Tons of good info for you in this thread: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?t=500037

That's an option I've considered, but I'd really like to find a new thermocouple/temp sensor that reaches the bottom of the thermowell, is 1/2" NT, and has the same 4 wire QD if I can.

Not exactly an electric brewing question, but figured this section would probably be the best place to ask. I've been using the Tower of Power to heat and maintain temps in my HLT for a while now. I've recently upgraded my HLT to one that has a 4" thermowell though. I'm afraid the short...

No thread for Huna day yet? I'm sitting at a dead stop on I75 on my way to Tampa as I type this. Who else is gonna be around this week?

Wow, sparked a bit of interest I see. The Sigmund Voss is definitely it. Thanks everybody!

Bare with me here, I know I have hardly no details, hopefully someone else remembers this though and can help me out... Read a story a year or two back about someone in Europe (I want to say Holland, but I may be making that up.) Had isolated a yeast strain that was performing remarkably...

Anyone heard any news?

Aright guys, I need some help, haha. I'm in Santa Cruz for the night and debating if the lost abbey stop is worth the extra ~200 miles. Their sours are some of my favorite US beers I've had, but I have this feeling I'm gonna get down there and get not a whole lot more than I could find in...

I'm leaning towards 101 as I'd love to hit the Firestone in PR as well as some barrel works in Buellton. Leaving portland today with Redding as my end goal for the night, so may be a day ahead of schedule already.

Brew in a bag will allow you to crush to almost a flour and skyrocket your efficiency.

I am heading down as far as San diego. I decided it'll be a long time, if ever, before I get another chance to hit the Lost Abbey so I'm just going to make it happen. As of now the plan is to spend Fri night in San Fran, and sat night in san diego. That could change a day or two in either...

Don't forget, you have to clean that stuff. This is why breweries move on to "big boy equipment." Their product starts to suffer tremendously. Plastic is MUCH less forgiving than stainless in regards to cleanliness and sanitation.

I hate to be the one to burst your bubble here, and I truly hope you can prove me wrong and be successful at whatever you're doing. But there simply isn't a GOOD and cheap way to do these things. If there were, why would companies like Stone, Sierra Nevada, etc.. spend MILLIONS to do the same...

Haha, get stuck as in not want to leave, not literally stuck, I assume, right? Lost Abbey(s) are my main focus down there, everything else will be gravy. Got a good friend living in ABQ so hopefully he knows all the best spots to take me while I'm there.

You guys crack me up, if you boycotted everything made by a company that didn't give a **** about you you'd be living in the woods naked. Get over it.
