We sous vide everything - ham, pork loin, pork chops, briskette, steaks, etc. It's a fantastic way to prepare meat. I finish these meats off (searing) in a BBQ or in an oven on high broil. There are sous vide temp guides on the Internet. 130F min for beef, 145+F for pork. These guides...

Has anyone cloned Phillips Brewing's Superpower clone ? https://www.phillipsbeer.com/the-beers/superpower "Super power is a super charged hop-bomb, that is well balanced and smooth thanks to the addition of oats, wheat, and corn. The 4 different hop formats in this beer, cryo-hops, CO2 hop...

Update Rather than mess around with the low profile blowoff tube, I sold that fridge and bought a different one.

@Knightshade The setup in the attached image would work great. Where did you find it ? It turns out that fitting is used with the Brewjacket Immersion Pro chilling system. https://www.homebrewwest.ie/brewjacket-adjusted-lid-for-fermonster-7792-p.asp Where can I buy that elbow by itself ...

Yes, 1/2" between the top of an undrilled lid and the ceiling of the fridge. No airlock. So I'll need to use a blowoff tube of some sort and a jar that acts as the air lock. Unless I drill a hole in the top of the fridge for the airlock to stick out of ? Are there freon tubes in the top...

I bought an Igloo Frw482c wine fridge to use as a fermentation chamber. It holds a 7 gallon Fermonster without modification but there is less than 1/2" clearance between the lid and the ceiling of the fridge. How do I make a really low profile blow off tube for this setup ? 2 pieces of...

OT: do you have a thread or video on your setup ? What is your typical batch size ?

Does anyone know of a stand alone (DIN mount) PID controller that has a serial port or WiFi ? Thanks

What harm would there be to letting it sit on the trub ?

Wow, 10 years! That is pretty impressive. Thanks for sharing this. I want to do something similar. What are you storing your banked yeasts in ? How are you ensuring the storage container is sterile ? Are you freezing your yeasts or storing at a low temp ?

Would it fit on a shelf above the step if you removed the air lock ? Would you still need the collar ?

Here is what a Danby 3.2 looks like for height. A 7 gallon Fermonster Big Mouth is about 22 inches tall with the lid on, without an air lock. Edit: this says 20.9 inches. https://www.morebeer.com/products/fermonster-carboy-7-gal-spigot.html My 7 gallon fermenter is 21 1/4" to the top of the...

There are 2 common sizes 3.2 and 4.4 cu ft. What size are yours ? Are you setting the fermenter right on the bottom or above the shelf ? Thanks for the reply.

Subject says it all. I'd like to buy a mini fridge for use as a fermentation chamber. The ones I see for sale locally are all 3.2 cu ft. Danby, Hamilton Beach, etc. They all look the same. The freezer compartment appears to be easily removable. I'm not sure if there will be enough height...

"You definitely want to unwind it to a long straight shape" Copper work hardens. My coil has probably already been straightened and rolled into its current form. It would be dicey to unroll it and re roll it. What are the chances of sliding hose over the coil without unrolling it ?

I recently came to own an immersion chiller. It is 18 wraps of 3/8" tubing. I'm guessing 50 feet of tubing. I have a plate chiller but dislike it because it is very prone to plug. I'm not a fan of immersion chillers. I'd love to have a tubing type counterflow chiller. How difficult would...

Thanks for the tips. Very interesting about the amylase. I happen to have some on hand. I'll add it to my currently stuck fermentation and see what happens. I often ferment will a less attenutive yeast for its flavor profile, hoping to pitch a second yeast later on to get it dry. This...

I do a lot of reiterative mashes for high gravity brews. 1.080 to 1.120. I always have trouble getting them to ferment dry - less than 1.020. What are the secrets to getting high gravity worts to ferment dry ? I've tried repitching stalled worts to get them drier, never with any success...

Turns out the 2019 version uses Carafa-2.
