Nice, just started looking for a new temp controller.

Yes please

I use two of those elements, I previously just plugged them both in and away I went, worked fine drawing 18 amps, then my wife switches the kettle on. I am in a rental too but I still put a 15amp double gpo in the garage, just takes away any worries and I am sure the owners don't mind.

Would love the ibt-4xc

Count me in please

If I were to set up a fresh kit it would definitely be glass bottles with caps (too many flat pet bottles when I started), no tap fermenter, bench capper, racking cane with hose & bottling wand, sodium per carbonate and starsan, and an option to add bottle rinser and draining tree, maybe even a...

I have a 88 litre pot and I always boil 65l down to 58l for 50l into cubes. I use 2 X 2200 watt elements and have no issue with a good boil, much more power will cause the boil to splash like in my 54 l pot were I have to turn 1 element off for the boil. More power would be great to get up to...

Would love some new gadgets for the brewery

Good soak in sodium percarbonate, at least a day and they fall off with nothing more than a wipe with your hands.

If you can swap out known good parts, ie psu, you can troubleshoot, if you don't have access its going to the shop. One thing you can try at home is unplug things one at a time, try fans, ram, graphics card etc. A good shop should diagnose fairly quickly and not charge too much

Maybe take the case sides off and see if it needs a good blow out, it needs good airflow to keep parts cool. Just that tiny bit of extra demand can cause a thermal shut down.
