I am going to brew this beer tonight.

We sous vide everything - ham, pork loin, pork chops, briskette, steaks, etc. It's a fantastic way to prepare meat. I finish these meats off (searing) in a BBQ or in an oven on high broil. There are sous vide temp guides on the Internet. 130F min for beef, 145+F for pork. These guides...

Has anyone cloned Phillips Brewing's Superpower clone ? https://www.phillipsbeer.com/the-beers/superpower "Super power is a super charged hop-bomb, that is well balanced and smooth thanks to the addition of oats, wheat, and corn. The 4 different hop formats in this beer, cryo-hops, CO2 hop...

Update Rather than mess around with the low profile blowoff tube, I sold that fridge and bought a different one.

@Knightshade The setup in the attached image would work great. Where did you find it ? It turns out that fitting is used with the Brewjacket Immersion Pro chilling system. https://www.homebrewwest.ie/brewjacket-adjusted-lid-for-fermonster-7792-p.asp Where can I buy that elbow by itself ...

Yes, 1/2" between the top of an undrilled lid and the ceiling of the fridge. No airlock. So I'll need to use a blowoff tube of some sort and a jar that acts as the air lock. Unless I drill a hole in the top of the fridge for the airlock to stick out of ? Are there freon tubes in the top...

I bought an Igloo Frw482c wine fridge to use as a fermentation chamber. It holds a 7 gallon Fermonster without modification but there is less than 1/2" clearance between the lid and the ceiling of the fridge. How do I make a really low profile blow off tube for this setup ? 2 pieces of...

OT: do you have a thread or video on your setup ? What is your typical batch size ?

Does anyone know of a stand alone (DIN mount) PID controller that has a serial port or WiFi ? Thanks

What harm would there be to letting it sit on the trub ?

Wow, 10 years! That is pretty impressive. Thanks for sharing this. I want to do something similar. What are you storing your banked yeasts in ? How are you ensuring the storage container is sterile ? Are you freezing your yeasts or storing at a low temp ?

Would it fit on a shelf above the step if you removed the air lock ? Would you still need the collar ?

Here is what a Danby 3.2 looks like for height. A 7 gallon Fermonster Big Mouth is about 22 inches tall with the lid on, without an air lock. Edit: this says 20.9 inches. https://www.morebeer.com/products/fermonster-carboy-7-gal-spigot.html My 7 gallon fermenter is 21 1/4" to the top of the...

There are 2 common sizes 3.2 and 4.4 cu ft. What size are yours ? Are you setting the fermenter right on the bottom or above the shelf ? Thanks for the reply.
