A: Probe seems to be ok - when I power-cycle the STC, and it realizes the set temp is 12.5C it doesn't give power to the freezer B: the STC is telling me it's providing power to the freezer (it can't be always on) C: I have my doubts the yeast has had a chance to do anything other than be an...

So I haven't actually used my STC in a while now - worked fine a couple years ago. But now I want to ferment a lager and it keeps freezing my wort. I've set it at 12.8C, but it'll sit at 7.5C and the cooling is still on. I've powered off and on - which seemingly fixed it, but then the wort is...

I can't seem to find this anywhere - but I'm interested in purchasing just the basin - I've got my old DIY version, and it works - but if I could buy just the basin of the Mark II washer, I'd be all over it. Anybody know of a way to just get this one piece?

Also - how long you left it sitting affects it, too... you'll be starting with a lot less yeast if you cold-crashed and set for 4 weeks before bottling, than if you bottled immediately after primary fermentation completed

^ This. 50% means your calculations are off, or you left a lot of high gravity wort in the bag. I'm no scientist, but I think if your water is good enough to drink, then don't worry about PH unless you're fine-tuning beers. FWIW - I mash 90 minutes, boil 90 minutes, and use...

I've got a small 3.5 cu foot chest freezer for all my fermentation - being able to dial in exact temps for lagers and ales makes a big difference. FWIW - every year, I brew a Maibock, 2-3 weeks later, I brew a Doppelbock and throw it on the Maibock slurry. Yeast starts bubbling with in a few...

So Pete - you were 100% right, it's not closing - it read 240v across; I removed it (which was a HUGE PITA) and after using a 9v - I realized I had polarity reversed from the PID. Holy hell - such a small mistake and when wiring I remember checking a couple times to make sure I did right... I...

Each output of the SSR reads 120v to ground - wouldn't that mean the SSR is doing its job?

But the SSR shows 120v across the switched side

Eac leg reads 120v to ground - but not 240 together

So I'm baffled - going into the contacting element doesn't show 240v like I would expect - the SSR is closed - and I do have 240v on both sides of the main contractor. I need to put a simple drawing together...

Each connector shows 120v which totals 240.... And I did test the ohms - should they be constant or switching on/off?

I've finished my eBIAB, and as far as I can tell, it's working like it's supposed to - I've got Kal-type heating elements installed (Camco 02962/02963 5500W 240V) - I've verified at the element, that I'm getting 120v on each connector (ground in box to each post reads 120v). I've even...

I just use kitchen oil - dip it in every 30 secs or so. Haven't had any problems

This is a double tap, 3-inch diameter model made of durable mirror polished stainless steel. This was part of a kegerator but never put together - the fridge stopped working and now I've got this tower (I've got a keezer with 4-5 taps needed) Features •Made of durable, sanitary...

Don't have any pictures right now (at work) but can provide later to an email address (pm me) if you really want to see them. The pot looks like a standard boilermaker - no dings/dents blemishes (scrubbed the few scorch marks w/ barkeepers friend last week). Looks like the shipping weight is 20...

Thanks for all the replies - took the first local guy so I didn't have to worry about shipping or pictures. Will contact (in order) if it falls through.
