First off, this thread is amazing. Thanks to everyone that has contributed ideas! I'd love to develop my design in Sketchup, but I'm completely overwhelmed with how to get started. Any easy ways to learn the basics? I'm sure building something so simple as a brew stand must be pretty easy, right?

After adding the coffee at flameout, do you guys let it steep for any certain amount of time before starting up your chiller, or pretty much just start the chilling right away?

Such a great idea! Well done.

I would LOVE to figure out a Zeelander clone.

Put this in the fermenter today: 4 gallons apple juice 1 gallon cranberry juice 3068 Looking forward to trying it.

Just read through the whole thread. AMAZING work! I'm quite jealous.

Had mine in the fermentation chamber at 63* for two weeks and it only got down to 1.029 from 1.062.

Brewed this today. Hit my expected OG on the dot. Have it in my fermentation chamber at 63*. Excited to drink it!

Just finished wiring mine tonight, and it is working correctly! This was my first foray into electrical wiring, so I'm pretty pleased with myself, haha. Thanks everyone for such a great thread.

How hard was it to wire that bad boy? I have no wiring knowledge but I've been looking at that exact same controller.

Amazon has this cheap(er) clover honey that comes in at $2.90/lb http://www.amazon.com/dp/B001E5DZRU/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20

Boom, just got my first batch going! So much great info in this thread. Thanks EdWort & everyone else for the input. I had an extra 64oz apple juice so I made a 5.5 gallon batch, other than that, followed the recipe precisely.
