    Boil problems

    A 25ft, 14ga extension cord in itself isn't the problem in this use case. If a shorter cord makes a noticeable difference then the 25ft cord is defective and/or something else changed.

    Boil problems

    From what I see the 120V units are 1500W. At 120V that's 12.5A. 12.5A through a 25ft, 14ga cord is only about 1.6V drop Using an extension cord of the described length and gauge in this case isn't inherently the problem.

    Boil problems

    Use of the 25' 14ga cord in itself isn't inherently the problem. Way I read it, it's 2400W heating, at 240V, means about 10A. 10A through a 14ga cord 25ft should be just a bit over 1V drop.

    converting a 110 outlet to 220

    If one is color blind, yeah, might be best just to buy one. Or, perhaps more generically:

    what does the pbw powder taste like?

    I think beers along the lines of Peanut Butter Wheat already exist, but perhaps not generally recognized as "PBW".

    what does the pbw powder taste like?

    I'll have to ask my GF. She poured herself a glass of PBW solution and took a sip of that. Yes, it was marked, but not like huge red letters. Just three simple letters, PBW, in black fine point Sharpie. Plain as the nose on your face, if you're looking for a difference at 3AM in something more...

    bagel hack

    First attempt at homemade. Used brown sugar and honey instead of malt extract as that's what I had here and now. Depending how this goes I may open a pack of DME.

    Looks delish!

    bagel hack

    For brewing I knew it was about 20% less DME by weight due to the water content of LME. I suppose that would roughly hold true here too?

    bagel hack

    Found a bagel recipe that calls for a little sugar or barley malt syrup. Barley malt syrup? Isn't that LME? And, if so, what might be an equivalent amount of DME (because I don't have any LME)?

    Old Fashioned.

    Equipment set up

    Sometimes the rest of the story helps with troubleshooting. Rewired from what to what? Why? Rest of the story?

    Racking to keg from FV?

    I did, FWIW.
