So, I've got my STC1000, and my Freezer ready to go. I realized I don't have any wires. Being the horder that I am, I dug around in some boxes, and found these computer wires. One of them is the 3 prong cable and the other cable is only 2. Would these work just fine when wiring up my...

Thank you so much for the reply. I'm doing some reading on some other threads I found about people who have done similar things with fridges. I'll eventually update this thread with what I end up doing :D

This is bad news for my plan then :(

Thats the problem, the fridge side. I want it to not affect that at all. I want that to still be a beer fridge. I only want the freezer side temp controlled. (Also, side question, what is the best temp for a fermentation chamber? 70F?)

So, I was going to buy a chest style freezer, and toss a thermostat controller on it to use as a climate controlled fermentation chamber. At most, I'll only ever have 2 carboys going at once, and I only one 1 so far. I haven't gotten the chest freezer yet, but I do have an extra full size...

Roger that. Thanks phuff and everyone else for the info! Gonna be hard to wait 4 more weeks... haha!

I had some solid krausen back a few weeks ago a good 2.5 inches, but now there are just a few yeast rafts on top. Barely anything. I never remember hearing the airlock, but I only checked it once or twice a day. I'm not sure if the blueberry has sugar content in it... I bought it from...

The honey was added at the end of my boil after I turned the stove off. It is about 1lb of raw honey and has been in the fermentor for the full 3 weeks. I don't have a hydrometer to test the gravities... :(

Thank you phuff! The calculator was telling me to add like 7oz of corn sugar! I don't want to make any bombs! Does the honey/blueberry flavoring have any bearing on the priming sugar? Also for the MRB, would 2oz of corn sugar be about perfect for a Bohemian Pilsner?

So I have two fermenters that are at 3 weeks today and I need to get them bottled. My first question is: Is 3 weeks fermenting good? I know a lot of people do 2 weeks. They stayed between 62-65F the entire time and in a dark place. I plan on bottle carbing for 3 weeks, and then 1 week in the...

Well, I'll have to buy a small scale then. I still need to know how much sugar to use. I have been snooping around on the Mr Beer forums too...

Could you elaborate a bit on that? I don't own a scale, I was using those little black plastic measuring spoons you can buy anywhere. ***** I still need to know how much sugar to use : \

********** ***TLDR: How much priming sugar do I use for a batch priming a Mr. Beer ********** Quoting myself on this. I used one of these calculator web sites to try to figure this out. The beer I'm making is the Czech Republic Pilsner. I wasn't sure what to put for the BJCP style, so I put...

If using a bottling bucket, how much priming sugar should I use for one LBK? Also, how much water should I use to dissolve it in? I should add that I'm using corn sugar.

Bump for: Thanks for the replies guys! I apparently mis understood my own question. I meant 3 in fermentor 2 in bottles at 70 1 in the fridge Is that good? And yeah i do plan on doing that whiskey shot haha

I don't see any fuzz. So that's good. How about my temps and planned time table? The airlock has cheap whiskey in it, as I don't own vodka... Haha

So it has been 10 days. Here is an update on the pictures. Again, this is my first 5 gallon batch, and first time in a clear carboy, so I just want to make sure it looks right! I'm going with a 3-2-1 because I added honey. If you think it should stay in a certain stage longer or...
