For the ozone kit you can get a super cheap one for only 200 - 300$ Ozone Generator Models - Mold-Kill.com If you want to completely kill the smell though using one of these you may need the 400 - 800$ ones.

Oh lol. the red black and green tape on the yellow bucket you see are there just to tell me what hose goes to what carboy. I dropped the glue from the original setup and now use larger hoses than just pinch over the plastic air release valves. its relaxing to watch foam fill up the carboy when...

Ok. Its not really a cute fancy name but as I was pouring my ingred into the fermentation bucket my cat walked by all happy and.. splash. Her tail got right in the path of my pouring. I dont exactly want to toss the batch because it took so damn long and its just the tip of the tail...

Ferments Saflager s-23 Characteristics: Genuin bottom fermenting commercial yeast. Sedimentation high. Final gravity: medium. Temperature range: 11-24C ( 51-75F) Ideally 11-15C (51-59F) I got it because I wanted to try cold beer brewing like ice brewing and they told me this was the best for...
