    Recommendations for Fermentation Control

    Evening folks, I would like some suggestions, I see several different systems available, several versions of BrewPi plus Fermentrack and I think I ran across something else. I was using a couple of STC's until a probe took a dump and life took over for a while. I now want to get my side by side...

    First try at BIAB...I may be sold.

    So I decided to try a 3.5 gallon BIAB as an experiment into the process, being that I'm the only one at home that drinks beer (SHMBO is a wine drinker), I decided smaller batches were in order and BIAB seemed to be a viable option. Without investing in more equipment until I tried it out, I...

    Quick and Easy Sweet Recipe?

    Side by Side Conversion Started

    So I finally got started on the conversion, freezer side = serving / lagering? Fridge side = ferm / lagering? I ordered 2 STC 1000's, both read fahrenheit! One is an Inkbird and the other is ? Why 2 different ones? No reason just thought I'd see if I liked one better than the other, one will...

    Humidity Opinions

    So I finally received the parts needed to start my side by side build (STC controllers, fans, louvers, etc.). I also ordered the Eva-Dry E-500 to control humidity, I learned last time around that this is a real issue. So should I put the Eva-Dry on the fermentation side or serving side? I'm...

    Houston, we (may) have a problem
