For your consideration is a MoreBeer flat brew sculpture from circa 2012. Posted with pix on craigslist at https://newyork.craigslist.org/wch/for/6258745729.html. For reference the current version is here: https://www.morebeer.com/products/rider-brewsculpture-v4.html You can brew 10-gallon...

Is the Therm Wrap inside the fridge? If so I'd expect you'd need a two-stage controller: http://morebeer.com/view_product/16664/102282/Ranco_Digital_Two-Stage_Temperature_Controller_-_Wired

Man, I gave up on tunes while brewing. Propane burners are too loud! Congrats on the AG.

Ya know, this is the conclusion I drew, too. So much has been written and, frankly, technique is more important than theory for where I'm at, anyway. Thanks for the feedback.

I'm with you @sacdan, I wanna know the science. Methinks I'll float a test balloon with SWMBO...maybe I'll see you there.

I'm not looking for a job in the industry (yet). I'm squarely in hobby mode, albeit passionate. I have a day job that I'm committed to for now. But, dammit, I want the time, money, and energy spent to stop yielding stuff that isn't fairly decent most of the time. The occasional f-up is...

About four years, off and on. Results have followed a solid bell curve: a few standouts, a few throwaways, and a whole lot of in-between stuff that I can't quite throw out but am not quite proud of. I'd like to get the quality up but am not sure how. Reckon seeing and learning from someone else...

Hi, all, Lately I've been looking at the UC Davis brewing program. I'm lucky enough to be within easy driving distance and have the time and inclination to enroll in one of their programs. I want to get better at brewing, period. They have a weekend-long 'Going Beyond the Kit' program...

I did. Just killed the keg. I must've messed something up because it came out harsh and green, even after plenty of conditioning. My judging skills are still developing, but I'd guess from the literature that it was acetaldehyde. Or astringency. Or an infection. At times it was okay. Others it...

I share the concern: urge for craft beer research at war with urge for healthy. I ride road and MTB anywhere from four to six hours a week and observe a quasi-primal diet, including fasting. Sounds like others are similarly mindful of diet and exercise. Would I like to drop those last five...

Glad to hear it. Your brew stands look sweet!

Hey, Kurt. I'll look for ya out front :) No, I didn't go to WBF and I'm kicking myself for it. Am going to SF beer week opener next Friday, though and looking forward to it. Beer week's gonna be fun, except for my liver. You going to anything?

Thanks, tr. You're right: in the few hours since the first post there's now definitive activity. Guess it was another case of impatience...
