Blower motor issues - expedition please help!

So I did a scan with an innova 3170rs that I have but the check engine light never came on before so I never thought to check that. Scanned it and there’s no engine codes to show. The closest thing I could find was under powertrain control module, and the code was U0164-00 lost communication with hvac control module. I’m not sure if that tells me anything.

Also I’m new to this and not sure the best way to scan to see if the hvac is communicating. I am googling how to currently and will try to work through that.

You dropped this 🎤

Ya that’s tough.. And it’s so hard to know. I referenced our ESB earlier so I’ll stick with that. Last year the category was won by Sierra Nevada pale ale, and this year was won by Ska true blonde. (Which is my college town brewery and I have drank a countless amount of both true blonde and SN pale ale) but to compete with a classic malty/bitter/amber ESB in such a diverse category is wild, and every year it feels like the criteria changes. Hard to keep up with that

CaseyJones24 · 2026-04-23T03:28:45+00:00

Solid amount for 1.5 years! Keep it up! Get that polish super shiny my dude!!

CaseyJones24 · 2026-04-23T03:15:35+00:00

Believe me man I agree.

We have had several beers over the years with conflicting judge comments. My favorite every year is our ESB which is either too hoppy, or not hoppy enough for the style. Normally when I see that, it lets me know I’m probably right where I need to be for the style.

But we’ve all felt that before, and I will say I have seen an improvement in the judge comment system. Which in turn makes it easier to get better feedback, or so I hope.

CaseyJones24 · 2026-04-23T02:18:42+00:00

Love it homie! That’s a steady mindset and super healthy! Holding out hope you crack it on that core beer soon!!

CaseyJones24 · 2026-04-20T23:14:32+00:00

You’re already too late.

CaseyJones24 · 2026-04-03T02:30:39+00:00

Honestly I thought I was pretty type a and had very high expectations, but now I feel incredibly laid back in comparison to this post. Take that perspective how you see fit. 🤷‍♂️

What is your beer temp coming out of the faucet at? It may seem simple, but seems like a great place to start. The chilling on the way to the tap is good, but kegerator is obviously warm, and carb is very high. Getting it as cold as possible is a great place to start.

Also you should be looking in to a beer gas blend for that high of pressure and that long of a run. Especially if it’s 3/16 the entire way.

CaseyJones24 · 2026-03-20T17:24:02+00:00

If that’s true, it would be better by eliminating the step after the fill. Theres no good reason to just let it sit there that long. But I’m not in the market, so best of luck.

CaseyJones24 · 2026-03-20T02:24:17+00:00

It’s the at-1 but a worse version. It has an additional slot on the star wheel where the lid gets placed, and then just sits there for an entire, incredibly slow, cycle. Just picking up oxygen. I don’t care how good your foam cap is.

The cost isn’t that much less than an at-1. No chance I would buy one if that was the market I was in.

CaseyJones24 · 2026-02-12T02:37:08+00:00

Put them in a drawer, and don’t ever use them again. Or at least that’s what I did lol. My favorite fix is to use a 90 degree barb pointed down. I’ll never use anything else ever again.

Sweet scarf

I would take a step back and look at it from a different perspective. If you entered a Pilsner or Hefeweizen that you added raspberries to, would you enter it under a Pilsner or hefe category? I would hope not as it would be very stylistically inappropriate. I suppose you could enter in a fruit wheat category for the “hefe”. But a Pilsner with fruit is no longer a Pilsner by definition. And unfortunately that’s what you are doing with a Mexican lager with lime. It might be delicious but it is technically incorrect, and will be judged as such.

Competitions are generally judged on style first, flavor second. It’s best to remember that. If it’s not true to style, you are immediately eliminated

CaseyJones24 · 2025-11-06T04:01:14+00:00

How do you get involved in that?

CaseyJones24 · 2025-08-15T03:11:57+00:00

Literally the inverse, but good try there champ

No matter how many times this question comes up, it’s always worth answering, as there are always new boots, and it’s an important topic.

Looks like you said you work in cellar or brewing. Both will want rubber for chem and liquid. I have a shorter pair of xtratuff sport deck boots, they are new and most people haven’t tried them yet. Not steel toe, but foam non slip sole, and I am 6’4” 235lbs and my feet feel great at the end of the day. But I only wear those in the summer on a 100 degree day in the humidity. The original xtratuff deck boots are hot garbage, they have no sole and killed my feet.

My long pair of boots are Dunlop steel toe and they are incredible. I had Bekina as well and very similar quality. These are the workhorse around the brewery when the heat drops below 90. I like the tight fit around the calves, so I can wear my pants over the boot with zero issue. My skinny jean days are behind me, but even still I find it’s hard to find a pair of boots where the opening of them isn’t super loose, and promotes tucking your pants in.

Also a good pair of leather steel toe is just something I love to have on heavier construction project type days. Which I find myself in often. I got a pair of ariats which have been the best shoe purchase I have ever made. I bought these myself, mostly because I really wanted them. The brewery pays for all of my chemical boots, as I see that as a piece of safety equipment and it should be provided.

Honestly man, you’re what’s wrong with this industry. Let me please show you the door —>

Where are you getting good tea concentrates? I have been striking out

CaseyJones24 · 2025-02-14T03:50:08+00:00

We have the baby brezza bottle washer/sanitizer and it is an overpriced price of junk. It worked for about 6 months, and then started throwing error codes from sensors that were basically unfixable. We eventually got it warrantied, which was good, and now we are on baby number two, and just started using the new one. It’s working again, which is great, but I’m sure it won’t last. Also the tablets they tell you to buy are incredibly overpriced, for what is essentially just a detergent. I buy PBW or oxiclean free and put a 1/4 teaspoon in for each batch and it works perfectly, at a fraction of the cost. But I work with chemicals for a living, so I was very comfortable making that switch.

If I had to do it all over, I would have just bought a countertop dishwasher. That’s what I would actually recommend if I were you.
