Santa surprised me and brought a Blichmann 14.5 Conical Fermentor. Legs, wheels, the whole shebang. It's my first conical, and well, I'm most impressed. Leg extensions: Bless her heart SWMBO, but I don't think I need the leg extensions. Should I keep them, or return them to the LHBS?

I inherited an old POS fridge this past weekend. The door seals are not great, but it makes cold air and was free, so I can't complain. I'm now using it as a fermentation chamber. I didn't have any spare A419's laying around to control the temps, but I do have a linux server, a DS18S20, one...

Hi. The last kid moved out last fall (off to UF) so we're empty nesters. With all this extra space (and much less mess) we decided to make a New Year's resolution: brew at least one batch of beer. We did that on Jan 6, and we're brewing batch #7 this weekend. :) Our first batch was a Bass Ale...
