Started with old side by side. Removed the handles and drawers. Built a shelf and test fit. Removed some pallet wood and stained. Liquid nails is awesome stuff. Fitted the taps and drip tray after glueing on rest of wood. I used an Inkbird 310T for the temperature controller and see...

I realize that i may need a second controller if the fridge side can't hold a decent 60ish range for fermenting. Just wondering if controlling on the freezer side would cause any problems with compressor or other unforeseen issues.

So I have decided to try my hand at a side by side kegerator/ferm chamber. I have opened the panel with the wiring and noticed only the fridge thermostat is located in there. Can I keep it simple by using a manual temperature controller by plugging the fridge into it and keeping the thermo to...

Okay...hoping I made a good purchase. Just picked up a coding kit from Radioshak for 25 bucks. Includes Arduino power supply and a few modules. I have a little C+ programming and very little HTML and PHP programming. Can I use this as a PID without the Raspberry Pi? Also, what other nifty...

I have a Sanke keg in great shape with a coupler and looking to trade for 5 gal kegs. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

I have been using the solar water pumps from eBay. I have had great luck with these. Say they are rated for 212 degrees but I only use it for mashing and circulating cold water through my chiller. Some people don't like them, but for 18 to 22 bucks with free shipping it's worth a try. Just...

Anxious to get an update. Here's my secondary about ready to bottle. Bubbled pretty good for 2 days. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

I just used mine in the last batch brewing. Just used it intermittently to help recirculate and keep a constant temp in my BIAB setup. Unscrewed the unions (wish I would have gone with cam locks) and submerged in sink and plumbed into immersion chiller. Worked like a charm and no dragging...

Like you I have hadn't had much luck with a lot of documentation using dates. I just added 3 pounds chopped up an added to secondary of some 2 row and honey malt. Experiment time. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

I have, 3 out of the 4 batches so far have been wonderful. My attempt at a Honey Irish Red wasn't that great because my mash temperatures were a bit high and didn't ferment out as much as it should have. I've been meaning to post, but just smashed really my initial setup (4 batches) and my...
