So, I just got my STC-1000 wired up in my old chest freezer. Everything works as it should, it kicks the heat on, and the freezer on when it should. Ive been wathching it all day today as ive ben working out in the garage, the air temp in the garage is roughly 60 degrees. I have the controller...

I see on the spec sheet it say 32 degrees is on the bottom of its operating range. I plan on leaving my ferm chamber in my garage where it can dip below zero in the winter. I need to lnow if its ok to mount externally, otherwise i will put it a box and moint the whole thing inside the chamber.

I was at my LBHS today and the girl behind the counter had a tattoo of a pint of beer on her arm, and one other time a guy had a hop cone on his leg. I thought they were both cool, but then again I don't mind tattoos. Do any of you people have a beer or brewing related tattoo?

I just picked this up last night, its a 50s era hotpoint fridge. I think it was once an apartment fridge, its 24" x24" x 55". I paid $40 for it, and have yet to confirm it actually works. The owner got it out of his cabin and said it does. Even if it doesnt i may have it repaired because i like...

Curious if anyone uses these guys? Seems interesting, so I was just wondering if anyone had used em and what they thought...

I have several first year plants growing now, I'm wondering when I need to start trimming them? One of my plants has about 7 shoots coming out of the ground, maybe 3" tall on average. They seem to have shot up to that height quick, but have kind of been stagnant there for the last week and a...

And he told me I should only primary in a glass carboy, not a bucket. he continued to tell me how I couldnt be making good beer only doing a primary fermentation, and I should be pulling the beer off the yeast cake after two weeks. I typically leave my beer in primary for anywhere between 3...

Wish me luck, i live in a rural town, i have a two acre yard, and a spot with plenty of southern exposure. Being that weve had weather in the 80s already in minnesota, Ill be planting these as soon as they arrive.

Would this be ok or is there too much headspace?

I always wanted to try, but once my wife got pregnant I needed another hobby to take place of my much more expensive, and time consuming hobby car resto/customizing. So whats your story?

Ok so I decided, after a year and some change of extract brewing, that I would finally jump to all grain. I decided the BIAB method seemed like an easy way to jump in and get a feel for it. Im doing a 2.5 gallon batch of surly bender clone (brown ale) Got all my stuff ready. Got...

Whats the best commercial coffee beer you've ever had? Ive had a number of different ones, but I must say that Surly coffe bender is by my favorite. I also love breakfast stout.:cross:

Im picking up a turkey fryer, and im wondering if i can cram a 5 gallon BIAB batch in a 7.5 gal kettle, or if i should just suck it up and get a 10 gallon kettle or keggle?

I take mine anywhere between 2 to 4 weeks in. Usually 3 or 4 weeks. My last couple batches have been at around 6 weeks.

Im wondering exactly how big or small I should go as far as exactly what equipment I should start acquiring. I am undecided if I should start with the bare minimum, or if I should just bite it and start to build a big three kettle brew stand? My line of thought is that, if im gonna just...

So my wife gave me the ok to build a small room in the basement that I can brew in, with the stipulation she can use it for cake decorating too. It's going to be rather cozy at roughly 15' × 10', so space is limited. I still do extract, but all grain is on the horizon. Looking for any advice...

I'm just curios how much everyone else drinks on a daily basis? I usually only knock back a pint a day, couple on Friday and Saturday.

Blech, I sure hope it gets better. Its only been in the primary 9 days though, and I gotta dry hop still. It's my first IPA so i don't know how they progress.

I gotta try this stuff, so I was wondering if anyone wanted to work a trade, I can get lots of midwest brews, Surly, Summit, Schells, New glarus, founders, theres many others Im missing here, but someone let me know if you would want to work a trade out?

I brewed this today, seems like it will be good, very hoppy, anyone have any experience with this one? I'm curious how close to the real thing it is.
