  Haha, probably right, but I can't figure out how to get that website to estimate additions for
  me, like Palmer's spreadsheet does. I've also tweeked a bunch of the "manual" fields in Palmers
  spreadshe...

• Posted in thread: Add an acid to Palmer's water spreadsheet on 02-13-2013 at 06:44 PM
  I did some googling and came up empty, but is there a way to add an acid to Palmer's water
  spreadsheet? Specifically I want to add 2N H2SO4 as an option (~10% wt/wt).Thanks!

• Posted in thread: I LOVE waking up to hot strike water. Easy as 1-2-3. on 02-12-2013 at 07:49 PM
  Forgive me if I missed this, but has anyone had luck using that stick in a cooler? Do those
  metal foils keep the main element far enough away from everything so as to not melt the
  plastic?

• Posted in thread: Low Frementation Temp for Ales on 02-10-2013 at 04:05 PM
  This advice comes from the perspective of a guy with a fridge plugged into a temp controller,
  but my go-to "house" yeast is WLP004. I try to pitch it under 64 and keep it there for the
  first 36 hours ...

• Posted in thread: A keg conditioning question on 02-10-2013 at 03:48 AM
  I almost always prime a keg to carbonate and really like the results. I use BeerSmith to do the
  calculations and use plain table sugar. I undershoot a little bit since I find it easier to
  make up lack...

• Posted in thread: Best Solution for mashing in the cold on 02-03-2013 at 12:26 PM
  I'm using Wyeast 1728 Scottish Ale yeast and fermenting at 53F for 3 days followed by 2 weeks
  at 56F with a 3 day cold crash at 33F.In coming side track:off:, but have you had luck using
  1728 that low...

  I tried to google a bit, but I can't seem to find something like this in a 110-115v in that
  price range. Any links? Thanks!I agree.If anyone only requires heating or cooling, not both I
  would recommen...

• Posted in thread: Thin body on AG brews? Mash temp? on 01-09-2013 at 02:44 PM
  Double check that your thermometer is accurate in the 145 to 165 range if you can. If not, at
  least check that it reads boiling water at the right temp. I use distilled water and then
  adjust the boili...

• Posted in thread: Bottle conditioning in a growler? on 01-01-2013 at 09:58 PM
  I've done it a about 4 or 5 times with good results. I'm partial to english low-carbonated
  styles, so I think the most I've ever done is 2.1 volumes or so. I put the growler in a 5
  gallon bucket with ...

• Posted in thread: ebay aquarium temp controller build on 12-30-2012 at 02:03 PM
  I can think of several applications where I only need temp control in one direction. Cooling
  would be all I need for my keggerator build. Do you think you could run that model in heat mode
  also? Heati...
