I think you guessed right...

Hey, thanks for all the suggestions! That ITC-308 looks good. The specs for this fridge can be seen here: https://www.manualslib.com/manual/333411/True-Gdm-45.html so it appears that the amp draw is 10.2 I live in Newport Beach, CA and I wanted the extra space so I could have a 2nd fermenter in...

Hello and thanks in advance for any information and/or tips/suggestions you may have... I recently picked up a True GDM-45 model (image attached) refrigerator and plan on using it as a fermentation chamber only. I'm located in Southern California, so I don't think I'll need to add a heating...

ya, pretty sure bottling too early is the case. should ferment for 2 weeks before you bottle. i usually ferment for 3 weeks before i bottle mine.

I brewed up a Sierra Nevada Pale Ale clone on the night of 4/17/08. It's now been just shy of 4 days and I dont see any activity on the airlock. I know that this doesnt necessarily mean the yeast isnt working possibly due to air leaking elsewhere but I want to pop it open and give it a visual...

seriously, i did the same thing the other day. i had the yeast in the fridge and i had already started steeping... i just took it out, held it in my hands for a few minutes and shook it around, by the time the wort cooled, the vial was room temp. and guess what, my airlock was bubbling 10 hours...

I also agree with Ma2Brew, I bought 2 of those setups and have done 4 batches since I started approx 1 month ago (also bought an extra glass carboy for primary -- it's fun to sneak a peak at what's going on inside the fermenter.) Although Revvy maybe right about where you can get a chiller...

Hello, Ive brewed a few batches of ales recently and regardless where I store the carboys, it gets pretty warm. I live in Southern California. It's pretty warm, especially lately and it's getting warmer. Unless I crank up the AC all day, i cant get my house much lower than 75. The...

Oh well, maybe i'll film the next one. Anyhow, 20 hours later it's looking healthy.... :mug:

so just basic light inside a house (no sunlight) is bad?

I got my laptop setup already waiting for morning so i can turn on the time lapse at 10sec frames. I will post the fermentation video once it's finished. woot! :ban:

nice. thanks guys. i can always count on this place to get an answer quickly. cheers@!

Hello, Just finished a batch of Hoegaarden Wit and wondering what this is and why it happens. It's like a coagulation of some sort, but I have no clue if it's normal and why... Notice the cloudy layer about 6 inches up off the bottom of the carboy? it goes away, but what is it? is it normal...

Just did a IIPA on 4/3/08, going to transfer to secondary in a few days hopefully... :ban:

phewww... that was tiring! Bottled (95) 12oz'ers...

one batch down, one to go...

cool, sounds good. looks clear, been 12 days, im going to go for it. thanks all. M

Hello, After about 12 years of not brewing any beer, I gave it another shot and brewed 2 batches a few weeks ago. primary fermentation started on 03/19/08 and 8 days later after my hydrometer readings stopped changing, i transferred to a secondary carboy for conditioning. It has now been...

Yes, I was supposed to put the flavoring hops in at 30 minutes and I put them in at 42 minutes. (thinking this may compensate for lost hops that came out with the grains at 42 minutes) Then I added the end hops at 2 minutes. Noob question: what are IBU's and judging by the exclamation, im...

This is the kit: http://***********/recipe/1655.html as stated, i got the grains out after 18 minutes, but the boiling hops also came out early. thanks for the help, i REALLY appreciate your time. Morgan
