I searched but found older versions and old threads. I have the a19aat. Is it as simple as plugging the power cord of the fridge into corc of temp controller and somehow getting temperature probe in the fridge? Then mounting the actual controller somewhere outside of he fridge on a flat...

4 total, all extract with specialty grains. No lagers yet. But I want to... 3 five gallon 1 1 gallon... No AG's yet either.... But makes me very curious about doing one

Anyone use the little nylon bags for your hops during the boil? I do. Wondering if they work as well, taste wise. Beer has no issues with crap in fermenters though... I also throw in the 2nd hops in the same bag, they all fluff up pretty nicely, :mug: I think they are awesome....

Irish moss added to a witbier boil? Bad? Looks very clear, of course. Smells normal, color is ok, taste is good, a little coriander hanging around, but other than that. OG/fgs were in range. Tasted sample today, day 11 in fermenter. I also used a secondary, yes I know, not needed. I was...

The pipeline or fridge is getting full. Looking to make something that is high gravity, BUT not sweet. Not into fruity beers either. What I do like is a oatmeal stout. What would someone suggest in a recipe, top to bottom, but not all grain. Not quite there yet, closer to an extract with...

How to tell how much is left in it? No freeze that I can see, feeling lighter also. But there is some in it, I can hear it and feel it when I shake it. Help?

Can't wait to drink it :mug:

2 weeks in primary/secondary, 1 week in keg, not too bad considering. A little lite on the carbonation but fairly close to the fat tire it was supposed to be cloned after. :mug: Thanks for all the help, some of the tips I've read here will help on the next brews for sure. Never realized...

Thinking of adding a little something to this oatmeal stout? Nothing crazy, just boost the alc content without affecting taste. Any ideas of how to do this without affecting anything or has worked well for anyone? Help a noob out please. If this is a bad idea, say so. DO NOT want to jack it...

Not too bad at all. Brewed a fat tire clone the 26th of Dec and kegged a couple days ago. Not quite where I hope it will be but other than aftertaste it's pretty good. Not quite carbonated either.... Hoping it's good soon of course, I might have to kick the neighbors dog or something if it...

I'Ve been tasting my samples and and SO happy that today, only 2 weeks and 1 day from boil day and a sample taste pretty good.... Very happy at the moment. I assume that just means good things for a couple weeks from now??? I know, I know, I'm so impatient. Already have batch 2 in primary...

my first try at flat tire from Midwest. Did my best to follow directions as written. Checked the OG and fg and they are in range. Decided to taste the sample and can't describe the taste????? Not a good one to me, not fat tire yet that's for sure. 2 weeks today since brew day... Maybe just a...

Brewed last night and everything went pretty smooth. Decided to throw the priming sugar in the boil as I was hoping to up alcohol level instead of wasting it since I keg. Bubbling really nice in primary but has a nice banana smell coming from airlock. I simply leaned close and smelled it...

is there still a need to wait the 2 weeks, etc?????// whats actually happening at this time?

ok, noobie here first of all and first brew ever, so bear with me, lol. brewed and waited the 2 weeks, all went well, no issues. then decided to bottle yesterday. decided to go with mason jars, seemed cheap easy and plentiful at a local store and had a little coolness factor i guess. well...
