So i need a 2nd opinion. I recently made a fermenting chamber that will fit 4 carboys with a STC-1000. I have a nice old vintage kegerator that looks great in the barn but only fits 3 kegs very tightly, i would like to add a 4th. Im debating on buying a new fridge that will fit 4 but don't want...

I brewed a triple about 4 weeks ago, OG was 1.090. i was told to just pitch two vials rather than making a starter. I soon realized that my 6gallon bucket was nowhere near large enough to hold such a vigorous ferment, so i had to jimmy a blow off tube. After 2 weeks it dropped to 1.030 and last...

im doing my first belgian triple and need to add candi sugar. my LHBS said to just add it at the beginning of my 60min boil with all my extract. I have been reading that adding it last 5-15 min is the way to go. Also i have LME and DME should i add both at beginning of boil or half later...

on the temp probe/sensor there use to be two solid wires that you would plug into the back of the stc. i cut those wires off on accident. When i stripped back the wire to expose new wire it was stranded not solid like i cut off? is this going to effect the way the probe reads/works?

I know that full boils are better so since i only have a 5gal pot could i just add water as it evaporates to keep it as close to 5 gal as possible or am i just better off adding the few gals to my fermentor. And how long do hops stay fresh once the vaccume bag had been opened or am i better off...
