The back on mine reads: Amps 1.7A Max Amps 6.0A In case anyone else wants to know the depth inside the fridge: it's 11.5 inches from the front lip to the compressor hump (that's 1 inch less than my kenmore elite). You would need to remove the door molding to fit a 6 gallon better bottle or...

Great thread, thanks for all the info! I was hoping someone could save me excess driving by taking a measurement inside the fridge? The dimension I'm looking for is inside at the bottom, from the hump to the lip the door seals on. I'd like to use the fridge as a fermentation fridge and want...

The Kenmore Elite 4.9 is supposed to be almost identical to the Sanyo. The Kenmore is what I have and I easily fit two kegs, and I'm pretty sure a 5 lbs. would fit in the back too. The problem is Sears doesn't have the fridge listed on their site anymore, so they might have been discontinued...

So I finally have space for a freezer/fridge to control my fermentation temperatures, yay! I understand that a chest freezer will accommodate more than one carboy/bucket. But if the goal is to control fermentation temperatures, isn't it very likely I'll have one bucket that's fermenting...

I placed my order the 12th via USPS priority, but it didn't ship until the 17th. Not that I'm complaining, it sounds like they are swamped with orders.

Here are my rhizomes I got today! :ban: Jumbo Cascade, Fuggle, and Mt Hood, two regular Centennials, and a Zeus. I hope the jumbo rhizomes are worth it. Anyone have any recommendations on how to store them for the next couple weeks? I've heard to put them in the fridge in a plastic bag, but...

Kinda...I'm fermenting a raisin wine recipe that my Malaysian roommate raves about. It called for Chinese rock sugar, so since I couldn't get the rock sugar I used the instructions on the wiki to make yellowish candi sugar. My roommate tasted it, and said it was acceptable (not sure if he was...

Hope I'm not hijacking here, but whenever I've done the late addition I've worried about stopping the boil and how that affects my earlier hop additions. I'll kill the flame then add my extract at 15 minutes and it takes about 5 minutes to stir everything in. Then another 5 minutes to get...

Anyone have experience or thoughts about using a couple immersible cartridge heaters to accomplish the same goals (HLT, MLT, and/or boil)? Are there any advantages or disadvantages like watt density or durability of the elements? I've seen some cartridge heaters that have thermocouples built...

Hi, I've been a long time lurker and wanted to start posting! I've been brewing since I could drink, and a little before and am finally starting to make beer that friends ask for another. I'm AG and extract, and have started simplifying with extract and dry yeast because of my living...
