I have a show mead I just racked over to secondary made with 5 lbs. Buckwheat Honey and 8 lbs. Wildflower Honey fermented with Red Star Pasteur Blanc.

Final pics Well the controller is now up, running and controlling the temp like a champ. That's the fridge plugged into the Cool side and I have a large Heating Pad plugged into the Heat side. I set the Temperature to 20.0 dC (68 dF) and the difference to +/- 0.5 degrees C and I...

This is actually my first thread on here :rockin: I have seen numerous plans on the internet for these and have adapted this one from several of them. Since I’m using a refrigerator that won’t always be full of fermenting wort I’ve added a bypass switch to allow the fridge to...

Love to have one. An easier better way to clean carboys? What brewer wouldn't!
