  Yeah, auto defrost isn't working, the problem is still going to be around no matter what
  thermostat you use. If it's a mechanical older model, you might need a timer, klixon, thermal
  fuse or heater el...

• Posted in thread: Is this a good Temp Control??? on 08-08-2008 at 07:32 PM
  For that money you can get a digital controller. But then again I can't see any benefit of a
  digital over an mechanical except for you can see the current temp, dial in +-0.1 of a degree
  if you want, ...

  s04 has low attenuation, even on my kit beers with an OG of 1048 it only got down to 1014 in

  Domestics don't have pressure controls.The biggest problem if it is low on refrigerant is not

  are under ...

  Probably obvious, but did you make sure the thermostat isn't in the lowest (warmest) setting?
  Try fussing with the dial anyway. Most inexpensive fridges have thermal fuses to prevent
  overload and dang...

  sure the ...

• Posted in thread: Slow fermenting lager on 08-05-2008 at 10:44 AM
  You have a high OG for a lager and you underpitched. You should have used 2 vials or made a
  starter.Because of this fermentation may take a while, but don't worry, just give it time.

• Posted in thread: Pitch dry yeast or re-order the liquid yeast? on 08-02-2008 at 07:08 PM
  Yeah, nottingham for high attenuation, eg dry stouts, Safale s-04 for medium english ales, s-05
  for dry pale ales. Danstar (makers of nottingham) also make a munich yeast for euro lagers. It
  pays to k...

  unsalvageble.I bottled...
