I've been brewing on an electric brew kettle for about 18 months now. No issues what so ever. I wanted to clean it today w/an oxyclean soak at 170 F. Heated like normal. When my PID read 166 the temp reading dropped in an instant to 135 on my PID. I grabbed my thermometer and it read 166. I...

Hoping someone here can help me out a bit so I don't make the same error again. I bought a Sierra Madre kit from Northern Brewer for a 5 gal batch. Brewed as per directions. Mash was 153, not 152 as called for (but it's close enough for me) I am learning a relatively new electric brew kettle so...

I recently completed my electric build based off of the instructions here http://www.instructables.com/id/Electric-brewing-system/ I used an Auber 2352 for my PID and their liquid tight RTD PT100 PT100-L100NPT 4 inch temp probe to be used through a bargainfittings.com weldless thermometer sight...

However, when funds permit I want to build something more substantial although I'm not sure yet as to inside electric or outside gas style. In the mean time, I was looking...

I currently heat mash and sparge water on my stove, mash in a cooler and boil in a keggle over a propane burner. After much thought, I would like to get started with an electric system. Unfortunately, the cost of putting a full system together right now is not feasible. My question is this. Is...

I am planning on doing this kit in the near future. This will be my first attempt with coffee. The instructions call for the coffee addition (4 oz for a 5 gallon batch) at flameout and then steep for 20 minutes before cooling. I've read a lot about coffee addition that says this can lead to...

I'm relatively newer to brewing. I've used pellet hops the 2-3 times I've dry hopped so far. I know they absord liquid which will decrease final volume, but I wasn't able to find a number (either by searching here or the internet in general) that says how much liquid 1 oz of hops will absorb. If...
