Built my homebrew setup back in 2014 and recently the house got struck by lightning. Only thing (for the brewery) I had to replace was the Aubur SYL-2362. I got it wired up the same way, but cannot for the life of me remember any of the settings, and I don't think the temperature probe is...

I've had a Love TSS2 for several years and recently it started throwing a shorted probe error. I unplugged the one that was causing the issue, but now the other probe reads low into the negatives (between -16 to -32) when I have it set at 27, but the inside temp is no where near that cold. If I...

Does anyone have a recipe for Boulevard Bob's 47 Oktoberfest? I had this the other day and thought it was amazing, would love to brew it. http://www.boulevard.com/BoulevardBeers/bobs-47-oktoberfest/

http://imgur.com/a/x4HuL Can anyone help identify what may be going wrong with my hops? I noticed the damage this morning, and don't know what caused it. I also noticed a ton of little mushroom blooms. These were not present when I checked 2 days ago. I am using raw bailing wire for my...

I am planning on placing my element opposite my valve and dip tube on my keggle with the hopes that the 5500W Ripple element will bend around the dip tube. I'm wondering though how high I need to place it, the lower the better right? Especially if I want to do some 5 gallon batches. But I've...

I have these two contractors (http://www.ebrewsupply.com/63a-din-contactor.html and http://www.ebrewsupply.com/25a-din-contactor.html) for main power and power to the element. I am struggling on how to wire these. What do the numbers represent, and which numbers get the 220v input power. Also...

So I've decided to go electric. I've been contemplating this for a long time and been doing a TON of research. If you've seen the master thread of all of PJs diagrams I put together then you have an idea of how long I've been thinking about this. I debated wether or not I would do HERMS or...

I have a KegCo regulator . It will not hold at the pressure I set it too, it will slowly go to the max PSI then blowing off slowly if I have to connected to my kegs. It will rise to max almost immediately if I disconnected or shut the inline valves. Anyone have this problem before, do I have...

Has anyone used a controller like this? Is it a good price? http://www.ebay.com/itm/220v-240v-110v-120v-5500w-moonshine-brewing-PID-heating-element-controller-kit-/200878880221?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2ec55075dd All I need to do is heat my HLT then run a pump to my mashtun cooler...

Is there a way to pull metrics from Beersmith across all your own recipes. I'm trying to determine what grains, hops, adjuncts, etc. I use the most. Would be nice if there was a way to do some graph based on a folder of recipes. Anyone know of a way to do this?

So I put my immersion chiller into the boil for the final 10 minutes and when I went to go hook up the hose I noticed that the black rubber O-Ring on the fitting was missing. I thought it had just fallen off so no big deal I had a fitting on the other end I was able to use. When I was...

If my house breaker box has room can't I just add this to it and be good? Then add a wall outlet. Why is everyone buying a new panel. Is there something I'm missing.

I've seen several posts that someone should make a thread with all of PJ's amazing diagrams. I don't know if this is all of them, but it should be a good start. I've put a very basic description above each diagram, but it may not be accurate as I was trying to interpret what I was seeing in the...

I will start another build thread, but I am in the very early stages of making a parts list and building out how much this is actually going to cost me. The kettle conversion seems straight forward enough, but the control panel has so many different options. I am thinking about doing the...

I am wanting to do an E-HERMS system and have been thoroughly reading over the information and step at theelectricbrewery.com, but I think for the control piece I am going with the BCS to save money on that front. One thing I've notice from PJ's wiring diagrams for 2 burners is there are...

Does anyone of a parts list for a full 3 Keg conversion. Wanting to do a HLT, MT and BK. I know I will need a false bottom kit like this for the MT, but is there a list of all the other stuff I am going to be requiring?

OK, I have some (old) ingredients that I am going to use tonight, but don't know exactly/approximately what style of beer this is going to turn out to be, anyone know what I am about to make or should call this mess? 4 lbs LME Light 1 lbs Brewers Malt 2-Row 8.0 oz...

Hi All, My cider has the "Rhino Fart" smell and I was going to add some Raisins to it for nutrients. It is about 3 days into Primary. How many raisins should I process, and do I have to sanitize them somehow? First time doing a cider and want to make sure my Nottingham yeast is happy happy.

I've seen the wiring diagram on how to wire this controller with 2 probes, but haven't seen anyone using it this way yet. I will be using 1 probe to control the Freezer and another for a ferm wrap or brew belt when I am doing an Ale at the same time as a lager. Is anyone else using it this...

I am purchasing a chest freezer to do my fermentation in and have had a couple situations in the past (and right now) where I will be fermenting an Ale and Lager at the same time. I would like to be able to do both in the same freezer. Is there a temperature controller that has a dual probe...
