    Too much Corn sugar

    Out of the secondary into the keg. Banana smell is gone. Smells like beer. Looks like beer, but taste is a bit light. We shall see how it does in a few days sitting in the keg. Not much of a mouth feel.

    an update... The beer is off and running. It fermented for a solid 14 days of bubbling the air lock and now the yeast are starting to fall back in. after a few days I plan of taking this to a secondary. The smell of ripe bananas :ban: is overwhelming! So far looks like the beer gods have...

    is it my freezer or thermostat?

    you want to know why your external thermostat can work and your freezer wont get cold? imagine this was your car... Your foot is the external thermostat... your fuel pump is your internal thermostat. If your fuel pump is clogged and will only allow enough fuel for your car to hit 50mph it...

    is it my freezer or thermostat?

    confirm. If the internal thermostat was broken and only allowing the compressor to run until the temp hit 50 degrees then the external thermostat would be of no ability to get the temperature any lower. Yes if you bypass the internal thermostat and the freezer gets to freezing temperatures...

    is it my freezer or thermostat?

    also to explain the pssst sound... When a compressor is running there is a high side and a low side of pressure. If you unplug a compressor the high side and low side remain until the even out... When you plug in the compressor before these pressures even out you have a compressor trying to...

    is it my freezer or thermostat?

    when I was a repair guy it would have been about $75 but that was then. Also something to check is to bypass the thermostat on the freezer its self. Not that hard of a job. The easiest way would be to just take the freezer thermostat out and tape the wires together (short term trouble...

    is it my freezer or thermostat?

    The pft sound tells me you unplugged the freezer from the thermostat then quickly plugged it into the wall. So unplug the freezer. Take your thermostat plug and set it glue side down some place dry. Now let the freezer sit for 10 minutes unplugged. Buy yourself a simple mercury thermometer...

    Avoiding bees while brewing

    Feed the bees and they will go to sleep. Really I am not joking here. Put some honey out on a board just kind of make swirls so it has lost of surface area and the bees will come. They will eat and then they will go sleep it off. Sugar coma? Have had to do this a time or two when a rouge...
