    Got a RIMS Rocket....now I need help!

    Mine is wired similar to diag 7.1 http://auberins.com/images/Manual/SYL-2352P%20Manual.pdf Keep in mind that US 120VAC is same as ours with a live/neutral ( not their 240V). I have a fuse as per this diagram

    Got a RIMS Rocket....now I need help!

    HS25ET is the model. Just means the cooling fins are on the outside of your box, and they passively cool. With the internal ones you often(not always) have to mount a cooling fan inside the box. The HLT one won't get too hot but the RIMS one warms up. I put mine on the outside because I'm...

    Got a RIMS Rocket....now I need help!

    On my first rig I had the temp probes with permanent wire, on my 3V I changed to their detachable cables, so have a socket in control box and a socket on the probe and connect the 2 with their cable, a much better set up imho, although I had to resolder the plugs as they damage easily with rough...

    Got a RIMS Rocket....now I need help!

    I run a 3500W RIMS, and use the auber ramp/soak PID. This one http://auberins.com/images/Manual/SYL-2352P%20Manual.pdf At the back of the manual are some wiring diagrams for various setups. I wired up my own, not much difference to doing a stc, if unsure you could wire up yourself and then get...

    Domestic Violence

    I've got 2 ex-mates who wouldn't change. Neither I'd describe as angry/violent as a primary behaviour, moreso they were both extremely controlling/possesive, and a failure at compliance ( to their wishes ) would set them off. Part of the plan announced in giving victims a mobile phone is fraught...

    Is my kettle too big?

    Excess boiling will coagulate more protein, protein adds to both body and head, therefore it's better to try and keep it @ the 10 % mark

    0 minute hops

    0 minute hops will add bitterness even after the hops are removed ( oils will still isomerize ). I only use 0min when using a hop rocket then straight to a plate chiller. They can add a fair amount of bitterness if it takes a while to get under 80C. Calculating IBU on a homebrew scale is pretty...

    Goodbye Bronwyn

    They didn't read the request for documents because apparently it was in an attachment and no one noticed it.

    Guess the homebrew purchase

    Depends what brand you've bought, the piccy is an Angram. I bought one of their recon units a while back, the staff at Angrams I found to be very helpful.

    Is my kettle too big?

    It's pretty big, depends a bit on diameter. Aim for 10 % evap, you can reduce evap without changing boil intensity too much by making/using an aluminium foil pie dish to float on the surface. edit. you could always do double brews and no chill a cube each batch, using different cube hops ...

    Goodbye Bronwyn

    The poodles book is probably a rarity, I imagine the publishers did an optimistic 100 book print run, I mean, who would buy it ?

    Meet my mate Monty

    With the school holidays on i take my kids ( 7 and 9) on the morning dog walk. We have a 2.5km track @ the sports ground that goes through some open paddocks and rain forest. This morning the kids both stepped on/over a very small brown snake that was sunning itself on the grass without even...

    Goodbye Bronwyn

    Bronny the ***** still in obvious denial that she did anything wrong BRONWYN Bishop turned her back on a lifelong friendship with Tony Abbott and told colleagues she would vote against him in last week’s leadership coup because he had forced her to resign as Speaker. Ms Bishop confided in...

    Goodbye Joe

    Looks like old sloppy is still going to be a leaner on the taxpayer for awhile to come. One of the casualties, Treasurer Joe Hockey, will leave Parliament in the next few weeks, forcing a by-election. Sources have confirmed to The Australian Financial Review that Mr Hockey will soon replace Kim...
