Made this my comeback recipe after a 4 year layoff from brewing. Made a boneheaded mistake of adding the juice straight from the fridge. I think I shocked the yeast, because I didn’t get the vigorous fermentation. I still have airlock activity, so I hope it finishes out. If not, I’ll just brew...

Yessir, the probes are plug-n-play. My CP came with an Auber Instruments brand RTD probe and has worked flawlessly through the dozen or so batches I have done so far. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

I use the EBC-SV, which is the single element version of the EBC-III. Works as advertised and was super easy to setup. I wired mine through a Spa Panel GFCI for added protection (a must IMHO) and was good to go. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

I'm a big fan of recirculating during the mash and while ramping up to a boil. I do a double crush at .039 and get a good crush with minimal flour. I haven't had any issues with scorching. (Knock on wood). As stated in other posts, a clean element is also very important. Sent from my iPhone...

I have the High Gravity system and basically do the same as above. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Thanks BadNews. I thought I might be overthinking this. I never even considered just running the hots through the switch. That makes total sense though. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

I am looking into using this switch as my main power switch. http://www.auberins.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=7_32&products_id=376 Since this is a 3-pole switch, can I simply wire it H-H-N and run my ground to the ground terminal block and will my GFCI still function properly...

Cool! I have the High Gravity with the EBC-SV, 44qt BC and Chugger. I have about 6 batches done on the system so far and love it. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

You can get a pretty serious temperature variation under the basket and the basket will restrict the "rolling" motion of the boil. Take that in combination with running the element wide open and scorching is definitely gonna be an issue. Just out of curiosity. Are you using the High Gravity...

That is an awesome build! I can't wait to see what she looks like all powered up! Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Thanks man! Yeah it is a bit pricey, but I figure it should keep me happy for quite a while. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Yeah, the same seller offers a 50a:5a current transformer that should work for my application. http://bit.ly/1eqgCog Would the best place to install this be where the power cable enters the panel before the main power switch or after the main power switch? Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Anyone using one of these in their control panel? http://bit.ly/1pkrCwk I'm considering upgrading my panel and like the amount of information this meter could provide. Not to mention some serious bling factor :) Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Could you use either of these wiring methods to wire an indicator for use with a SSVR? Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

I'm kinda curious about this myself. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

All my BB are ported with racking arm valve assembly. I've never lost a clip. Maybe I'm just lucky. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Totally agree. Cheers! Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Once again, I would redirect you to my original response to the OP. I personally don't give two squirts if you chose not to buy from AHS. It would be your loss to take this one event and form a negative opinion of them. I've spent close to $4.5k with AHS over the past 5 years and have had...

Thanks KP! I was actually looking at some of Arbor Fabs other brewing products yesterday. I'll shoot him an email and see what we can come up with Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

I found the responses talking about repackaged/bulk packaged yeast informative. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew
