    Brewie

    I have only brewed one Brewie Pad, the Rusty Rex, and I ended up with a slightly higher final gravity than the sheet said. I don't remember exactly what it was as that was months ago and I didn't put the recipe in BeerSmith.

    Brewie

    I didn't calculate it myself I just took what BeerSmith calculated. For my last three brews I had one that was 62.6%, one that was 79.0% and one that was 82.8%. I do stir during mashing and I think that is what makes the difference.

    Brewie

    My Brewie has had issues on old firmware versions with reaching a good boil but it has produced great beer. I typically get around 72% efficiency which is close to what I get on my biab system. I am a member of the Brewie owner's group on facebook and I have seen no mention of deleted post...

    Brewie+ vs Picobrew Z

    I have had my B20 since July of last year and it has worked fine. I never used it after a new firmware was released without giving some time for feedback on the FB group as it seemed the vast majority of issues were due to a couple versions of the firmware. My only gripe is the recipe editor...

    Brewie

    I've had mine for several months now and it works great. I did have some issues with pre-1.7 firmware but they all seem to be fixed now. One big thing I learned was just don't touch the machine when you don't need to as that seems to screw up the weight measurement system during water...

    Brewie

    I have had mine for about a month and it does work well. I did have an issue once where it did not add the sparge water to the tank but started heating anyway. I stopped it and restarted and it was fine. Most problems seem to come from touching the machine when calibrating or add water when...

    Today's email basically says that everyone that will receive a unit between now and February 2 have been notified. So that means if you, like me, have not been notified than don't expect it any time before that. It doesn't actually say when.

    Anyone received a shipping notice/tracking number yet? Today is the day they said shipping will start.

    Sure would be nice if they get here before Christmas!

    I thought most kitchen circuits were actually 20A anyway?

    Brewie

    The only questions Brewie seems to answer are general questions about the machine but most people here want real answers as to when will will see our machines show up. Brewie, quit placating us and give real answers as to when you will deliver our machines!

    Got another one today claiming great, good and not so good news. Basically delayed more. I'm trying to stay positive...

    Single vessel 120v build

    You can also use a box like this one: http://www.auberins.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=34&products_id=369 The whole box is a heatsink.

    Learning/building ebiab setup

    The Ranco will work but a 1500w element will pull 12-13 amps and the 2000w element will pull 16-18 amps so you can't use the 2000w unit. With the 1500w element it will take a long time to get ~8 gal to temp for mash and boil. It would help to insulate your pot. It's all about how much time...

    Learning/building ebiab setup

    I personally would not use the ranco controller. Even at 1500w you are too close to the limits of the contacts but that's just me. I would go the route of getting the Auber boil controller and an ssr. I'm ordering one right now to try out as I think it is very well customized to what we need...

    Learning/building ebiab setup

    Looks like the ranco is fine. Here is the pre-built system that I would buy if I hadn't already built my own. http://www.cobrewingsystems.com/collections/frontpage/products/nano-brewer-home-electric-brew-system

    Learning/building ebiab setup

    Your right, I was looking at the NC contact rating. The difference is quite surprising though as most form c relays have the same rating on both sides of the contact. Maybe they use two separate form a relays that are different.

    Learning/building ebiab setup

    I would just go with a 2000w element like this one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0006JLVBW/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20 Don't use the ranco controller though, its not rated for more than 6 amps. That's even if you use the 1500w element. You could add another relay that could handle the load but...

    Up to 50% for Inkbird Android wifi temperature controller

    No just the two you got. I was not aware there was a cooking sensor.

    Up to 50% for Inkbird Android wifi temperature controller

    I received mine today also, in a beat up outer box too, but all was fine with the actual product box. In the product box below the unit is a smaller box and that had the temperature probe in it. You might want to check to be sure.
