    Slingblade recall.

    Looks like MoreBeer is recalling Slingblade curved elements. Got an email from them a couple of days ago requesting I stop using it immediately due to a recently identified safety issue. They have offered to replace it (No ETA when new ones will be in stock) or refund purchase. AND they are...

    Anyone check starter gravity after completion?

    Just checked my decanted wort from a completed (24 hrs @74F on a stir plate) and refrigerated (24 hr) starter. Gravity was 1.018 - 50% attenuation. Final attenuation (Wyeast 3726 Farmhouse, 74-79%) should have been 1.008-1.009. Anyone know of a way to calculate growth rate based on apparent...

    Thinking of modifying my eHERMS

    I have been using a home-built 3-kettle eHERMS for a few years, and am very happy with it with one exception: Step-up mash temp changes take too long (15 gal HLT, 5.5kW element, 50'x1/2"OD coil).

    Dark Brown WLP500 pack

    Opened 2 packs of WLP500 this morning, with a Best By date of 4/15/20 (mfg date 10/17/19, 86% viability per my calcs), and both liquid packs were med-dark brown. I'm used to seeing a creamy white or off-white slurry, and I'm concerned that the yeast might be dead, or partially dead. Both...

    New curved single blade ULWD elements from BrewBuilt

    Anyone used these yet? Looks like they use the standard 1.5 TC ferrule fitting. Huge benefit - they will not interfere with the trub cone after whirlpool, like the ripple ones do. Slightly lower wattage (4500w) for my 15 gal kettle, but I run my current 5.5K element at 55% during the boil.

    Brewbuilt 10 Gal with 2 welded fittings, incl thermowell/thermometer, 3-piece valve, false bottom with quick-connect dip tube. Has been used in an eHerms system for about 12 batches.
