I used the temperature controller I built for my freezer, but I used the heat side on my 'dumb crockpot'. It has high/low/warm/off. I set to high, put the sealed prime rib in at 130 and let it roll for several hours. Broil in oven or sear on kamado grill at around 700 to finish.

I would love the recipe for these! They look tasty!

I brewed an Irish Red a month or so back, and the whole kit was 4 years old! I got new yeast and hops of course, but it came out so dark, you couldn't see light through the glass. Good, but---chewy. Won't do that again. Just my .02
