This is all great stuff! Anyone else have any feedback?

Hey Fellow Homebrewers! So I am a fairly well versed biologist and homebrewer and in my area I get a lot of questions from people regarding the details and science behind the brewing process. I really enjoy talking about it and have been toying with the idea of starting an advanced home...

Thanks bud!

Alright, so I examine the hole and smacking it was a no-go. it was about the size of a pinhead so it was too big to flatten out. However, I got the flux friday and did a reflow of the braze today and it worked flawlessly. didn't even need any extra brazing wire, it just smoothed right out.

Not yet. I actually got the stuff to do the thing and the eBay company accidentally didn't send me the flux...

So I was having trouble getting my stuff to boil fast enough here in the cold of canada, so I bought this: http://propanegear.com/mr-heater-all-purpose-propane-torch-kit500-000-btu-hr/ I then bought a brass 1/4"NPT 90degree elbow and 3" pipe nipple so I could turn the head of it sideways, I...

I have a little jewellers oxy/mapp torch for this. I'll source the flux.

What kind of paste flux you figure?

Hey all, So I'm looking for opinions here. I have tri-clamp fittings that I have attached to my kettles using silver brazing rod (56% silver), and one of the seams has a pin hole in it that has started to leak. I assume this is because it was filled with flux and the first heating run caused...

Here is the setup after the initial tests... I'm sure it will change as I go, but this is the start...

You 100% can do what you said, and it would be the easiest option... In my case I had two issues that made it impossible to change the breaker 1) I wasn't allowed to change the panel. I rent from a friend that gives me pretty free range but some things are a no go. And 2) the 30amp gfci...

I also understand what you are saying now and realize it's totally different...

Here's pics if the setup. I bought the L14-30 a while ago and was waiting on it forever. Which is why I did the plug in the outlet box first, I wanted to use the system. When the plug and connector came I switched it on my panel and my controller...

I tested the system using water today and I maintained a pretty good flow through the system with it so I am so far impressed... We will see how it goes when I do an actual batch of beer on Monday.

I actually ordered one of the L14-30R connectors, I have it on the system now... works like a charm.

Alt - The outside measurements of the side are 8" x 2.25" on the sides and 5" x 2.25" on the top and bottom. because of the way the breaker is setup, you can't put a plug in the top. As you will see in the pictures that the ground bar and neurtal bars are in the center of each side, making it...

There's not a whole lot of room to put a receptacle there. But you might be able to do one out the side. I will send measurements when I dig the box out of my brew storage. I chose 4 wire because I am eventually moving to a larger panel that will use 4 wire, but currently my controller is only 3...

Hey All, Been doing some theorycrafting... Thought I would pose the question here. People are starting to get into the idea of using plastic containers as boil kettles, but has anyone considered using a cooler as a boil kettle? I can think of a few reasons both for and against, but I am...

Alright, so I asked bunch of questions and got no answers on the forums, so I started digging into it on my own and have figured out what is needed to make a portable GFCI for an electric brewery, and a basic understanding of how a GFCI breaker works within an electric brewery. I have decided...

I'm not sure. I'll let you know when I do a test run. I haven't had a chance to try it out.
