    3500w element question

    Hi All, I just got a 15A outlet installed in my garage with some recent renovations so am now looking to upgrade from the 10A element in my 40L Birko urn to a 15A element. I am using a control system similar to The Electric Brewery and it is rated to 30A so 15A will be no problem. I...

    Control Panel Wiring Diagram

    Hi All, I've been researching / planning a control box build after being inspired by "The Electric Brewery" but with a few changes for a 2 vessel HERMS system. The plan is to have 2 vessels (BK/HLT and MT) with elements in just the BK and heat being exchanged via a CFC. I plan to use 1 EZBoil...

    Upgrade to 2V system - pseudo brutus

    Hi AHBers, I am considering upgrading my system and would appreciate some input on my ideas. I am currently running a Birko BIAB setup with recirculation and temperature adjustment (including step mashing) via a Keg King Controller (thermowell into birko). I have been enjoying this setup...

    'reverse' filtration with carbonation corny lid

    Hi AHB, Just had an idea occur to me this morning and thought I would pick your collective brain about it. Could a carbonation lid double as a filtration device? For those not familiar a carbonation lid is a corny keg lid with an additional gas in port in the top, connected to a 0.5 micron...

    Pellicle Question

    Hi AHBers, So, I attempted my first Brett beer recently - made a Berliner Weisse in early November and now, 3 months later I am keen to give it a try. Before carbonating / tasting it I thought I would have a quick look at it and was surprised to see that it still had a Pellicle on top. I have...

    Drilling through fermentation fridge

    Hi All, I recently purchased a factory second fermentation fridge, the Westinghouse WRM1300WC (from appliancesonline.com.au only $295 :D) which seems to be very popular on this site for a compact single fermentation chamber and should comfortably sit on top of my current kegerator. I am...

    Forced Carbonation

    Hi guys, I have been using a keg-in-fridge setup for just over a year now. I initially used the "ross method" but found it a little clumsy and almost always ended up with over/under carbonated beer. I then decided to pick a pressure and let the beer slowly come up to that pressure - I seem to...

    Counter Pressure Bottle Filler

    Hi guys, I've been contemplating buying a system to allow me to bottle my kegged beer for some time now and have recently been looking into the Counter Pressure Bottle Filler (from now on CPBF) vs Blichmann Beer Gun (BBG) debate. Managed to borrow a BBG recently and was quite disappointed - the...
