Thanks for getting it rolling Patrick but I'm going to hold out for now.

Welcome to if I can't sell it!

**SOLD** http://newyork.craigslist.org/brk/for/2657700356.html $5,500 obo I have a current model Sabco Brew-Magic up for sale. Purchased new about a year ago, I bought this off the original owner in early summer. Previous owner used the system about twice and its shows. Great condition...

Thanks. I probably was not understanding things as they were flying at me. In your opinion, could there be any shelf life benefits to a small amount sugar added this way...even if not to add noticeable carbonation changes.

Hey Guys, have any of you ever experimented with adding small amounts of priming sugar, while still using force carbonation to bottle? I had a chance to visit Mendocino Brewing a couple weeks ago and had a great tour with one of the head guys there. I may have misunderstood him, but it seemed...

Coming in the next morning after reseting the Overload the controller again had no power. I posted a thread up here https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f51/fermentation-chamber-help-199686/#post2325296 Thanks to DrawTap88 I did some snooping and found that you want to make sure to have an anti-short...

Hey DrawTap88 thanks for the lead. I did a little snooping around. "Short cycling a compressor will damage it. 2-3 seconds as in your case may not damage it, but only a few minutes between cycles is not good. Be careful with your controller. Allow 5-10 minutes between shutdown and the start of...

You know I remember a post about that. Thanks for the help I'll take a trip in the search.

I build a fermentation chamber out of a maytag freezer here: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f51/upright-freezer-turned-fermentation-chamber-197161/ The problem Im having is the Overload Protector keep tripping every couple of days. I can reset it...and have things back to normal...but...

Here's a link to my build and a couple snaps https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f51/upright-freezer-turned-fermentation-chamber-197161/

Little update: After about 2 weeks of operations I came in to see that the love controller had no power (display was off). After some trouble shooting with the multimeter I found that no power was getting to where I tapped in at the thermostat. Digging around led me to the overload located...

Thanks GildTuborg, thats some great info to think about. I know people have trouble getting these sorts of beers to finish....so this explanation really makes a ton of sense to me. I've built myself a fermentation chamber...so hopefully temp control will be a snap...

Will someone please point towards info on fermenting temperatures as they relate to flavors. I know the basics but changing temp over primary is what I'm looking for. I'm brewing a Belgium Strong now with Wyeast Belgian Strong Ale 1388, pitched at 62 and will be stepping 2 degrees a day till...

Had one of these last night. Its an enjoyable American Amber Lager. Clean crisp, light body, malty nose with a malty sweet caramel flavor. The carbonation is light and very tight, distantly reminiscent of champagne. All the flavors meld well, and the beer comes off as well crafted instead of...

Black wire is taking the hot from the thermostat (freezer blue), white wire (freezer red)is the switch that turns on the cooling section Distributed the black power connections with a wire nut. Ran the system neutral, the compressor switch wire and the heater extension cord switch with white...
