Yes Please!

Don't think I entered yet.... So please and thank you

Ok, hasn't paid off yet. But I can't Winn without posting.

Again, thanks!

How about mash and ferm temps? I'm entering this into Beersmith. The title "BadDeacon's Widowmaker clone". Though I will be using Breiss Midnight Wheat vs the Black.

Thanks for the response! I'll add this to the long list of must brews!

Well? How did this last batch compare? I hadn't thought to try and clone this, but I do enjoy it. The only way I get it is to take the one hour trip over to Wisconsin. Sorry to say the don't distribute to MN.

I wonder if the OP is ever coming back to this thread, or brewing for that matter....... Best I can tell, he was last here on sept. 11th. He did say he was busy with life. I'll just be patient and wait for his results.

I thought the same thing but didn't really look to close. If that's the case you can get one of these on eBay for $11-$12 with free shipping. I ordered one the other day. That site is a good source for replacement thermistors though.

One problem you may have is that your diagram shows that your fridge uses a PTC thermistor. The STC-1000 uses a NTC. My understanding is they aren't interchangeable.

Your home made thermowell looks great. Here is a link to some probes that should work to replace the one that came with it. Not all on this page will work. The ones labeled 10K ohm would be the ones your looking for as far as I can tell.

Worked fine for me. Thanks!

I know many people prefer allgrain, but I've had extract beer that's superior to many of the Allgrains. A member of our local club brews almost exclusively extract. He creates/formulates his own recipes and makes some of the best home brew I've had. I haven't tasted the twang everybody talks...

I was going to suggest a light bulb also. Try turning on the light in your oven. That little bulb (usually around 40w) will heat up the oven over 100*. A paint can heater is in escence an can of some sort over a light bulb connected to a controller. The can create a thermal mass and blocks the...

Amazing prizes! I'm in

I'm in.

Why not just get a thermometer and play around with the settings until you find what gives you the proper temps? Its not like a freezer where you need a controller to keep it from freezing. I'm assuming you are using it for lagering. I did that with my garage fridge and it worked well. Perhaps...

Well it don't cost to enter so why not

Well, you didn't include that bit of info to begin with. :p I guess as long as they appear to be unchanged during that time it may be safe. Not sure I'd use it but that's just me.

I'm no expert, but I have six jars of washed yeast that have been in the fridge for almost a year now. None of them have chunks. They are starting to appear a little gray so I've probably gotta dump them. I used one a week or so ago and it made a nice starter, but I'm not sure how long I want...
