    Nightmare brew day. Just venting

    Playing devils advocate I guess. PSA: only addressing the first line. I agree that I would never want to steer people away from home brewing. Honestly I’ll say there’s never been a hobby I’ve taken more seriously, while at the same time enjoyed it that much. I guess what I was getting at with...

    Nightmare brew day. Just venting

    I normally let it rest at room temp for a week after fermentation. This time I left it in the keezer after fermentation at 55°For 2 weeks till I keg’ed it. It’s in my serving keezer at 37°. probably just needs to sit for another week or 2. I guess time will tell. Tasted fine for being flat, all...

    Brew day temp control failure (lagger)

    Can probably pick one up this week. Not sure what the hell happened last night but when I got up this morning I was at my target temp of 55°. Not sure if the motor is going out on my freezer or what. Probably just best to replace it before my batch sours

    Brew day temp control failure (lagger)

    Brewed a lagger today, pitched yeast, left the house for a couple hours. When I came home I could hear my Inkbird alarm going off. It seems my freezer decided to crap out on me. Checked the inkbird and it is working properly. Freezer will not kick on even when plugged directly into outlet. My...
