Hydro arrived today at his house however tube and beer thief will arrive tomorrow, finger crossed it's just a bad seal, it's been in the primary for 4.5 days now (5.5 tomorrow) so hopefully we are sitting at a 1.025 or below reading

I would guess a leaky seal, I told him to check the seals. Still no signs, I primed him a hydrometer and tube yesterday so he can check it hopefully tomorrow

I recently was teaching my brother in law to homebrew this weekend. I was making 3 different beer Octoberfest, Foreign Extra Stout, and a Porter. I made the Octoberfest while he made the porter and he followed me step by step. All is well with those two brews. However on the stout, I had him try...

Can I save it?

What do I do?

With a pumpkin ale do you know the "desired" CO2 levels? I understand that its subjective, but a range would be nice. I was shooting for 2.3 but i calculated it at 10 Gallons. is 2.0 too low? How long will conditioning take?

i made a pumking clone that is very high ABV. It's a 15 gallon batch of all grain and after loses, testing, and tasting it was about 12 gallons bottled. We made an error in calculating priming sugar and only added about 8oz of dextrose. It's been carbonating for 4 weeks at 70f. Am I over...

My wants have changed based on what I have available to me without having to worry about buying, installing, checking, breakers. I know how to check my Outlets (which i do every month or two as directed).I know don't a lot about electrical work, but im learning the more a read and the more...

From another thread https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f170/120v-3000w-heating-element-263437/

from 155 to 212?

I think my problems are all arising from trying to use 240V/30A when i could run on 120V/20A I Could buy a second heating element ($17) and run them both with 120V, and with the power drop still be at 3325W ((5500W on 120V= 1375W on 11.5A) + (2000W on 120V= 2000W on 16.6A) = 3325W) this...

even if two plugs splice into one wire, like this? 120V =[]-------\ }----------------[]======== =[]-------/ 240V wire 120V I dont know if that can be done, but with all the differing set-ups, needing to wait until i can meet up with the electrician, the danger, the...

I know an License Electrician (i wont see him until xmas however) what is a list of things I need to buy to get this done? I want to plug this into into 120V outlets and still get full power from Element. Can this be done by using 2 plugs and that branch from the wire going to the element. I...

So to error on the side of caution, just buy this: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000HEIVXC/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20 is 50 a good price?

My apartment Complex (fairly new) told me that to be up to code they must install GFCI breakers in all units. Should I have reason to doubt him? I also dont see a test button, do i have to remove the panel to see this?

I have a 5500W also, but I will be using it on 12 gallons give or take. If you at 70 percent for 7 gallons (roughly 10% power per gallon) im assuming ill be running at 100%. I know its not a linear trend but it will be close.

Kal: The Breakers in my main panel are all GFI so I will be fine. Thank you again for all of your help. I am making a KBS clone at the end of the month and I want to make sure I dot my i's and cross my t's. Swab: will this unit really create that vigorous of a boil? I generally make 10 gallon...

You know I love my diagrams (visual guy): Better? *Control box is a typo ment project box

So I will need a breaker than.

You guys have been amazing. Final Questions and I think i can start my build Thursday as planned. First question, Is this wire good to run from the heating element to the switch...
