  The blowoff's only purpose is to give intense amounts of krausen a place to go. Once the most
  active fermentation is done (less than a week), just put an airlock on instead. That way, you
  also have pa...

  Hey all, Anybody else going to this? Which time slot are you thinking about attending (11-3 or
  4-8)? Looking forward to hanging out with some other local homebrewers from the forums and
  other.

  Very nice on your first brew! Welcome to the addiction. I started in August of last year, and
  now, about $1,200 later, I find myself with a full AG setup and a ferm chamber that can ferment
  50 gallons...

  Just for anybody who may be reading this, doing what I did works perfectly. Take a piece of
  cardboard, affix it to separate the air conditioned air outflow port from the mesh and coils at
  roughly a 45...

  ... just that on a rare occasion some advice must be taken with a pinch of salt and I think
  that is a shame but something that members need to be aware of. Wait wait wait, hold on a
  moment...not all ...

  I think I'm talking to myself here. Hah. Just checked on it again, and even though it was
  frosted up a bit (not as much as before), the ambient temp was at 50^F. Wow! That cardboard
  ramp sure improved...

  Still getting frost on the coils and mesh. Here's a couple pics of my AC unit. Since I'm not
  super familiar with the airflow, I'm wondering if the cold air coming out the top gap is being
  immediately ...

  Alright, so I removed the front cover of the A/C unit to maximize airflow to the coils. Then I
  filled every crack and gap with GreatStuff, so it should be pretty air tight inside. Then I
  placed 3 Damp...

  A little ice the evaporator lead won't hurt anything, you have to worry about the coils
  freezing over. Do you have all the covers on it? You've got to get more warmer air moving over
  the coils to keep...

  Damn, just checked it (1 hour after it being on). The temp is down to 62^F, which is good, and
  means it would have cut off soon, but the device to the left of the compressor was freezing
  over. I imagi...
