    District of Columbia Greenlee Punches

    Looking to sell my Greenlee hole punches used to make a Kal-clone style electric brewery. Only used them for the build, they're in great shape. They go for around $200 (with shipping) on Amazon together. Asking $160 (I'll ship) or $150 if you can pick up. To be clear, they are the sizes...

    Heady Topper- Can you clone it?

    I have brewed the NB kit. I did add an ounce or two of hops to the recipe to make it more like page one, but with the amount of. Hops in this recipe I don't think it probably made much of a difference. One mistake I did make though. I usually don't brew from kits, so when I pick up my bag of...

    Fermentation Chamber Build #5,000!

    Dude, I am SO not that handy. You can do this with a drill and a hand saw I think. Can't really remember as it was a couple of years ago. I do have new advice though - there is absolutely no point in making it this big unless you want to have multiple temp controllers. My idea would be to have...

    Heady Topper- Can you clone it?

    I would say just make exactly the recipe and then adjust it as you want the second time, but I just tapped mine tonight and I'm going to change a couple things next time. I've made beers with less hop mass and more aroma - but none with more hop flavor. I think one key thing to change with this...

    Heady Topper- Can you clone it?

    Just kegged my heady clone, and used exactly the recipe on page 1. 1.076-1.014, 8.2%. The only difference besides the starting gravity is tHat I did two sets of 3-day dry hops rather than 7 days. Smells great, more tropical-fruity than I expected (lots of mango and apricot as well) and it'll...

    Upgrade help

    So my main question is, how difficult is very difficult for the 220? Sent from my iPad using Home Brew

    1) no. This would take a long time (really I'm pretty sure it would not work at all. - you're basically talking about using a 1500w element to heat both the remaining liquor in the HLT and the entire mash, which for a 10g batch could be 20 gallons of liquid for a big beer. You'd never get there...

    Brewed my first all-grain last week! I have a couple questions....

    1) grain will absorb about one pint per pound of grain - so if you use 12lbs of grain, the grain will absorb 6 quarts. Also subtract the amount of water left after you drain your mash tun (probably 2 quarts. Measure this by filling with water and draining without tipping - then measure what's...

    Heady Topper- Can you clone it?

    Brewing the current clone recipe on page 1 today. Planning on 7 gallons at flame out so that I get at least 5 in the fermentor. Yeast bay yeast came all the way to the east coast 3 days after I ordered, which is great!

    Ripple or Straight - Help!

    Just make sure if you go the ripple route, make the hole for the element high enough so that you can twist the ripple element and still have clearance with the bottom of the kettle. Or have a way to mount the element through your hole without spinning the element.

    Wacky Amp meter

    Wacky Amp meter

    This panel is a "kal-clone," and I did not have anything running while the amp meter shows random numbers. Although when I do run elements/pumps with the amp meter wired in, it still flashes the same way. here is a pic of the back of the amp meter. Definitely ac. Guess I'll be ordering another...

    Wacky Amp meter

    Hey guys. I've finished my Kal Clone (THANKS, KAL!!!), and it's working great... except for the amp meter. It is absolutely 100% wired correctly (it's not complicated), so i think it's a problem with the meter. I've rewired it several times, and have gotten the same result. The meter flashes...

    5500W element overkill for a 10g kettle?

    I'm using 5500w camco ripple elements in my 10G build. They do fit (with little room to spare) in the blichmann 10g kettles. Haven't fired then up yet but I'm expecting heating times to be insanely fast.
