  I agree, I use a 7.0 cf chest freezer for a ferm chamber myself, but some brewers have limited
  space so they need something more compact. But I agree, if you have the room, you can get quite
  a bang fo...

  I had planned to use thermal paste to affix the cold side of the pelt to a copper sheet which I
  would wind a few turns of copper pipe across and just slather it in thermal paste to try to get
  a good c...

  Nobody has any thoughts?:drunk::confused:

  I've been drawing up designs for a system to control fermentation temperature. My current plan
  involves a blanket with flexible tubing stitched back and forth over one side, so I can wrap
  the blanket ...

  I usually use whirfloc, but forgot to pick it up this time. Should I leave the kegs in the

  I kegged them both on the 8th and transported them on the 9th by car for about an hour drive.
  They've been in the fridge at 40 degrees for 2 days now. I know that's way too little time, but
  my last ex...

  I compared it to my glass thermometer and they both returned the same result earlier today in a
  glass of water in the kegerator at 40 degrees. It has a metal probe about 4 or 5 inches long
  then curves...

  Yeah I had read that on another site, but I'm fairly certain my temp was good.. It was frigid
  out during the brew, so it dropped 2 or 3 degrees during the mash, but I started at about 156
  and it dropp...

  I've had hefes, but this is *really* cloudy. Maybe it's because I'm kegging and it's drawing
  sediment off the bottom, but that still doesn't explain the watery flavor. It's also quite a
  bit lighter th...

  I just tried my first two AG brews, and they're both...disappointing. I'm fairly sure the first
  is because of a bad recipe that swmbo tried to invent, but the second was a hefe. I used 6lbs
