Do they even read messages anymore? I asked them to cancel my last order, and it still pending. Guess I'll have to call, or reverse the CC charge.

I put in an order on 2/5. Still pending, with no replies to my requests for order status. I'm trying to cancel the order, and am done trying to deal with them. So sad, they were a good company. :(

Update: I can login to their site in Chrome now.

Still won't for me. I'm running Chrome Version 39.0.2171.99 m

It's blowing up in Chrome. In IE, it works fine. That's odd.

Are you sure they are still open? The login page on their site is dead now. Just a "page not found" error.

I got an email reply back from Ed. They have had several employees leave recently and are very short staffed. They are working on bringing in more staff and trying to keep up with incoming orders. It was good to hear from him and I wish them luck. My order is due in today and I intend to...

They're not even responding to emails now. Are they even still in business? Their site has no problems accepting orders and taking payments. I thought an order in pending since 10/31 was bad... :(

For most lagers, I do a three day d-rest after fermentation day 12. Even if you don't detect any buttery smell, it's good to wake the yeast up for a final clean up. There is more than Diacetyl they need to eat.

Since cold sinks and heat rises, how would mounting it on the bottom be more efficient?

Vodka Freezer. I'm going to make a box out of 2" foam board, big enough for a liter bottle. I want the peltier rig to be built into the lid, with the cold (heat) sink just above the top of the bottle. That is going to make the lid awkward to remove, so I might end up mounting the peltier...

I have seen claims that will lower the ambient temp from 40*F to 125*F. Assuming a 75*F room, is it possible to use one or more peltiers to lower the temp to 0*F? This is going to require a MONSTER 12V power supply... :rockin:

That's kind of what I was thinking. It drained like a hose.

I think I'll cut the braid in half, and save half for when it needs to be replaced. :ban:

I finally finished my new MLT. It's an 11 gallon SS pot fitted into a 10 gallon Igloo cooler. I went with a 3 foot braid instead of a 2 foot, like my old MLT had. Just tried it on a batch of wheat. Had excellent drainage, but my efficiency was pretty low. My water calculations were bang...
