    New fermentation porn!

    Great setup. I found a True GDM on craigslist for $100... love it. I've got my STC1000 built into the base of the fridge with the cooling run going straight to the compressor and the heating run going to a red light in the fridge. How do I bypass the thermostat? Everytime it gets to cold the...

    Using a NEST thermostat for temp control?

    Cheers. Makes sense about the low voltages. I just have access to a few free ones and it got me thinking. I'm more than happy with using my STC1000 but I also really like the Brew Pi setup.

    Using a NEST thermostat for temp control?

    Anybody thought about using a Nest controller to control their fermentation chambers? This is my current setup: A coke fridge with an STC1000 rigged into it (quite nicely with a stained wood panel at the base?

    Star San off flavor due to spray bottle?

    Thanks for the reply. Our water in Vancouver has almost nothing in it, including chlorine, so i don't think it's a chloro-phenol issue. I rinsed out the ZEP bottles with hot water about 3 times with some vigerouse shaking, but I'm guessing they still leeched a bit of nastiness in. I went out...

    Star San off flavor due to spray bottle?

    So I know it's been discussed that Star San really doesn't produce any significant flavor characteristics in fear... "don't fear the foam" I recently had a batch turn out with a bit of a plastic aftertaste so I tastes the starsan in my ZEP spray bottle... EXACT SAME TASTE. How long do you...

    Double batch mash tun size?

    I'm looking in to getting a mashtun for double batches (10gal beer). Is it best to use two smaller coolers or is there a certain size that is ideal for doubler batches?
