I'm wondering if there are any dorm fridges out there that are large enough to serve dual roles. I'm want to get a temp control and use it for more precise fermentation and would also like to be able to lager in it. Anything out there that will let me do this? Thanks.

Cool, thats what I was hoping to hear.

I meant to brew over the holiday weekend but things came up. I made a starter wort on friday night covered it with aluminum foil and put it in the fridge. Will this still be good for me to use for a starter this coming weekend? thanks.

I'm using a wine degasser attached to a drill for a couple of minutes and was just wondering if i'm doing enough to aerate? Whats your practice?

Thanks man, that site is great.

What is the ideal temperature for long term storage of beer adn wine?

It's been a few months and I've managed to try a few more limited release/seasonal ales and thought I'd bump with the new additions. Feel free to add to the list if you've come across anything.

So where am I better off ageing my RIS? I've got it sitting in a carboy right now that I have no forseeable need for. My other option is to keg it, get it carbed and then bottle it and put it away until Xmas. Thoughts?

Yeah, I don't worry about it. Half the fun of making beer for me is enjoying it with friends and family.

Well I feel a bit better now. Thanks everyone.

Is there any benefit to having a thick or thin mash? I screwed up my math this morning when brewing and ended up with the thickest mash I've ever had. I'm just wondering if I could run into any problems because of that.

Good enough. I'll give it until the end of the weekend and update things. After that I'll try to update it a couple of times a month. When you add a beer, if you know what month it was released add it please. Otherwise if I cant figure it out I'll just say what season it came out.

I know I personally look forward to certain limited releases or seasonal beers every year. But a lot of times something new will come around and will be gone before I hear about it. So I was thinking we could use this thread as a place to post when you come across something new being released...

Just wondering why effeciency goes down when making a big AG beer?

Ahh, gotcha. That makes sense. Thanks.
