Yes, I did 0.2oz of CTZ

Gotcha. So for the style it may be a soft drinker.

It honestly never crossed my mind and I definitely panicked. So you think I am going to get a whole lot of bitter?

My 4th brew day (NE IPA) pretty much went without issues. The one thing I learned is that I need to let my wort rest post flameout instead of starting to chill before starting my whirlpool. I guess I hadn't researched the subject enough but in the time it took me to attach my whirlpool drill...

I have it and like it a lot. Took advantage of a similar sale.

Had good results with the cereal killer so far. Approx. 75% efficiency in both my batches since using it.

Unless they are on the bottom, I believe the coils are spread throughout the shell of the freezer. It is one of the risks I was willing to take with this project. If I have to change a craigslist freezer every year or 2 at around $50 it is one of the least expensive components. I built it so I...

Put the finishing touches on the keezer and positioned it behind the bar. Decided on an antique wax to match its surroundings better. I made the tap handles using my first hops and grain (may carve some others but these will do for now). First homebrew in fermentation right now and doing well...

I have a temperature controller that probably needs a new "NO" terminal on the output. All input and output wiring is correct according to Johnson Controls manual. After running my voltage meter over every connection it seems to have a bad "NO" terminal (the terminal that controls the keezer...

I gotcha. That makes me feel at ease. The airlock was bubbling 5 hours after I pitched so I know there is some activity in there. Fingers crossed for no DMS flavors. Thanks everyone!

I used a german pilsner malt Unfortunately i doubt it was hop debris because i discovered it right before I added my first hops. I did have a short boil over when i was tweaking my burner setup.

So I finished my first brew and hit very close to my numbers. My only nervousness is that I kept the lid on my kettle about 3/4 of the way for 60 minutes on a 90 minute boil. When I took it off at 60 minutes, there was a grey foam stuck to the bottom of the lid. I kept the lid off the rest of...

Very nice!

Yes. I have both. Will wait for the wax to dry before i start drilling again
