UPDATE: Super Kleer KC worked LIKE A CHARM! VERY happy with this magical shell fish goo. Highly recommended! Screw filtering! Clarifying agents are the way to go... cheap, fast, easy, and EFFECTIVE!

You guys are the best!! Thanks for the wisdom. UPDATE: I went to my LHBS, got some Super Kleer KC and dumped that in. We'll see what happens later today... ...from there, I'll just force carb the ****er and be done with it. (till next party) Filtering setup: worst $130 ever spent.

Ok, I've got a party in 3 days with a group of people very eager to drink my finest beer. Trouble is, I have 3 kegs that haven't had enough time to brighten up. So I went out and bought a GE water filter with a 5 micron filter (FXWTC I believe is the model number) and built something that...

Ah yes, my bad... I meant TSS2 2100. It says dual stage, and I understand that controls two seperate outputs (such as cooling and heat) but I'm wondering if I can also be wired to control two seperate environments?

I'm trying to control two envrionments... I'm not sure if this controller will work or not.

Sorry, I hope the images scale right and don't **** up this thread... :/

Hey all, Here's the goal: I want a dual temperature fermentation chamber. In other words, I want to be able to set one part of the chamber to be lager temp (33-55ish) and set the other to be ale temp (50-80ish). I looked at this thread...

Hey all, I just bought a fridge off CL to attempt this build. It's an older model and it appears to only have one electronic temperature control. The freezer temp is controlled by a manual wheel that dilates how much air can pass between the freezer and the fridge. I'm wondering if I'm...

I made an IIPA with a SG of 1070. I used CA V yeast that I washed from a previous brew. When I washed the yeast, I ended up with 6oz mason jars with about half an inch of the stuff on the bottom. I warmed up the mason jars of yeast to room temp, decanted the beer, and pitched into the IIPA...

I want it!

Hey everybody, So an update on my frakenbrew: It's come out pretty nice!! I used windsor ale yeast because of it's low attenuation. SG: 1055, FG: 1012. Good body, super sweet, but unique sour caramel-like flavor. It tastes like some form of bastard soda from the 1920s... some old elixir...

qhrumphf, I think you've found the source of the problem! I do use brewing software, and that was a particularly heavy on the specialty grains recipe. Next time I'll do the partial-mash-in-the-oven technique to make sure all the grains convert.

boiled for 90 minutes to have a clearer bitter+flavor+aroma hop separation. I guess this was a problem of putting the water over the wort and it not mixing fully... but I've NEVER had that problem before... hhmmm....
