I have a keg waiting for this treatment myself. Are we supposed to drill holes in the bottom ring, before putting it over heat?

It's all good. Had to crack a bottle early. It's under carbed, primed with table sugar, but I couldn't wait! Closest beer I've ever had to a cappuccino!

I have found a couple of places with code that can be applied. reflow ovens and sous vie cookers. pwm needs to be slow for best control of a volume of water.

After active fermentation for 5 days at 64-65 f there is no activity. Turned the fridge up to 67 this morning. Current temp is 65.3 f. There's only a tiny heating element in there. Just sampled for a gravity reading. OG 1.059 Current 1.021 Tastes great flat. The original description...

Might be worth the experiment of learning to pasteurize. Thanks!

Thanks! I'll give this a shot once I get to kegging.

I'm thinking of giving this a try. It seems fast and easy. I'm going to do a small batch, 2 gals in a small carboy and bottle it up to carb. Should work right? I don't have kegs...yet. This should get something in the pipeline while I wait for my cream stout.

I am interested in this as well. Nice build on the e-brewery! I bought a couple of the same relays years ago and haven't built anything with them yet! I like the look of the remote interface for your chamber temps as well. Have you seen brew pi? I have that running now. Built a while ago...

I'm interested. I have Brewpi running the fermentation chamber. I bought a couple of relays, but I have not programmed anything for them yet.

Just brewed this up last night. I also used Irish Ale yeast Wyeast 1084. http://imgur.com/a/JBiYQ

Then there's the heat stick. I just built a smaller element version, super easy. I used JB Water Weld to make it watertight. Combined with the cook top it should be boil. I'm going to throw a higher wattage stick together next and take the whole operation to the basement. But, I'm...

Aarong, Very cool. Thanks for the supper simple version to create the venturi effect. I'm going to throw one of those tees on after my counterflow chiller and see how it works. Have you seen the wortwizard? Which seems similar to this. People are using the venturi effect with the force...

Thanks! Nice article. I look forward my own first year. Today is day 6. Maybe I won't bottle that first batch tomorrow after all.
