Seems like a lot of guys here are building or using controllers just to BIAB? To me the logical progression would be to get out of the bag.. then think about going electric and getting into controllers. Am I missing something?

First and foremost, thank you TxBrew and everyone at HBT! A homebrewer's dream come true! :rockin: When I got my homebrewtalk.com sticker in the mail, I didn't know what to do with it. I figured it would be perfect for something so I saved it....

EDIT! Nostalgia pointed out a much better easier way to do this. I haven't had time to try it as I recently moved. Its as simple as creating a dropbox account. Copying and pasting your entire beersmith folder into drop box and then running the executable file from there. When I...

This just is a rant because I am a little perturbed. Looking for some validation that I am not wrong here. First off, I have 4 LHBS that are all about equidistant away and I try to frequent them all because I want them all to stick around. They are all valuable to me because they are...

Going to man up this evening and hop in the freezer for a deep bleach clean. After a good amount of time my freezer gets reallllly nasty. The walls of the freezer where the coils are get a lot of condensation, which collects at the bottom of the freezer. This over time creates a reallly...
