    Heat Stick for strike and sparge

    Been kicking around the idea of building a heat stick for the sole use of heating strike and sparge water. Do you think just hanging one in my mash tun (round cooler) controlled by an SCT1000 pretty much overnight for the strike would be genius or dumb a$$? I know to keep the element away...

    Idea, has anyone here done this

    Guess I need to order up another SCT and git to wiring :) Like said earlier it can't pull more than 10 amps as it just plugs into the wall, and also as said a kicker relay would be no trouble either. The one I have out in the storage unit is a 100 cup one (so close to 6 gals) and I only...

    Idea, has anyone here done this

    Ok....I know I can't be the 1st to have this idea I have an old banquet coffee maker ( the big a$$ perk one) What's stopping me from cleaning the living crap out of it, hooking up a SCT100, setting my temp waking up to my strike water being ready to fly? Seems like way to simple of an...

    Frigidaire mini-fridge lighting removal help

    If you already found the thermostat open/close why not just run THAT to the temp controller relay? Main reason that most just cut power to the fridge is to simplify the install. That ship has sailed in this case :)
