'm pretty sure im part of the Helix Water District but cannot find a...

FoodSaver FreshSaver Handheld Vacuum Sealing System - Walmart.com anyone have one of these or know if this will work for storing hops? I need something to vacuum seal my open bags of hops so I can store them in the freezer for all eternity, well until I use them.

I use a stir plate. And have about 100 mL of washed yeast going on 3 weeks old by the time I brew. So my question is how big of a starter do I make? I use mr malty and it says how many mL of slurry to use. so do i.. 1. Use xx mL and just pitch straight into wort ( no starter ) 2. Make a...

So I washed yeast from a black IPA. I cant remember for sure but is there a rule of thumb about what kind of beers you can brew with washed yeast? I thought i remember reading that it should be a darker beer or am i just mixing up information?? Could I reuse this slurry in a pale ale?

Finally got a better look at my beer when racking and noticed this floating on top. Smells fine, tastes great. But should I be worried??
