I've got a wine fridge that I'm going to use as a fermentation chamber with my Johnson Controls A19 controller. I'm going to put the controller outside the fridge, but I'm not sure how to run the copper probe wire into the fridge. If it was rubber coated, I'd just slide it through the open door...

Here are a few pictures of my first year Cascades. There's some browning on the tips, and part of the cones are starting to turn yellow from green. A little bit papery. I dont think I'm a good judge of if it springs back or not. A good amount of lupulin and they smell great. Should I harvest or...

I'm converting a bottom freezer/ top refrigerator into a kegerator, and was wondering what people think of as the ideal faucet height from the floor? I searched all over and couldn't find any threads on it (most are on faucet height relative to kegs). Since the fridge is on top, I don't have...

I'm building my first kegerator, and I can't find the answer to a few questions on here. I have a 20lb co2 tank that I want to keep on the outside of the kegerator. My regulator setup is a dual primary setup, with PSI limit of 2000. My plan was to run a line from the tank through a small hole...

I'm building my first kegerator, and I bought some seemingly standard size parts: a 1/4" barbed tail piece for the shank and 3/16" Bev-Seal tubing. When they arrived at my house, I realized that I'm an idiot and they don't fit together because of the size difference. Has anybody else had this...

Any thoughts on the below recipe? I'm going for a drinkable Rye Pale Ale. I've never used Rye, though I like Rye beers (especially Cane & Ebel). Most of the ones I've tried are higher ABV beers, but I thought I'd go for an easy drinking one since summer is coming. Is that enough crystal to...

I’m planning on putting a hop trellis in my backyard in the Chicago suburbs. I've got 4 rhizomes coming from Farmhouse Brewing Supply: Hallertau, Centennial, Cascade, Willamette. The space is 5’ x 7.5’ (the staked out area in the picture below), most likely. So far I’ve purchased an 8’ Red Cedar...

I'm planning on doing my first SMaSH, a 3 gallon Munich Simcoe. Below is the recipe. A few questions... 1. Thoughts on a good mash temp for Munich? I was thinking single infusion at 150. 2. The Munich is 9L and from Canadian Malting Company. Is this technically "Light Munich"? I've read a ton...

I just got a 3 gallon carboy that I plan on using to make some 2.5 gallon batches of either experimental beers or high gravity beers. I've only made 5 gallon, non-high gravity beers over the last few years, so I have a couple questions: 1) For 5 gallon batches, I usually use a traditional 6+...

My first post.... Below is a Brown Ale recipe using mostly leftover ingredients from my last few brews. Any thoughts? Too much special roast? Not enough Crystal? Awful hops for this style? I know the hops aren't normal for this style, but it isn't going to be that hoppy anyways (I do have one...
