    Looks good after only 1 1/2 weeks. Let it sit another 1 1/2 weeks, only way to see if there is
    a difference is to let it sit a bit longer. I will say all of mine have been substantially
    better the lon...

    Thanks. That means a lot considering some of the keezers that are on here. Here's a next to
    last pic hopefully, then the next will be with all of the goodies attached.

    Got the construction finished on this thing last week. The 95+ heat and humidity caused my
    faucet plate to fall off yesterday, but once I get the faucets that won't be an issue anyway.
    My boss has a c...

    Been a week, figured it was time for a bump :ban: :tank:

  • Posted in thread: Brew belt trouble on 06-06-2013 at 12:18 PM
    You are possibly borderline killing the yeast, but i would also imagine you are getting some
    gnarly off-flavors as well. I think the bigger thing to check is why it's that high. Is the
    belt making it ...

  • Posted in thread: A few questions on secondary temps? on 06-06-2013 at 03:00 AM
    You can let it rise to 70 or so if you want. The most important temp phase is over. You don't
    want it to jump quickly or anything to shock the yeast, but letting it raise to 70 should be
    just fine.

  • Posted in thread: A few questions on secondary temps? on 06-05-2013 at 11:03 PM
    You can raise it a bit. It'll kick up the energy of the yeast a little bit to help them finish
    off the byproducts.

  • Posted in thread: 72 Hours, no visible fermentation on 06-05-2013 at 04:57 PM
    Fermentation can be very fast and then slowly finish off. 1.000 sounds a little low, but
    certainly not unheard of. I assume you mean the package was not sanitized before you pitched?
    If not that shoul...

    Those will be much more likely to rust over time and leach things into your wort you likely do
    not want in there. I believe it is best to get those switched out.
