My last brew was so long ago I have forgotten, but I will be brewing an amber ale Fat Tire clone here very soon! Hope that counts :)

The blichmann boil coil for 7.5 gallon pots is close to what you want but circular, the diameter of the ring is 9" but the total depth is a bit more, 10.8" https://www.blichmannengineering.com/sites/default/files/boilcoil_dimensional_drawing_v2.PDF EDIT: Except it's only 2000W :(

Sure thing, let me know if you need any further help.

after tinkering I found that the thing just mandates the www.brewerwall.com (but oddly following the 302 didn't work?): curl http://www.brewerwall.com/api/v1/yeasts/33 [{"id":"33","laboratory":"White Labs","strain":"WLP099","name":"Super High Gravity Ale Yeast","description":"Can ferment up to...

I looked at this and it looks really cool, thanks for the info, but sadly when I try to use the API, I get a redirect, is it working: curl -v http://brewerwall.com/api/v1/yeasts * Trying 162.255.119.225... * TCP_NODELAY set * Connected to brewerwall.com (162.255.119.225) port 80 (#0) > GET...

I just bought one of these to see what quality it was, and it seems pretty decent for the cost: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N3JTGET/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20 (I'm doing 15 gallon sized so I can do most 10 gallon batches and really big beer 5 gallon batches). It seems decent, but I've not...

That's great info, thanks, (thus my quote about not being an electrician :D) You learn something new every day!

Gotcha, I'm no electrician, but as I understand it GFCI's don't trip more than other circuit breakers, they only trip when there's a major fault sending too much current to earth instead of through to neutral, so that should never increase the amount of tripping incidents to the dryer... no?

I may not be following your point, but having a GFCI on the circuit won't increase the amount of times it trips, it means it will trip to stop you from dying. Paying for the spa panel is, I'm thinking, a separate point? Good luck, seems they are getting more expensive :( ~Phil

Isn't that the exact same thing that @hlmbrwng just said?

Excellent, was somewhat wondering that myself. So either the one you recommend, or if going hannah, they have this: https://hannainst.com/hi98128-phep-ph-tester.html. It seems the apera is a bit less expensive, are they generally considered better than hannah, or same ballpark quality etc?

This is an area I've been researching lately as well. What about the Hannah phep+ it has .01 ph resolution, and accuracy of .1, and two point calibration. https://hannainst.com/hi98108-phep-ph-tester.html

I'd try and dump the cake/trub now, then let it sit for 24 hours or more to settle back down, and then transfer, yes. Then you have less yeast in the fermenter when you transfer to the keg. Only what's in suspension will settle back to the bottom. You'll stir it up a touch dumping, but get...

This. I used to brew in Utah, and with the extremely dry air there got very good boil off volume and had it pretty dialed in. I've only done one batch here in WA but the humidity is much higher, so it doesn't draw as much moisture into the air as quickly/easily, so the boil off rate is...

Stirring up the yeast cake shouldn't hurt the beer, no, it had that yeast all over in it for some time. So long as you didn't add any oxygen in, you're going to be fine. I'd definitely drop that cake/trub off now, and then let it sit for a while to clarify again a bit. Maybe cold crash the...
