The promo code isn't working for me. I get the error message "The promotional code you entered cannot be applied to your purchase." Anyone else having this problem?

Ah, I got ya. That's not a bad idea. I'll have to keep that in mind if I can't find a fully automated solution within reasonable cost. I'll have to look into that. So far, I've only thought about a march, chugger, or 12V us solar pump. I actually wasn't planning on having an HLT. I...

So once you adjust your flow rate via the ball valve, you pretty much never have to adjust it? My concern is that I may have to monkey with the ball valve from one brew to the next to achieve a desired flow rate. Even within the same brew, I'm anticipating having to adjust the flow rate to...

For those that have automated their home brewery setups, how did you automate the control of the flow rate? For example during sparging, you probably don't want to have the ball valve at the output of the MLT open full throttle as it may compact the grain bed. From what I've read, motorized...

Subscribed. This is so full of win.

I've done a pineapple pale ale with 2 x fresh pineapples. I cut the pineapple into chunks then stuck them in the freezer so that the ice crystals would perforate the cell walls. Supposedly, this makes the sugar in the pineapple more accessible. After an overnight freeze, I threw the chunks...

I've force carbed and done the set it and forget it method and I actually prefer to force carb. I put my fermentor in my keezer a couple days prior to kegging so it gets down to serving temp, somewhere between 43-48F. When kegging time comes around, I siphon to the keg and purge the...

I believe most fans have a minimal voltage required to get it spinning and I'm not sure if 4-5V will cut the mustard. Are you able to adjust the distance of the fan from the stir plate surface? I lowered my fan away from the stir plate because it would throw the bar when I first turned it on.

Stirring helps to even out the temp after you mash in so I guess it prevent cold spots in that respect. I use a 36 qt MLT and I regularly see +/- 3F from one side of the tun to the other.

Wow, great looking keezer! Thanks, Quaffer for posting this thread and to everyone that has provided feedback. I'm going to start my keezer build this weekend with this model freezer. I want to attach the collar to the lid rather than the freezer. For those that have done this, how did you...
