On sankey kegs, would there be a way to remove the spear, and cap off the top port? I've never taken one apart, so I'm not familiar with the workings of the spear assembly. If the spear is removed will a coupler still seal? Or, preferably, with the spear removed is there a way to thread in a...

Is it normal for my stainless herms coil to be covered in rust spots? I haven't used any steel wool or anything that would imbed into the stainless. I had noticed the imperfections on the coil after receiving it, but they have all rusted now after one test run with water.

The manual for my PID controller shows where RTD wires: S1, S2, and S3 go. My RTD wire has two reds and a white. Looking at the manual (see attached) it looks like S2 and S3 go to the same place. Would those be the red wires then, and if so, does it not matter which is wired where?

Moving from mashing in a cooler to a larger three pot HERMS system. Also interested in increasing my liquor/grist ratio to 2.0 after reading that's about what Strong uses, and after reading some of Kai Troester's research as well. Ran some numbers and came up with the following. For a...

Edit: The ones I mentioned below aren't functional. However, how about two 2600w elements, or any suitable external options? If one was to place four 1500w hot plates under their boil kettle, would that be equivalent to having a 6000w element submerged? Minus any inevitable heat loss. Just...

I've read through lots of threads dating back 5+ years that discuss using a false bottom in the kettle as a means of filtering out hops/break material. Some have said that the use of pellet hops can clog the false bottom. Others seem to use pellets just fine. I would like to explore what...

Switching to electric with 5500W Camco elements in both the HLT and kettle. Please take a look at my plans for the controller and let me know if I've got the wrong idea on any of this. There will be one PID with a double pole, double throw switch after the SSR. This should allow me to cut all...
