ok sounds good , thanks !

Folks, my basement is too hot to ferment this strain but I have a temperature controlled wine cellar that's within 60 to 62 degrees. I know this is below the recommended range for this strain but I'm itching to make a Belgium Witbier which I was hoping to brew a month ago but life got in the...

ok that's what I'm thinking. Just weird that I couldn't find anyone that tried it on this forum, it would seem like a good mod. I'll give it shot and post my results.

Folks, I'm thinking about replacing the thermostat on my Sanyo so I can dial in temp a little better. At the surface I thought I could use a standard house digital thermostat and somehow wire that in. Can this be done ?

ok that's it ! I'm bringing a case of Coors light.

OK thanks I just googled the flare connector ;I just didn't know what to call it and found it at Midwest. Thanks for the safety tip; sounds like something to send the Mythbusters.

Folks, I just bought a portable CO2 charger and it has a threaded connection. My ball lock has a barbed connector, can someone tell me how to adapt the barb to the thread. It looks like it was meant to fit a Shrader valve.

Thanks a million; I'm going to remove the airlock and replace it with a napkinn - what a mess !

Thanks Yooper, is there any chance of infection with Wine or is that a "beer" thing ? BTW, this is a varietation of your Welch's Grape Wine.... Thanks for the quick response !

ok if this was beer I'd attach a blow off tube but I'm not sure what do. My first batch of wine (well EdWort's Apfelwein is really my first) is fermenting like crazy (Primary) and I have an airlock on it filled with Vodka. That's not working out so well, so I was thinking of attaching a blow off...

Well it's a big beer and it sounds like you're a little high for the style. My last RIP was 1.091 and ended at 1.022, so it may have had a bit to go. Per Beer smith the FG range is between 1.018 and 1.034. Sounds like they're bottled, I never toss beer unless it's foul tasting, maybe keep them...

10389.5 + 5 = 10394.5

Welcome ! try using the glass carboy for your primary. It's way easier to clean, plus you can watch your brew ferment. You may want to use a blow off tube however. This site has tons of useful info, you'll be hooked :)

yup, I'll post once it's ready. Going to follow the clone recipe exactly to baseline it. I'll let you know how it came; I'm going to keg this one. Have to wait until next weekend though; I couldn't score hersbrucker hops at my LHBS.

thanks guys... orfy, it calls for 6 oz of cane sugar...
