Well it’s a lemon shandy so I’ll let y’all k ow in about 4 weeks. OG was 1.050 so we shall see how those yeast munch.

I did shake the crap out of it one in the fermenter To oxygenate it and when I transferred it from the boil kettle to the fermenters I did a slow high transfer. I only added the acid blend to bring down the ph to around 5.6. I have pretty hard tap water like 8+. the damage is done so to...

I only want to use it as a way to get rid of Chloramines. I added a tablespoon of it and citric acid and added it to 14 gallons of water and ended up with 12ish in my fermenter.

So with this would I follow the to kill wild yeast or to sanitize?

Okay thanks so in beginners words. It may make it taste different than intended and the boil will neutralize any yeast killing potential by the time it makes it to the fermenter.

So I have read some, probably not all, threads on PM/campden tabs being used to rid tap water of Chloramines. My question is if you add too much does the excess get boiled off or will there be residual yeast killing compounds still in the wort after the boil that would not allow fermentation...

Appreciate everyone’s input. She’s not the prettiest but not bad for my first one. Next time I’ll get a little bit bigger of a box. Tomorrow I’ll be adding the V/A meter so it should fill that blank nicely.

So essentially I can just order the DVA-120 and tap onto both 120 lines for the voltage part and then put the ring around one of the 120 lines for The amperage reading with my existing setup

Test

So all wired up and appears to be working. Just got my keg back from having the washer welded on and I screwed in the element wired it up and turned it on to do a quick tear. It Heated up very quickly. Now this was a test so I didn’t fill it with water and after about 30sec of it being on the...

All right the old school small glass tube style it is.

for the 1amp fuses. Will auto blade style fuses work or should I be using a different style?

Well I guess it will have to wait u till tomorrow. I ordered a gfi breaker but what arrived today does not have the pigtail on it and now where to attach my own. Grrr amazon.

Quick question. When installing the 240v 30a GFI breaker into my box. Does the white pigtail from the breaker go to the neutral bar or ground bar?

Im looking for a simple PID wiring diagram. I recently just installed a 240v 30a GFI breaker and ran a 4 prong (dryer) outlet into my garage (red,black,white,ground). Im going to run one 5500w heating element. I used 10/3 for my wiring. I was hoping someone could link me to or submit a...
