    Guide to set internal chest freezer thermostat to >32F; Eliminate external control

    Anyone have any idea what this looks like for a Frigidaire? I am mechanically stupid but a capable learner. Would love to do this rather than buy a temp control.

    WTB: Temperature Control

    Looking to buy a temperature control of some form for a keezer conversion.

    Temperature control for Keezer

    I took a look at the Ranco ETC-111000, and it looks like that, too, requires additional wiring -- am I wrong? I want something that works (doesn't have to be absolutely perfect) that's affordable and that I can install and manipulate easily. Looking at the ebay aquarium thread, I think I...

    Temperature control for Keezer

    I don't have any wiring skills, so maybe I should pass? It really depends on the quality of instructions...any thoughts?

    Temperature control for Keezer

    I am certain this has been posted before, but after a very cursory search, I didn't find anything. I am looking to convert a Frigidaire chest freezer into a keezer and want to find a good looking, easy to use and install thermostat/temperature controller. I don't, however, intend on...

    Black and Decker Vacuum Sealer

    Maine. I'd be willing to subsidize shipping a little if it is outrageous. I don't think this unit will fit in any flat rate boxes, so it'd likely have to go UPS and we know how that goes. Comes in original box with paperwork.

    Black and Decker Vacuum Sealer

    I've got one very lightly used FreshGuard Vacuum Sealer that works like a champ. These little guys are every bit as good as the Foodsaver and can use the same bags. Perfect for saving hops, grains, etc. 30 dollars plus shipping OBO. Includes one 20' foot roll of 8" bags - good for...

    Leffe bottles? Anyone?

    I just cleaned these bad boys up. The foil came off surprisingly well and the labels basically fell of. I recommend these little bottles where applicable.

    Leffe bottles? Anyone?

    Good to hear! Thanks. Cheers.

    Leffe bottles? Anyone?

    Besides their annoying foil and smaller size, is there any reason not to reuse Leffe bottles? Will they work with the standard caps and a wing capper? I capped one and it seemed to be on tight but sometimes the smallest gap is the biggest culprit. I'm short on bottles and need to scrounge some...

    LHBS Pet Peeves

    I frequent three different home brew shops in Maine. One is in my home town of Bangor - it's actually an all natural grocer with an impressive selection - and they are able keep their prices very competitive because they have a ton of revenue streams beyond brewing, which is nice. They only have...

    What Hops Should I buy in Bulk???!!

    Hopsdirect is great, ain't it? I just ordered five pounds from them: Cascade, Willamette, Saaz, Fuggles and Chinook. Should give me the versatility to brew a lot. American, British, Belgian, etc.

    some bottles weaker than others?

    In my experience, some redemption centers will give them to you for five cents (or whatever they give for them). You might even be able to trade some of your pop bottles and cans. Offer to look through unsorted ones or to buy entire cases - that way they don't have to re-sort/re-pack.

    Soft drink regulators and beer

    The one I've got is a 0-160 PSI, now that I look can I still dial in carbonation with this?

    Soft drink regulators and beer

    I think I see the difference. Soda ones have a range of 0-110 while beer ones are 0-60, making it easier to dial in?

    Soft drink regulators and beer

    Anyone know why soft drink regulators aren't made for beer? I've got one that I intend to build around, but after looking at the micromatic website, I'm not so sure it's fit for this application. Why not? http://www.micromatic.com/draft-keg-beer/gas-equipment-pid-942.html Is this a...
