I researched a lot, and was a bit worried about cutting the wires, but installing my temperature controller took about 5 minutes once I got to it. The fermentor/kegerator I have is a Kenmore 5.7' model, no ice compartment, its part number is 9588. This model has a digital display on the front...

That looks spot on to what Kirk McHale originally brewed, he invented the Chronic (although, I think he used a few of hemp seed). Btw, Humbolt Hemp Ale is still brewed and bottled, it is a bit darker but very similar. I think he did that one too. Your recipe looks great.

How do you guys get oxygen into the wort? Seems like everyone is shying away from just stirring it (with a spoon) in the ice bath. That has worked fine here. Recently, picked up a 02 canister from Lowes and fitted it to aerate my yeast starter, thinking about using it on the wort too. The...

Hey Derek, I've tried this a couple of times (and am about ready to try it again): http://hopville.com/recipe/1051354/extra-special-strong-bitter-english-pale-ale-recipes/chronic-pale-ale-ii...

Great link(s) Humann_brewing, thank you very much. The Link to Mission St well documents the podcast, the podcast is well worth the listen (pretty hilarious, I'll be looking for more of their work). Off to the Trader's!

This thread looks pretty dead, but anyways let's see if anyone is out there... Firestone Pale is a favorite session beer of mine too, comparable to Sierra Nevada, but better in my opinion. There is a big difference between Firestone Pale, which they brew under different labels for different...
