The Dysfunctional-Palooza Obnoxious Masshole BS Thread

I was kidding. I have a full workshop.

Yeah is that where you keep the gimp?

 

[paulthenurse]

will it be brewcasted again like last year?

Yes. Details will follow.

Nope, that's where I keep your mom!

 

[yeager1977]

I know I have made some lame attempts at jokes and all but, Dakota, that was just sad.....

I need an experienced man to wire up my element.

This guy has been documenting his process extremely well. https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f170/ready-not-e-biab-here-i-come-312256/
Like I said it all dependent on the equipment you buy.

My cousin builds panels for a living and can source the parts cheaply. The only thing he wasn't sure about was installing the element in my kettle, which I could probably do but would rather have someone experienced do for me

I just dimpled and soldered all my kegs. I would assume your going to do the same thing to yours so you can run the elements through and to be able to disassemble and clean.

We can get everything put together, leaving you with wiring everything into your control panel. Based on what you buy is going to determine what you need. If your single element is over 2000 watts you'll need 240 and if you go with 1500 watts or less you can plug into socket.

Most builds go with 2 elements like a single tier then you'll need a sub panel box off your main box. If you go single plug then you'll need to draw from multiple outlets off separate fuses so you don't trip them.

I have my control box for when I convert everything on my system.

Like I said I don't know what you need based on what you bought or have. I can build a sub box and run fuses but internal wiring or your system per controls and operation is solely determined on what you want, need, and bought.

I hope that helps.

It does, thanks! Will let you know when I move on the conversion.

Dakota,
did you end up dimpling the coupling for the electric element too? I'm having a byatch of a time trying to get that done. My set of electric panel knockouts are either too big or too small for the diamter of the 1" NPT short coupling, which is something like 1 11/16" OD.

 

[ComcastWineRookie]

Do be do be do

 

[Cape Brewing]

I think Dakota, Andy and Wrecker should take their nerd talk to the... Uhh... I dunno... ELECTRIC BREWING FORUM.

Effin' electric... pfft... pitiful... brew like men. Brew like it is supposed to be... with FIRE.

I dimpled my keg to solder in the 1/2 coupling but im not going electric for a while. Im still doing propane for at least another year or so.

As for your knockouts you are using, are you using the greenlees?

 

[paulthenurse]

It pains me to admit but Cape is right about this. If you can wear shorts when you brew and not burn off all your leg hair while stirring the pot you probably don't have any leg hair to begin with.

But that's ok, Dakota. It takes all kinds. We like you just the way you are. Hairless legs and all.

Just sayin'

PTN

 

[modernlifeisANDY]

Listen, I brew with fire! I just want to also be able to brew in my basement! Brew day is harder with a 10-month old because she can't help me yet.

 

[DakotaRules]

Your complaining about another way to brew??? Im building a single tier propane stand. Will probably turn that to NG eventually and then for smaller batches brew inside with electric so I don't freeze outside.

This coming from the guy who only brews a couple times a year...Masstoberfest and U4?

When can you drink these???

Don't you have to go scare children riding your bike through a neighborhood somewhere? Where's flounder to back you up?

 

[Cape Brewing]

Freakin' 'lectric. Why not just use a coffee pot?

Ouch. That hurt. I work two jobs and am taking two classes a semester towards my masters. When do I have time to brew? Besides, if I brewed more I'd drink more and be even fatter than I am.

FWIW, I'm brewing this weekend.......

Uhhhhhh nevermind, that's the U4. I might just do a second batch while we're boiling off. There I showed you.

PTN

 

[Cape Brewing]

Wow... There is sad whining. There is pathetic whining. And then there is that last post.

Jeeeeeeeesus.

 

[homebeerbrewer]

What else do you expect from PTN?

 

[paulthenurse]

U4 has begun

 

[paulthenurse]

The Great and Almighty Mega Tun is firing on all 16 cylinders.

 

[Cape Brewing]

Sweeeeet. So I should assume I can pick up my share from last year at anytime?

 

[paulthenurse]

11:45 and we are boiling!

Does anyone else hear that noise? That irritating mosquito-like whine?

 

[Cape Brewing]

Whatever. Yeager chased me around last year for the cash as if someone was holding his family hostage and he needed it for the ransom money.... Now I'm whining because I'm asking for my share? I think I've asked about 20 times and each time I get cricket noises.

 

[paulthenurse]

You gave him money??????



ROTFLMAO!!!!!

 

[Cape Brewing]

Yeah... He said he would clean my pot!

 

[paulthenurse]

You would like him to clean your pot, wouldn't you, you dirty little monkee?

We're four hours into the boil and just had the second tiny boil over of the day when we consolidated pots. Down to about 30 gallons with a gravity it 1.090.
