Hi all, I was thinking about using my beer fridge as a fermentation chamber for an IPA, probably around 65F. I know lots of y'all do this and was wondering what kind of temps the freezer will see? It's just a basic cheap fridge, and I'd have it on a STC-1000 controller with temp sensor in a...

Thanks for the advice all! Guess I should've expected some flaming, but why not try it? I like hops. Especially their smells. Hop bomb is not unlike what I want to make, I just want it to be mostly an aroma-bomb over a bitter-bomb. If it sucks, I'm only out $25. Yeah, only Cascade was $8...

Just thought I'd explain my setup here, for anyone looking for a similarly simple electric kettle, for the least money and without advanced electrical knowledge. My goal for this project was to brew electric, without using the kitchen, for as cheap as possible, and simple enough that me (a...

So Austin HBS had a sale on Cascade pellet hops, 1lb for $8, so I got this great idea to use a whole pound of hops in a 5 gallon batch. I was imagining something like, just throwing the whole pound in at flameout, or maybe 8oz at 5min, 8oz dry hop, something along those lines. My goal is for a...

Right now, I have the standard dual regulator setup. However, the first regulator is broken and stays wide open. Can I plug the broken regulator into the gas out of regulator two and use it as a splitter?

Hi, So I have a brew logic dual kegging set up. It's been worthless, constantly breaking. For the first year, Midwest kept me running, constantly mailing me new components. Now, my warranty is out. Last week, I brewed, thinking I would just bottle up any leftovers of my Apple ale on kegging...

I would love to hear how you got that as a gift...

This is for an STC 1000, which I got on Amazon for 17$. https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f51/ebay-aquarium-temp-controller-build-163849/ That should get you started... I used a computer power cord and other things from around the house to keep my total budget around $20.

Hi, So I don't post much, but I lurk around on HBT pretty often. If this miscategorized or I should've searched more, feel free to flame. I am making a lager, and I wanted to try krausening it at the end of fermentation instead of a diacetyl rest. After brewing & cooling, I put all but 1.5L...

So I was looking for a good way to estimate volume of wort in the carboy, and didn't find what I was looking for. Most people said go pour water in and make marks but I didn't find any results from that, so I went and did it and here it is. The carboy used for this experiment has an outer...

Hi all, First post here. I've used the forum to answer many of my questions, but this one I can't find an answer to. I am wondering if I could use an air duster to aerate wort. I am imagining a modified tube to get it down into the carboy. Would there be sanitation issues? Is it even oxygen /...
