Equipment and Software / converted keggle voltage question
« on: May 04, 2015, 03:01:28 PM »
i have a converted keggle that i have been using a propane burner on, but due to new equipment and a new brewing garage with size limitations, i want to convert my HLT to electric. i found a few conversion kits online to do just that, but i was wondering if i can use 120 volts or do i need 240 instead for brewing 10 gallon batches?

that is correct, thank you.

sorry i forgot to mention that i'm not pulling directly from the tap... i know better than that, i just bought an RO system with a UV light attachment and that is where my original question comes into play. is an RO system with an attached UV light sanitary enough for racking and/or bottling?
i didn't consider oxogen in the water though...

As far as the water, back when I made extract beer, I learned to boil the top-up water the night before and allow it to cool on the stove overnight, so I didn't have to wait for it after brewing. You can even transfer it to the fridge, before you go to bed, using it to help cool the wort the next day.
dont need to sanitize anything if it is coming straight from the tap.
i live in small quarters and having a few gallons in the fridge over night won't work so well, it seems a lot easier to just top off from the tap

thanks for the replies. i usually lose a little water when i rack to the secondary or go to bottle, not much and perhaps i'm being too anal about it. i use distilled water, but i've been saving up for an RO system and i'm considering a UV filter attachment too. it's just a pain in the rear to boil a gallon, wait for it to cool, sanitize a funnel and a carboy and then transfer.

sorry if this has been brought up, but i couldn't find anything in the search, but when i go to top up my fermenter or whatever i usually top up with pre boiled water which is time consuming and can be somewhat cumbersome when transferring water from the boil kettle to the carboy and takes a lot more water to sanitize all equipment used. anyways my question is would it be more practical to use a uv filter light to sanitize/sterilize the water? it's way faster and easier and just makes more sense from my perspective unless i'm missing something. any opinions other than cost?

i don't mean to hijack, but i wouldn't know how to word the question in the search or in which part of the forum to look. anyways i don't understand the foil, this is the second time i've seen this and i'm curious as to why an airlock isn't being used.

i just made the colonial strong ale from the zymurgy magazine, although i won't be doing any of that "flip" business. i just wanted a strong ale to get me through the cold California winters

first pale ale i made, i went to siphon into the secondary via my mouth and a hose, once i got beer running through the hose i ended up sucking in too much and got some in my mouth. well im not one to waste and decided that spitting it back in the secondary seemed like a pretty good idea, well it turned out to be the best pale i've ever made
