Looking for a little help with this recipe. I brewed the original version a couple of years ago. I've been rereading this thread and was about to brew it again adding Vienna to the bill. Just went to my lhbs and they were almost out of flaked corn, had just shy of 0.5 lb. I bumped up the amount...

Yeah, finding black is not easy. It looks like my Kenmore (a few years old) was 18702 and I replaced it with Frigidaire FFFC07M1QW. They are exact matches. Good luck.

I just recently had the same issue with a Kenmore (Sears) chest freezer that was about 3 years old. I installed the "hard start" kit from Amazon and that didn't help. The compressor ran continuously it just wouldn't cool down. I was pretty bummed that I might have to rebuild my entire collar...

So I finally finished my kezzer build late last year. (I modeled it after GrainToGlass's build and posted mine in his build thread https://www.homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?t=515869&page=3 ). We recently moved across the county and used a moving service. The keezer seemed to arrive...

So I think maybe the freezer itself isn't working correctly. After a few days the temperature still wasn't dropping so I took everything out of the freezer, unhooked it from the temp controller and it just plugged it up as a stand alone freezer. After running for 24 hours the temp inside the...

Just for clarification I'm not currently using it as a keezer, strictly as a fermentation chamber. But I did not pre-chill the chamber before I put the fermenters in there. That makes total sense but didn't occur to me at the time.

I recently moved to a much warmer climate leaving behind a house with a basement perfect for fermentation. The new place has no basement so a ferm chamber is in my future. To get me through I brewed a couple batches and am using my currently empty keezer as a ferm chamber. Its a 7.2 cu. ft...

Thanks for all the feedback, looks like Im almost equal distance between HBHQ and Dallas HB. Guess I will just have to check them both out! (And yes, it is crazy out there in this housing market. We were 1 of 15 offers this house got the first 24 hours it was on the market and we upped our...

We managed to snag a house in the Carrollton area. We have a few more weeks before we close but ready to get settled and start brewing!

Thanks everybody! Excited to learn the area.

There has never been a more true statement!

Thanks for the info!

Hey guys! My wife and I are in the process of moving from Kentucky to the Dallas, TX area (following a job). We are currently in a temporary corporate apartment in Plano while we house hunt. My wife's office will be in Plano so we will likely end up somewhere between there and Dallas (if we can...
