I expect to receive an under-powered (1kw) but useful and simple (just has a 120v AC outlet on it) PID. Could I use this tube, and by adding a 240v 1500w heating element (say this: http://bostonheatingsupply.com/SP10869FH.aspx), plug it into the 120v AC outlet on the PID, and get a setup that's...

PM sent.

Can't make it any easier. I'm in (with crossed fingers - these are some great prizes!).

The brewery owns the pub in this case.

Howtobrew.com should get you there.

I accidentally put 8 oz of the chocolate malt in the bag and it got mixed in at the lhbs. It is now crushed with the rest of the grains. Anyone think that's going to kill the recipe, or is it worth going forward with it? I did put in 8lbs of the maris otter since I've been getting...

I have read here that in new york, at least, the deposit is in fact a purchase. Search for posts by airborneguy. He's an nyc cop iirc, and he bothered doing some research on the matter.

You should look into replacing the lid so you have a gas relief with a spring-loaded relief valve. In the long run the static relief valve isn't going to help you much. E.g. Results for *Parts:Keg Parts. It may be worth complaining to whoever you bought it from that it's a PITA to have to...

I need the keg cleaner brush attachment for my cornys because I bought a carboy cleaner and cut the wings down to size already. Yes, it makes sense to me.

They are probably still tweaking the recipe. However you are lucky you got cans with the dry hop aroma. It seems that a lot of distributors didn't keep the cans in good cool conditions during the summer based on my and a friend's observations earlier this year.

Same here. The 70 qt extreme loses very little in an hour.

I have googled various recipes in the past. I suggest a recipe that includes lemon and orange for a rich flavor.

Can you +1 a place where it can be ordered online for cheap?

They also have "secondary fermenting" ball lock kegs for about $30 (about $40 shipped for me). I've ordered 4 after a phone call where it was established that the difference was that the lid by default doesn't have the pressure relief valve installed for "fermenting" but that an extra lid with...

http://www.kegglebrewing.com/Two-Re-conditioned-5-Gallon-Ball-Lock-Keg_p_53.html I believe that the shipping is reasonable, bringing the corny to around $50. If you bought the 4-pack, you'd get better shipping rates, and a base price of $37.50/keg. There's also this...
