HUZZAH! It's back from the dead. Last night I took a look at the thermostat and took it out and tested the connections on it, put it all the way to the minimum and the ohms went to infinity, but when I swing it back the other way to the colder side, it had 0 ohms resistance. So it wasn't the...

I come with little options left too me and I need some insight hopefully into the workings of this refrigerator. I purchased the Danby DAR044a2SLDD about 3 months ago to be from the beginning made into a kegerator. Purchased all the goodies (two tap beer tower, hoses, whatever) and has been...

So having my bottle bombs and lost the vast majority of my batch, what little I did have left was pretty amazing. It still had apple primary taste, aroma and sweetness of peach, finish of champagne (carbonation wise), really interesting and good (least friends and myself though). Had left all...

I did but I think I didn't let them ripen enough; had to sweeten it on the backend a decent amount. The taste was very light. Haven't tried it yet since through a series of unfortunate events (read: bottle bombs) my batch kersploded. So all I have to go on is my plastic tester bottle and what I...

First time with the recipe; followed a 3 gallon recipe mentioned on page 91. once fermented down to 1.01 I cold crashed, made caramel and added concentrate. Now carbonating in bottles, I did this on the 1st and its the 5th now. plastic 2 liter bottle is getting pretty rigid, but opened a 12 oz...

Denver you have Breckenridge, Wynkoop (oldest I think), Great Divide, Prost, Strange Brewing, Crooked Stave. Going out a little from the city in all sides its Dry Dock, Copper Kettle, Del Norte. Also Colorado Cider Company if you're into it (Cider guy so had to give them a shoutout =P) Boulder...

Hey everyone! Springs shout out What what!? So I'm all for the beer brewing that's going on here and hopefully can attend some events, but all I brew is Hard Cider. Don't knock it till you try it =P But ya just starting off but hoping to get some good high quality juice here from...

Ya I think what i'm going to try and do is let it settle back out (give it ALOT of time to chill out fermenting wise), attempt to cold crash and rack, and then from there re-add concentrate and keg to carbonate. God willing, the yeast won't start back up again haha Thanks Pickled Pepper and...

Gravity before adding sorbate was 1.002, so I guess I had figured it was all done since there was no activity on surface nor bubbles running up the sides. Is it possible to use what yeast is left to carb within the bottles? just move to a bucket, add concentrate + primer, bottle then...

So here's the setup: started this batch 3/17/13, pitched yeast, sweetened up with brown sugar, fermented fine in primary. Then I came to a crossroad when moving to secondary, do I leave the yeast alive and add sugar so it can carb in bottle then stove top pasteurize? or do I kill yeast...
