Minimum order is a 50# sack. They're out of two-row, but it'll be back in stock at the beginning of June. You have to pick up your grain at Blacklands in Leander. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

I just found out about a Texas maltster / malthouse called Blacklands Malt. http://www.blacklandsmalt.com/ They're in Leander, TX. The website says they use Texas grown barley, and they do the malting. I'm inquiring about ordering. I'll let y'all know what I find out.

Anyone planning a brewing get together any time soon? Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Cypress Grape & Grain is actually on 249 in Tomball. It's a small place. The guy says he's planning to add more. I think he recently added more grains and a mill.

Just saw a new homebrew shop opened in NW Houston/Tomball/Cypress area: Cypress Grape and Grain. I haven't been yet, but just wanted to give the heads up.

I searched a few other threads on similar questions, but I didn't see a clear answer. I'm brewing a strong scotch ale (OG 1.084). I have a vial of WLP028 with ~50% viability. Based on yeastcalc.com I need about 315 billion cells. A 5L starter would get me pretty close 286B. Or I can do...

I finished up my keezer and go it up and running with a keg of Janet's Brown Ale and a 1/6 barrel of Alaskan Amber from Spec's (I have a sanke coupler). Fermented the Janet's at 65F in my keezer/fermentation chamber. It's early but it tastes great.

I ordered another STC-1000 to control the aquarium heater.

You're probably correct. I wasn't positive the Love could do what I want. You are correct about how I need it to work and needing two probes. I am running it right now with the STC-1000 set at 7C and I have set the aquarium heater at 65 and that works and I set it at 80 and that works. So...

People do run light bulbs in keezers believe it or not, but that doesn't solve my problem. My problem is not being able to control the heat below 65F. The aquarium heater has a built in thermostat that goes down to 65F. The light bulb would have no temp control.

Thanks for the replies. My setup is one chest freezer with no partition. I'm using it as a keezer and ferm chamber at the same time. When I'm fermenting, I put the carboy in the keezer in a larger bucket with water surrounding the carboy and an aquarium heater in the water, like a reverse...

I'm finishing up my keezer / fermentation chamber, and I just figured out that the aquarium heater only goes down to 65F. I'm running the freezer with an STC-1000. So, I'll only be able to ferment at 65F and above, or the keg temp (~40F). I did some research, and it seems a Love controller...

Thanks. Good to know about Professional Welding in Tomball. I found another place called Technical Alloy & Industrial Gas near 249 & Beltway. CO2 and propane at good prices. I got my keezer / fermentation chamber in working condition. I have a few tweaks I want to make but she'll get the job...

Where do y'all get your propane and CO2 filled? I saw the thread saying Katy Butane/Propane, Defalcos, Beverage Barn and Texas Homebrewers. Anything closer to Cypress/Tomball?

It sounds like we're on the same page.

I'm currently converting a chest freezer into a combo keezer/fermentation chamber. It's a used freezer I found on craigslist. I built a little 2-plug control box with a project box and an STC-1000. I'm adding a 1x8 cherry collar and starting with two taps. I'm going to attach the collar to the...

This is a partial tangent, but I've been thinking I would like to put together a Christian homebrew club. But the idea is to have a group of folks that are Christian homebrewers and homebrewers who are interested in brewing with some Christians. Moderation will be a core value. Another core...

I'd be interested in meeting up in the Cy-Fair / Tomball area. Has there been any progress in getting the Cy-Fairmenters going?

It's pretty awesome they posted these. I respect that. I'll buy more.

My understanding is there are two thermostats: one for turning the compressor on and off and one for opening and closing a damper. Not sure if they'd both have the coarse adjustment screw.
