thanks for the help. I must really suck at wiring. narrowed a few down and just need to take things apart and tinker.

thinking out loud here but would it matter to the gfi if i am running some things off 120 and some of 240 and one of the legs is pulling more?

Gfi holds with 2 of the 220 breakers on, not the 110 and not the other 220. I have one of the hot wires off the SSR going to my led light, would the SSR leak power and cause this? I disconnected that and it doesnt pop. Then i took the wire and touched it back to the ssr, it worked untill i...

I Just got my new electric system set up and am having problems with the Gfci i just installed. It ran fine with the 50amp breaker before and added the 50amp gfci. Apparently i am having a ground fault? Is this correct? It trips when i plug in my bcs, also trips when i flip both of my...

I am working on building my stand now and am looking at using aluminum. Anyone see any down falls of this besides $$? I am all electric too so no worries about flames.

I am just redoing my previous build and am am going for an on off auto switch. In my last one it was all controlled by bcs, but i had a contractor to cut all power from the element. Do you think i shoud still wire up this contractor after the on off auto to cut all power or is this simply over...

Ive made two or three beers with this yeast. I didend do a starter but pitched a large portion of slurry to it. Probably over pitched. I did shake the carboys to oxygenate and added nutrients. Normally in two weeks its done. I will give it more time. U think its just needs more time?

I am a little freaked out on the last 3 beers ive done with us 05. My ipa dident finish dry enough, thinking of pulling it out of the keg and adding a yeast to finish it up, its way to sweet! I did mash it at 154... But the two i am more concerned about are my last two. I made a coffee stout...

Stick with UL or L, Ive messed with all kinds, and love the UL, never had a problem with them, and ran it dry for a wile on accident, burning the wart when my valve clogged. But other than that i have opened it up every time to check if there was burnt wort. Never found any with it. I dont...

How well does your vent hood work? I could use something like that if it worked. I just like to humidify my basement with a gallon of water that gives me a stuffy nose at night

I want to put a electric element into a keg with out cutting the top off the keg. so there will be no access to the inside, would you recommend that i solder a fitting onto the side, or is it possible to just thread the keg shell and screw it in?

I just brewed it last night, but had a few problems, boiled over, and also over sparged. I ended up boiling for 90 to reduce the water, but still missed my mark. I hit 1068, do you guys think it will be too hoppy for this gravity? I was also thinking of adding some sugar to get it to 1072. I...

I bet it would be safer than gas for sure. You won't have flames to ignite the splattering oil
