Hiya folks. I went back in my vault of old recipes to find a good old stout recipe I had made some time ago and I'm wonderin what you guys might suggest for a yeast. My last brew I used a dry yeast for the first time and I was hoping to do that again with this but I don't see anything available...

You know, at the end of my build I was searching for a float mechanism because I had read about the autosparge in the past but had forgotten the details. Thanks for reminding me. I'm sure that would help.

Update 3.5 weeks ago I brewed my first beer on my new electric system. To keep it simple I bought a kit from NB which I don't normally do. I just felt like I wanted to focus on the new process and not the recipe. I picked a neipa clone zombie dust. This beer is a departure from what I normally...

Air hose reel. Run water through it instead. Just use some food grade hose.

Perhaps you could fabricate a temporary frame made out of your favorite material. I like metal but most people feel more comfortable with wood. You could make it span the distance between the floor and ceiling and as wide as you need. If you attach something soft to the top like truck camper...

Thanks.

I plug it into a 30A outlet I have on the wall in the closet in the background. The main breaker panel is directly above that so I don't use a separate disconnect. I just flip the breaker when I want to use it.

I build panels all the time using engineers prints at work, but this was my first panel I designed and built on my own. I have access to used parts and that's what drove my design. Most people don't need a 24V circuit, but because I had contactors I wanted to use to be able to create safer...

After building my own control panel, I have to ask, why all the plugs and recepticles? Seems like everyone loves carving out square holes in their electrical boxes for outlets to plug into. What a PITA. Why not knock out a standard hole and use strain reliefs and just hard wire your cords in the...

Your links don't work. E Herms Brewery Build That's odd. I can get there from the menu on your site, but can't link directly to it using the addy in the addy bar.

My heating element is pulling 20amps. I was under the impression it should be 10? I see where i got confused. 10A fuse for the pump. No fuse for the element.

Having some problems getting my setup to perform. I keep blowing one of the 10A fuses. I've blown two so far and they were on different legs. It seems to happen when the Auber ends the program and suddenly shuts off the heating element. I must be getting some kind of spike in current flow from...

Thank you for talking about this. I'm wrapping up my Electric build and I'm very nervous about my first brew day on it. I've done very little studying on how the 320 works so your explanation helps a lot. I've heard it's not a bad idea to run a program with just water to see how it goes and make...

Sorry I missed where you said that. Thanks for taking time to answer anyway. I guess the symbols are the thing. Every program ends up missing the symbol(s) I'm looking for and then I end up trying to figure out their method for creating them. The only benefit to using SkyCad is being able to...
