  Cool build, haven't seen any one else actually cut out the compressor bump. I've been looking
  for a fridge that will hold a 6 gal better bottle for a while to deal with this.

• Posted in thread: Use a brew hauler as a DIY carboy dryer on 03-27-2013 at 04:58 AM
  Not sure if this is a DIY Project or an Equipment/Sanitation issue, but if you like to store
  your plastic carboys dry, here's an easy way to do it without having to buy anything, provided
  you have (a)...

  3/4 cup of corn sugar (priming sugar) should be good for an APA. I would consult How to Brew on
  that one also - it's a good resource for it (buy the book if you don't have it!) - hitting
  your target...

  Check out John Palmer's Lady Liberty Pale Ale recipe, it's an excellent APA base: did my first

  KurtB - the smaller one seems to have a higher RPM range than the larger one (1300-3000 vs
  800-1500), so I'm not sure why you would need it. I have the smaller one and I have to keep it
  on a low-mediu...

  One day I'll use an oxygen tank or maybe shake a carboy to aerate my wort, but for now I'm
  fermenting in a bucket and using a drill mounted aerator which seems to work well. They sell
  drill mounted ae...

  I did the same thing, but I put this fan inside a wood cigar box, which was $5 a local cigar
  shop, but you might be able to get one for free. I drilled some holes in the box and used the
  screws that c...

  Yes, if you have access to old hard drives you can same money by harvesting magnets out of them
  for projects like this. People do that a lot for stir plates. I didn't have access to old hard
  drives, b...

  The mounting magnets for attaching the the brackets to the fridge are 1". Model MMS-A-X0 from
  K&J Magnetics. They were not cheap (about $4 each), but they are very strong. They can
  definitely hold 1 f...

  Yea, a lot of people are clearly using voile and paint strainer bags, but I looked for a while
  and there's no information on their food safety out there. These filter bags are the only thing
