    I didn't see any, but I'll check it again when I get home.

    Connecting wires to the back of the Love Controller

    Noob Alert... :cross: I'm unsure of how to physically connect the wires to the love controller. Do I just solder the wires into the holes or is there some type of connector I can use? Everything I found is related to the actual wiring diagram, which I think I have figured out. But, I...

    Burnt Hair Aroma?

    So, this isn't technically a commercial beer. But, I just went to a local brewpub and ordered a belgian something (sorry I know that's vague). However the first thing I noticed when I put my nose to it was a strong burnt hair smell. I didn't particularly enjoy it, but I can't say I've ever...

    Stuck Saison?

    I just finished a saison with that yeast. I had mine up to 90 and was agitating it daily. I eventually got it down to 1.016 with a target of 1.013. Close enough. Took about 5 weeks all together.

    Fermentation Chamber Heater

    Looks great, but unless I could find as good as deal as you did, it's a little out of my budget.

    Fermentation Chamber Heater

    Thanks Boerderij_Kabouter, fellow Wisconsinite! :mug: That should be a big help. I just went and looked at a chest freezer from CL. Man this could be tight. The ledge is bigger than I thought. But, I should have a 1/4 inch to spare on the sides in the valley to put my 6 1/2 carboy.

    Fermentation Chamber Heater

    Cool, lots of great suggestions. I think I'm going to end up going the ceramic reptile heat lamp and a fan. Then I'm going to use the LOVE TSS2-2100 controller to tie it all together in a 5 cu ft freezer. It'll be tight, but that's what I want. I only need to ferment one carboy at a...

    Fermentation Chamber Heater

    I'm looking to build a fermentation chamber out of a 5 cu ft chest freezer. Hopefully thats enough space (I'm going to measure first). Anyway, I'd like it to be a dual stage chamber (heat and cool). So, obviously I have the cooling part handled, but I'm unsure about what kind of heater to...

    2010 Belgian saison

    Thanks guys, but I might just be lucky. It's getting up to 80 in Wisconsin today. I think that should help out. If anything, I'll just let it sit a while longer into the warmer months.
