Re: Multi-use SSR controller?
I use my triac temperature controllers for temperature control of fermentation cabinet and for use in my boiler for sous vide cooking - :oops: Love that!

Re: Multi-use SSR controller?
I have also used them for hatching eggs - hens, ducks, geese, quail - but beware if you're going to do this humidity control is needed as well. And I have 40 tobacco plants ready to plant out in the next few days - Drying and curing will be a problem since our autumns tend to be cold and wet - so I'...

Re: Single malt whiskey using LME
Hi Shady, just browsing when I came across your thread here 8) I see people are still looking at the Malt extract solution and at the risk of upsetting all again I'd draw your attention to what Saltbush said here Nothing other than Ive used it as an additive in a bastardized version of UJSSM ...... ...
Re: Yield
Just because you have a thumper doesn't mean you have to use it. All of my UJSSM has been stripped and spirit run without using a thumper and I only ever had to dilute with water when I was a newbie at making it and was stopping the stripping runs far too early. You're a patient man @Chris 8) - (Go...
Re: Yield
. I'm guessing a 20 gallon? Well, if a fellow engineer put their math out for review, what else can I do but review it? Sure, I'll venture a guess. The engineer in me won't allow me to guess. I take the facts I have, and the experiences I've lived, to build an analysis. I do love dogma ! :lol:

Re: Wife is finely retiring
Glad you guys were able to find a significant other in life. Perhaps one of my character flaws is that I'm not as sentimental as I could be. I was only married for four years. But I don't claim to be normal. I've known maybe a dozen guys that have been married 3 times or more. If you'd walked aroun...
