Have a whirlpool sidexside, controlled with STC1000. It has run fine for 2 years. I'm guessing my compressor has locked up, the fan will start and compressor relay will click on but the compressor will not start, then the relay will click off after a minute or so. I've beat on the compressor...

Once you have jarred your washed yeast, is there any reason you can't add DME and ferment out to increase the yeast count before you put them to sleep?

I cannot control power to element. Thought SSR was bad, replaced with new SSR. PID is cycling SSR, but it is not cycling element. Full power to element all the time. When I power off PID, I still have 120V coming out of SSR to element. I have checked my wiring til I'm blue in the face...

Been running my temp control using PJ diagram. I want to be able to run my element at 1/2 power, so I put a switch to the other line thinking I could turn off switch 2 and have the PID run the element on 120V. (2nd pic) Apparently it doesn't work that way, why not ? Is there simple way to wire...

First I would like to thank Mr. Darkwoods for the inspiration to build this and to the others who posted here who helped me understand how to wire it without burning my (brew house) workshop down. The Queen, er my Wife loves it, that's sayin' something. Thank you guys. This is a Whirlpool...

If you want to add a pressure gauge to your propane tank , check your local Wally World, they have their summer stuff on sale . I got a gauge for under $7.00. Might find it at some of the other big boxes as well.

Has anybody tried something like this for a wort chiller? It's 14 inches long, not sure of diameter, guessing 1 1/4 in. Outlets are 3/8 & 5/8

Has anybody tried this with cider? https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f163/yeast-immobilization-magic-beans-fermentation-404698/ Ordered a kit from amazon, be in Wed. Looks like fun. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B008657GS0/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20

Just put this together. Everything works fine for a couple of minutes, then trips breaker. I'm using a 2000 watt Wadlow heat stick and when I turn it on, it heats up very hot and then trips breaker. Running 50 amp gfci circuit. Any ideas why this is happening? Also what is the best way to...

I was wondering if anybody has fermented cider in a corny with a pressure relief valve still on it. I use ez caps to make sparkling cider in 2 liter bottles and love the natural carbonation, would like to try a larger batch (4 gals) . Will a corny work?

Bought this project box from radio shack. It has a plastic and an aluminum lid. I have an ext. mount heatsink. Can I mount it directly to the alum. lid or do I need a cutout? If so, can I use the plastic lid? Thanks

I put an ad on craiglist looking for brewing stuff. I had a man call me , the only call I got, asked me what I was lookin for I told him brew pots, carboys anything, he said he had a brew pot , I asked him what size it was and he told me 125 gal. Wow, that was a little bigger than I was lookin...

Hello, very new to brewing, I've done an extract and a partial extract. I now see how important temp control is. Really want to get into full grain brewing. I've seen some talk about heat sticks and kinda like the idea. I like to build my own stuff, but some things you don't monkey with and...

Built a stir plate from a foldable laptop fan from Big Lots this afternoon. Got all excited over it and was ready to try it, but I had no stir stick. My LHBS is 40 miles away, I sure as hell wasn't going to ride that far for a $4.00 stir stick and not being one to wait, I went on the forum...
