I've had issues with my control panel since I purchased it. Unfortunately, there is no way I can send the panel back to the person who originally built it now. As long as I've had it, there have been issues with the HLT PID. The first one was bad, that was replaced by the person who built it...

I had an issue with my panel, sent it back and it was gone for months. I finally got it back and while it "works" the temperature probe on my HLT reads 95F when the water is actually 185F. I have my probe in my ball valve and water runs through the pump back into my HLT while it heats to my...

I'm at a loss and probably incapable of figuring out what's wrong because I'm frustrated. I fired up my HLT today and it was fine. Then I realized the water only heated to 62F. It should be at 170 by now. I noticed the element wasn't hot at all and the PID showed AL2 and OUT lit, which is...

Looking for White Oak Jai Alai or Victory Java Cask. I have one 4 pack of Hop Drop n Roll dated 12/29. Open to other offers.

I think I made a mistake with my build, which may or may not cost me. I'm about to install my HERMs coil in my HLT. Right now I have a temp probe in the water out valve of my HLT. My control panel has two PIDs and two temp probe connections. One is for the HLT the other for the BK. I never...

I'm selling an extra 2" TriClamp Weldless Bulkhead Fitting from Still Dragon. This was going to be used on my HLT, but the pot wouldn't allow for a complete seal. There may be a light scratch or two from using a wrench, but it is new and unused. You can fit both a straight and wavy element...

I have a long piece of high heat tubing that can't attached to an elbow and a Camlock from Brew Hardware. The tube was way too long so I cut it and now I can't get the tube back over the elbow. I tried very hot water, I tried a little bit of vegetable oil, I tried to do it dry, and each method...

I have a couple of questions regarding my electric setup. I have a HERMS coil, but I don't have the hardware to set it up yet. I want to do a run through without it. Can I put the probe for my HLT in a T pipe like shown below? The probe is longer, so it has to be inserted the way I'm showing it...

I received my Ward Labs water report and entered in all of the data in Bru'n water. I added a grain bill of 95% Golden Promise and 5% Rye. In trying to do the adjustments to match the target water adjustment of a pale ale, I noticed that first the Sodium shows -7.0 and the cell is red, but I...

My HERMS coil will be 50' 1/2" OD tubing. I can choose to have it 10" diameter or 12 1/2" diameter. The kettle is 15.6" in diameter. I think I would be fine if I choose 12 1/2" diameter. That leaves the coil 8-9" high. The 10" diameter is 10-11" high. I feel that is leaving me with too much...

I have a 50a control panel that I've yet to use for a variety of reasons. I finally got my kettles back but one of the two kettles has to be junked and a new one will be purchased tomorrow. I'd like to test the other kettle, which is my brew kettle, by just heating up water. Can I run the...

I have an in-line filter and a drinking water hose that I intend to use for brewing. I'm trying to find some kind of attachment that will allow me to leave the hose on, but operate it through a sprayer, just like in the garden. Does any old sprayer work or is there such thing as a drinking water...

I can no longer attend NHC and I have one ticket that does not include the banquet. You must be an AHA member to transfer the ticket or even attend. Original price was $224, asking $190. I will also call the hotel where I have a reservation, which is the one the conference is held, and see if...

I usually force carb my kegs at 30 PSI for about 2 days. Yesterday I was unable to turn the gas down so a peanut butter chocolate stout sat on the gas at 30 PSI for 3 full days. I took a glass today after pouring off nearly 2 pints (to rule out trub and just rinse the line from the water that...

So the headache or saga continues with my elements. I bought a tri-clover adapter for each of my elements that are already housed in a box type setup, but one adapter appears to have a longer ferrel than the other making it impossible to fit my wavy element through the weldless bulkhead. One...

http://www.myfoxtwincities.com/story/28834180/spotted-cow-beer-sold-illegally-at-bar-in-maple-grove-minn This was interesting to me because there is a bar/resturant that will get kegs of Cigar City Brewing here in Raleigh maybe once a year, if that, because of his long-time friendship with...

SOLD I bought this item and opted to stick with element adapters on my heating elements. This item fits the 2" weldless bulkhead or any triclover fitting with the right reducers and such. A link to the product is below. Item is $36 plus about $12 shipping to me. I'm asking $38 shipped to the...

Seriously. What is with all this darn yeast? I walk into my LHBS and I have to get through all of the yeast just to get to my hops. I mean, why is it so dang important to have so many choices? It's so trendy to use different yeasts. Does anyone feel like yeast has taken over and there's really...

I'm slowly moving to a HERMs system and now that the outlet for this cooktop has been disabled, I have no reason to keep the cooktop. It has seen 12 batches of beer since I bought it just under a year ago. I will post actual pictures today. I've never had an issue with it and would actually keep...

Personally, the most annoying part of brew day is setting up and tearing down my equipment. I don't even mind the cleaning part, it's just having to walk back and forth to my garage to put everything in my kitchen and start brewing. Then an idea was born, a brew shed. I first looked at my...
