I have a feeling the mash has played a big part here. Gravity still reading af 1.022. Dry hopping now and will look to bottle next weekend.

Thanks! I mashed it for 60 mins though I understand the first 20 are most crucial. My garage was freezing that day and the grain would have been close to 6C so my strike water was around 80c, I also think the mash was a little on the thin side as I maybe overshot to around 18L (not including deadspa...

Hi, Having being new to AG and on my 3rd brew I recently brewed up an APA where the grain bill was made up of 85% an 15% Crystal (7.5% Carared & 7.5% Caramber). I done a single infusion mash in an Igloo cooler slightly higher than planned at around 68/69C which more or less held for at least 30 mins...

I had a feeling that something didnt add up. Suppose the question is, assuming I sort out my problem with the element power (18 amps) going to the thermostatic controller which is 30A rated. Will the controller de-energise the connection to the wall socket to be within the 13A requirement? Aplogies ...

Whilst I don't expect anyone to definitively say this set up is 100% I just want to run past what I plan to do? 4500W element (18.75 amps) connected to switch on box (13A). Switch connected 60A connectors with 2.5mm heatproo...

Thanks guys, been most helpful

Thanks Fil. If I were to go down just the heating controller route what else would I need? Apologies for the simple questions but just want to be sure?

Thanks for the all the responses. I think I might take this on and have a go at wiring. Next bit of help is to point me in the direction of a tried and tested controller in the form of a link? Also is there a decent guide or does anyone have the components needed to wire and box the controller up? A...

Hi, I have recently just joined the forum and was hoping someone could assist me locate a pre-wired PID controller? I am having no such luck on eBay as yet. I understand alot of people wire these themselves however I am the first to admit this is not a strong point of mine and if I can I would prefe...
