    One little island of hot break material keeps showing in boil

    I'm about halfway into my boil for a Firestone Walker DBA clone, and there's a bit of what looks like break material that keeps showing up, and always in the same spot of the keggle too. I keep skimming it off and it keeps coming back. I know it's not a bad thing or anything like that, but I...

    How to get proper cellar temps?

    Is there any way to get proper cellar temps for the beers that I am aging in a closet? It's pretty much the coolest area in my place that I can store beer in, and any sort of dedicated fridge is way out of my price range. Right now, the closet sits at a hair under 65F, but I don't know what...
