    Lots Of Banana Esters On Purpose

    what happened to my yeast

    Homemade glycol system question.

    Ya I was gonna seal it off with hit glue or silicone. There is no freezer in this online a cooling plate down the entire back of the bar fridge. I might be able to get some books riveted to the container to keep it on top of the cooling panel so I won't have far to go. That way I can use less glycol
