Here's what I'm considering building.

So, I've thought of this same material, but assumed it would melt. No issues?

I have searched but couldn't find anything in the forum for kettle jackets or insulated jackets for kettles. If there are and I missed them, please post a link here or let's start the conversation. Do you have an insulated jacket for your kettle/s? If so I want to see and discuss pros and...

I'm in, but please don't make a big deal of this when I win!

Love the updates Audie. I have a question or 5 about your system. How do you like the tan pumps? Any issue with them? How do you keep them from getting plugged by grain? What do you use as a false bottom in the MT? Thanks

Also consider moisture content. If you wash it let it dry at least 24 hours before using. And if left in bbq it could also be suseptable to cracking from heating quickly if the moisture is high in your area. Mine lives in the oven and never sees a dish cloth. Closest I get is a scraper if it...

I did not know there was a pizza thread here...OMG The more I look around this site the more I love it, and the people posting. Lots of help and as you say, non-condescending, non-smug! Pizza, mmmmmm...I just decided whats for dinner: Home made crust with Grilled chicken and pineapple...

Apparently I don't know my own strength. Just being over cautious, I didn't want it working loose and causing any issue. Learned my lesson there. I have 2 more of these on order, I'm see where I can improve in other areas of homebrewing. Next up I'm making a keg cooler in my cold room...

I'm concerned about the amount of DME you used. That sounds like a lot of SG for a starter. The suggested amount for a starter is 10g DME per 100ml. So for a 1 Litre starter you need 100g. This gives you about 1.040. Another tip I recently learned was using half that to create a mini starter...

I have to say, learning new skills and gaining knowledge in this hobby makes me proud sometimes. Here's one of those moments. Cheers

I seem to have been successful with this by simply adding a touch of yeast nutrient and some sterilized water and DME. To grow I added a stir bar and placed on the stir plate for 24 hours then pitched into a 1 litre starter. Albiet the final results aren't in yet, I haven't brewed a batch with...

You should be able to find this at your lhbs. I've only ever got it there. Ask someone who works there if you still can't find it. Furthermore, I found this thread on HBT... https://www.homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?t=234880

Thanks for the nutrient & re-start tip! I've had starters that wouldn't take off and added the nutrient at that point, kind of late though IMO. Your tip makes sense to keep it active and fed even though it's not being used.

Thanks so much cannman. So I realized how silly I had been. My electrical class popped into my head and I saw my old teacher explaining the neutral and hot wire. So I also ended up twisting the connector off the circuit board and had to repair it. All is well and working perfectly...

Thanks, I'll give it a shot tonight.

Perhaps some of you using this model of control have some insight for me. I am building a fermentation chamber and using the an STC-1000 controller and was able to test it last night and ran into this issue. I can hear the relay click on after the compressor delay, but no power goes to the fan...

...and 2 more years later, how's it working? I think this silver solder is the way to go. Thank you to everyone for the helpful ideas here.

I'm curious how the MyPins work for the BK? Can you put them in manual mode and adjust the power level? PS very nice build. I'm looking forward to a setup like this myself as soon I have all the info I neEd. Cheers
