Just had this built in Turkey for 200 bucks. I have three brews on it in one week. I really cant complain.

The thermometer on the outside is temporary to double check the temp controller.

Currently in east Turkey which made some of the parts hard to come by. A friend hooked up a great freezer that we THOUGHT was 110V. Ordered an STC1000 to build a temp controller and plug it in and nothing. After taking a multimeter to it and taking a look at the compressor I find out that it...

Awesome. I only all grain. It went into the fermenter at 1.064 and is currently sitting a 1.027. Thanks for the info. I will follow up on the results.

I hope you realize that moving to the secondary was for the purpose of harvesting and re-pitching. Removing it from the yeast cake means no yeast..really. Huh learned something new (sarcasm). I don’t have the ability purchase to more yeast in a timely manner. Multiple gravity readings over...

Correct, multiple gravity readings over a few days with no change.

So it looks like I have stuck fermentation (cough, cough- under pitched with no starter). I currently live overseas and it takes weeks to get supplies in. I transferred over to secondary and washed the yeast cake from the primary. It has only been sitting a night. A decent layer of yeast has...

I like what I'm hearing. Thanks.

The tape was the last gravity reading.

Lag time was about 10hrs. I will be letting it sit and hope for the best. Thanks for the input.

No airlock activity. Its been about two weeks since fermentation began. It smells a bit like grapefruit. The first pic is three days ago. The second is today. Beer is an IPA and has been kept at a steady 68 degrees. Dry yeast with no starter was used.
